Time to start another 100 page thread.
Are you saying nvidia fudged the Watts? *SHOCK!!*Code:GF104 is reported to consist of 256 SP - half of GF100. same number of TMUs - 64; and only 33% less ROP - 32. Memory bus is down to 256-bit - the same as ATI's Cypress.
Most reviews I think used Furmark. Maybe need to compare to 5970 across 5-10 games, before making conclusion.
10% OC headroom means slightly lower power version possible.
Realistically, 4-6 months for new PCB and new stepping/revision - or until next year for 28nm.
Till then, nVidia's gonna downplay the power and do the best trying to sell them.
