About LinkBacksWhy does NVidia have to utilize absolutely massive PCBs? Last time with my 6800 it was just a few mm's shy of my hard drive, how do these compare, any bigger?
How come ATi can produce similar cards on much smaller PCBs?

I wasn't really comparing the 7800s to my 9600 - merely commenting on my poor old 9600! What I meant was that I don't remember the older cards e.g. the early Geforces being that big. Although, wasn't there some stupidly big Voodoo card?Originally Posted by Kez
Actually, that reminds me of this card: http://carcino.gen.nz/images/index.p...796d8/5e08eed6

they seem to be about the same size but don't quote me on that. ATI seem to be able to make smaller cards because of the lower amount of power circuity on the boards. wether this will be a problem with long term stability though is a different story.
your computer is similar to a fridge in that if it cannot keep a beer cold then it sucks

Wow, those pics sure put it into perspective Tarinder, but if I might submit my own for comparison:
Exhibit D: Realtek-based PCI NIC
Note the bemusement.

Please do not message me about Scan Free shipping, I no longer work for HEXUS.net
How can they call the realtek an ethernet adapter with its horrid cpu sucking design i'll never know. The stupid design cant even bus master lock!
Those cards look tasty...
Anyone wanna bet that if you redo the TIMs on the cards they will all OC to with in 10MHz of eachother?
Wow the XFX one looks well cool :O that alone is quite tempting
even with the near £450+ price tag ?
my inno3d does 490mhz core and 1300mhz memory with no problem at all and i havent even put some decent thermal compound on
Did you manged to pull the backplate out your nose in the end?Wow, those pics sure put it into perspective Tarinder, but if I might submit my own for comparison:

Note the bemusement.
The price is nothing with such a luring mystical layer of thing on the heatsink like that.
I say we have a useless compo to find the smallest PCI card ever.
I'll take the Realtek NIC plz Kez - only card here that will work out of the box with a P3 700mhz (Cringe)
Nice cards... I'm sat here drooling over all these high-end cards. Want to donate 1 to the wildmonkey high quality PC gaming foundation afterwards ?
As for Kez's piccy.... caption time
