    Thumbs up Gainward's 6800 Ultra CoolFX - EXCLUSIVE shot

    The PR fairy waved her magic wand over my Inbox this morning. After last week's exclusive shot of Gainward's air-cooled board, we've got the first pics of the CoolFX too.



    We should have the first UK review of both version before the end of the month, all going well at Gainward. Stay tuned!

    Is dual DVI going to be standard on all future nVidia cards or is it still a Gainward only thing?

    This is a pre-pro one the LED wires will be hidden on the final boards.

    Dual DVI on all 68Us.

    Well it is a pre production board as David said. So, hopefully the final ones will be funkier colours!
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    I'd have thought nVidia needed to bring as much attention to these new cards as possible ... go for the funky colours I say !

    I really like that cooler... It does a good job, and makes the card look even more gigantic than it does with an air cooler! And we all know that a gigantic graphics card is a good graphics card.
    Light travels faster than sound. Is this why some people appear bright until you hear them speak?
