After seeing this heatsink it makes me think why couldn't all gpus use a beefy design like that ( and yes I know its due to cost which is why people go aftermarket... )

I was talking about GTX400 series of course. I thought it was obvious to anyone.

Interesting because Opengl drivers don't support tessellation till now. Comes with Opengl 4.0.

OH NOES! ATI Secret weapon!
Or NOT.. nVIDIA had some papers about Tesselation and Displacement Mapping on DX10 @ GT200. I guess they can do it also, if they want...

well, checked on g84, no tesselation, so obviously its 4-series fixed tesselator.

**Chickenfeed** · 03-23-2010, 08:58 AM

We have a thread for the 2.0RC1 benchmark here folks : http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=247960

I said GT200... but G92 could do it also.. I dont know if its a fixed function or not, the powerpoint doesnt specifically talk of it.. But i bet they can do tesselation in OpenGL also.. and thats what matter isnt it?

EDIT- See more here: http://developer.download.nvidia.com...Compatible.pdf

Last I heard that was up in the air as to which date it was, with availability being mostly pinned as 26th/29th. Did something else change?

**WeiT.235** · 03-23-2010, 09:41 AM

Forget about the gf100 performance and enjoy some nice Leadtek GTX480 and 470 photos!

Yummy pics

. Thanks for posting 'em up here.

**Manicdan** · 03-23-2010, 09:55 AM

i do think nvidia makes the sharper looking heatsink

**Tim** · 03-23-2010, 09:56 AM

Wow that 470 cooler is AWESOME. Seriously I didn't think I could be so enthusiastic about a cooler graphic.

**Chickenfeed** · 03-23-2010, 09:58 AM

Hopefully the 480 can safely run in tri sli configs and doesn't rely too much on the exposed heatsink to aid cooling. What I'd like to know however is if the heatsink design had the full part in mind or if they tailored it to the 480SP varient...

**trinibwoy** · 03-23-2010, 10:08 AM

Sexy but I haven't seen my graphics card since the day I installed it.

Windowed cases ftw?

(I don't run one, but just saying some people do see them day in day out).

Oh my case is open half the time but with the orientation of the graphics card I don't see the sticker/design, just the side profile. Not taking anything away from Leadtek's design though, it looks good.

Yeah, same here. My case is open all the time but from where I am sitting I can only see the backplate.

Turn it on in your browser options?

Fullscreen 2560x1600 only required vertical scrolling for me, I love it!
