Dual GF104 will be a 495 and not the 580

unless nvidia goes the rebrand route ... LOLL

At any rate, if this card is based on the GF104 design and not the GF100, it could be a real winner. After all, it was the non-gaming enhancements to the core that made the GF100 so power hungry... After all, what does a gaming gpu need the ability for ECC memory for?

A 512 shader part based on that design should, theoretically, use less power than the 480 shader enabled GTX 480.

so because amd has a new gen stuff and if nvidia still uses gpu's based on the gf100 series ... they can change the name without architecture mods and be ok with it without being burned to stick ???


its a rebrand if they do this .... nothing else ... and i hope everyone who said amd did one for the 6k series will cry foul when this happens
