    GeForce 8800 GTS 512 Mb has 3-phase power converter and I'm sure it's possible to make the same with GT.

    There's also tons of SMD components missing on the backside.
    I think it's possible to make it work but acquiring match parts would be a PITA and in the end, ordering the needed parts might become more expensive than shelling the extra dough for a GTS (which is 3 phase native).
    You were not supposed to see this.

    And although they are not available yet, some non reference 8800GT also have a 3 phase design like the Gigabyte one.

    Actually they are starting to appear on retail, here in Singapore at least.

    The G92 8800GTS samples (also 3 phase cards) are trickling in too, just waiting for the NDA to lift before hitting retail, so a little patience would be most useful.
