Would be nice if nV finally put some sense in PCB layouts - compared to Radeons their boards are horrible; parallel PWMs are scattered around the board, unified GDDR vDD & vDDQ, using old/obsolete or non-documented "top secret" phase controllers - that's what I'm talking about. It would be nice to see them achieve the level of masterpieces ATi has pulled recently - such as the OEM R600 board. This 210mm long beauty is over an inch shorter than 8800GTS but sports far superior 6-phase vGPU PWM with everything in one single clean row, dedicated vDD and vDDQ, double-width video RAM bus, no huge arrays of caps and no dead space.
There's only 3 things I would change in this board to make it perfect:
- R600 GPU
- R600 GPU
- R600 GPU
