hmm,havent use Rapidshare for a while, new GUI

[RealTelstar]

youtube >>> rapidshare

btw.

[Jowy Atreides]

it's a gt 260 in the video btw,
I've not seen any leaks of it yet but the 6+6 power connectors define it as such

thanks gtx280 is nice

bad video ist fake.

[Jowy Atreides]

bad video ist fake.

not fake, and it's a 260

[865pe]

not fake, and it's a 260

gtx 260 single slot. card ist not single?

[Jowy Atreides]

gtx 260 single slot. card ist not single?

where does it say the gtx 260 is a single slot card?

why do you think my video is fake?
We've all seen the gt280 and it has the same heatsink

[clonez]

that card aint fake, neither the tech demo

[Jowy Atreides]

that card aint fake, neither the tech demo

yeah, the level you would have to go to to fake such a thing would be staggering


for a start you would need possession of a gtx 280 to modify the heatsink and fake 2x6 pin connectors

and the graphics demo would take months to fake

[fornowagain]

A single card drawing 250 watts is impossible. Even a 8800 Ultra drew 130-150W. I wonder what TDP Ultra was rated at?

8800Ultra 175W. And why is 250W impossible? Its certainly within the power cable rating 75+75+150. If its rated at approx 240w peak, 190W is not impossible and overclocked? Who knows.

[Decami]

referring to whoever said the $600 was bad...wasnt that how it was with the G80 when it first came out?

yeah the ultra on release hit 700 even 750.

[Apoc@]

[cowie]

man,first some gripe about cheap 98gtx waaaa its not new.
now you get a card twice as fast(well soon to be seen anyways)and $650 is too much?.....too bad
you wanted a new fast card and it seems you have to pay for it....or just wait 2 yrs you will get one cheaper

gtx 260 single slot. card ist not single?

lol single slot GTX260 = molten copper

Oh, I know by the power cable numbers it's possible; but do we have a confirmed TDP rating of 250w for GTX 280?

A top end G92 (overclocked 9800GTX) draws at most near 90W. 250W is some way off double of that, although under %100 load it will likely be more than 150W.

[zerazax]

Ouch 10.5 inches for the GTX260?

At least the G80 GTS's were 9"...

At most 90W for a 9800GTX? Its more than that, TDP is 168W btw.

Even estimating from a typical system power (allowing for PSU efficiencies) the difference from idle to load is around 100w. Look at SLi figures to minimise other system loads. Work them anyway you like, no way is a 9800GTX only using 90W max. More like 125w at stock, higher for an OCed version. If it were near 90W there would certainly be no need for 2x6 pin PCI-e plugs.

[annihilat0r]

You're right, my bad. It looks around 140W. If this is 140W, then a GTX 280 could easily be 250W.

I can't understand how a G80 GTX is only slightly less power efficient than the G92 GTX. This is what fooled me.

I wonder why nivdia card is always more expensive than the ATI ones are they really that good? in benching is the the ATI has the highest in 3Dmark06?

[annihilat0r]

^^ most ATI/NVidia cards perform on par with their prices

yes

[jaredpace]

any predictions from the voltmod community on OC capability of the 260/280?

thx!

yes,

I have made a preview voltmod



it will pump 1.21 gigawatts and may enable the card to play crysis

[annihilat0r]

Without AA.
