does anybody else have a dejavu thing with that pcb?
i cant help but think ive seen it before...

they definately cut off the back part and made it shorter, like literally cut it off with a saw LOL... they even cut some solder pads in half as you can see in the better high res pics...

its not any gtx260/75/85 pcb variation... its not the old or new 295 pcb, its not the 9800gx2 or 7950gx2 pcb... its not anything g92 either from what i can tell...
the odd thing is that it has the solder spots for 8pin to the top and then apparently another 6 pin to the top further to the back, but only 2 pins are visible, the rest of the pcb has been sawed off...

previous tesla cards have this odd one power connector up and one to the side thing as well, BUT they have the 8 pin to the side and the 6pin to the top... well, this card has as well, plastic connector wise, but the actual pcb solder spots are contradicting that completely

the heatsink shround will probably be used for the tesla card once its finished, they cant make it much longer cause theres just not more space inside their tesla blade servers and i think they dont want to redesign those... but the pcb is completely diferent from what the final cards will have...

what really sticks out when looking at this card compared to the previous generations of nvidia cards, is that the gpu seems to be centered above the pciE interface... thats odd, cause then either the nvio chip needs to be moved, and where to? or the memory chips need to be moved... that would mean there are only memory chips on 2 sides of the gpu... which sounds more likely.

conclusion:
very lame launch event from nvidia... very very lame... as in setting a new record in paper launches...
they should have at least shown a dummy card that looks more like the actual retail cards... or maybe they dont even know it yet cause they are still that far away from actually mass producing them

its beyond irony that its nvidia that criticized intel for their lrb pr campaign all the time, rightfuly!, and now they beat intel at lame pr campaigning by having a paperlaunch based on hot air and bold words, oh and a video of some floating green spots and a frankenstein sample card based on some old sample parts they fished out of the rnd labs trashcan
