That chart makes me warm and fuzzy inside. GTX 260, HERE I COME!

[Nuker_]

I hope GTX 280 outperforms 9800gx2 by a great margin.
After all, its shaders are 50 % more effective. I will buy it if it does very good.

[GAR]

Man, this is exciting, kind of like getting an 8800GTX in 2006!!!!

[brinox]

lol, the 280 will be replacing my 8800gtx haha!

[phelan1777]

hmmm anyone want to buy a 3 week old GX2, and an unused EK GX2 block?

Um yeah I think my card will pop up in the 4S section really soon..........

I have a back up on hand.

That is one long card. Will it fit into an antec p182?

[Jowy Atreides]

Thoust colours offend thy eyes.

Tom's has the 9900gtx apparently...

Look at the last image on the page, near the bottom.

That's very odd, might be an engineering sample when they didn't change the name yet.

Those pictures look awesome, GT200 here we come!!!

I know I'm getting mine, unless ATi/AMD manages to pull a miracle out of thin air, which I don't see happening.

This time I might wait slightly past launch though to avoid the initial price gouging.

6+8 connector for power , this card is again going to be an extreme furnace. Why cant nvidia use a design based on the 9600 GT ?

[largon]

Ugh, the fets on this thing are a nightmare to sink, no way to fit the under a single sink and no way for even RAM sinks due to those cercaps right next to them.
Dammit nV, put some effort to yer PCB designs!

I wonder what's the part# of the chip above the fan connector...

btw,
This card is not standard height. It's very close to 90mm - standard full height PCIe card is 98.5mm.

edit:
It would appear that:
- the mounting holes are not G80-compatible ()
- PCB is clearly ~10mm shorter and narrower than G80GTX
- GPU IHS is ~4mm larger than G80

Yea, just like the good old 6800GT times, no need to upgrade yet for me! I'll wait, 8800GTX runs great still.

Anyone know if Nvidia will include a 6 to 8 pin converter with the 280GTX?

My PSU only has two 6 pin PCI-E connectors...

usually the manufacturer supplies an 6 to 8 pin adapter.
But i still dont see any sense in the 8 pin connector... 2 additional gorund only?...

[largon]

The more (grounds) the merrier.
Likely the 8pin is not mandatory, just as it is not for HD2900.

What?? That's like saying why can't a Ferrari use a design based on a fuel efficient civic...

There are certain laws of physics you can't just avoid because you want to.

Smaller, but somewhat denser layout:

[bedlamite]

That's... big Oo

[zerazax]

Huge huge die... god I hope the stock cooler is decent or else its aftermarket cooling right away

[largon]

I see no die here.
That's the IHS...

well duh, everyone knows what he means
lighten up

[largon]

There's gotta be a backplate or half of the RAM gets no love.
