FINALLY! Now i can pressure cook my carrots in my pc case

Wouldn't the 490 model number make more sense? Unless nVidia plan to re-badge the 4 series...

hehe my thoughts exactly. I'd still be quite interested in seeing the inevitable 560s in SLi thoughSurely not...?

The great NVIDIA rebranding thing.Surely not...?

F32 = repainted F22 ? Only NVIDIA aerospace can do it!
Bollocks!
This is just the green team slipping out some information/misinformation to spoil the red team's party... as they have always done and will continue to do.

I wonder if the supposed re-jigged GF-110 can deliver full Fermi performance with lower TDP as well.

TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I'd expect so, or at least the extra cores for roughly the same TDP as before, as they'll have got a better handle on the 40nm process.
The TDP certainly can't go much higher unless the cards start to come with three power connectors...
We laughed when they put one on. People said they were crazy for two. Three would just be natural progression at this pointThe TDP certainly can't go much higher unless the cards start to come with three power connectors...
Doesn't the ARES (5970) one have 3 connectors ?

Yes but they aren't necessary from the outset. They're only really useful if you overclock the card beyond its rating (difficult), as 8+8+6 on the Ares allows for 450W already, when the TDP of the card itself is only around 360W. You'd be pushing volts up well beyond the danger zone to get anywhere near 450W.
The other 4GB HD5970 cards only use 8+8, which allows for 375W max.
The GTX480's current actual TDP (not the fake one published) is about 295W from what I can see, so some serious strings need pulling if they're not to exceed the 300W that 8+6 allows. They might just go for an 8+8 which would be sensible. However, it'll make them look pretty bad when the HD6970 turns up and uses around 250W for more performance, which it will.
How there going to keep this under 300 watts I don't know.
Salazaar : <Touching wood as I write this...>
If that picture is true, they aren't, That's an 8+8 on the card, suggesting TDP will be between 300 and 375W.
If its over 300 watts thats a epic fail as it wont be PCI-E validated.
Salazaar : <Touching wood as I write this...>
Well, this is nvidia. They will probably state the TDP as 295W when it's actually 350W. The GTX480 TDP is a barefaced lie as it is.

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
