Looks like a 8+6 power from the pics. Well, at least it is not 8+8

He quoted the part on btarunr's article where your question is answered, it's as long as a reference GTX280. Don't argue about such a stupid thing, please.

lol fake, everything blacked out, so this is about as useless as the woodscrew fermi. sorry but i could take any gtx series card in photo shop and make this......and i hardly know how to use photo shop, and for all you know this is a gtx 200 series card with a new pcb design for the next batch of renaming

Lol look guz its fermi

there is no single-gpu card fron nvidia with holes like those in pcb

Fail on the blacking out, we can still tell from those pics what power plugs it has

they didn't want people to see the "feed me" notes written in

Fan cutout on the PCB and a nickplated cooler w/ heatpipes. Sounds like it runs hot?

Nickel-plated copper is copper minus the oxidisation over time.

doesnt it take many years for that to happen,

the copper on outdoor AC units along beaches can still last for years, maybe no more than 10, but when was the last time you used a 10 year old video card.

imo nickel plating is just over doing it, or just plain ol eye candy.

just plain copper (not the soft kind) is all you need imo.

Cleorina · Mar 3, 2010

Wow... this soon be my next upgrade for GC...

I hope it can beat 5970 with just this one card...

fatguy1992 · Mar 3, 2010

I knew thats why they blacked out parts of the GPU, but I didn't think there would be any identifying markings on the power plugs and PCI-E slot.

Because it had identifiable markings on the top of the plug. Some venders put their logo there.

Tannhäuser · Mar 3, 2010

Even if this is a fake, I have one question that bothers me most: is there hope, that the manufacturers of graphics cards got rid of that nasty problem with screaming copper coils/conductors I've experienced with a GTX285? Believe me, I will never buy a card with SUCH horror noises: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAnLxMyapOs
As I'm an user with a silent sys, this is most disturbing. Whatever the speed may be ... and no, you can't get rid of it always when deactivating vsync.

btarunr · Mar 3, 2010

Of course they have. MSI has come up with what it calls "Solid State Chokes" (SSCs), that have low core energy loss and zero noise. Gigabyte uses ferrite core chokes on its UDV graphics cards, manufacturers who use many vGPU phases end up minimizing that noise because there's lesser load on each choke, cards that use digital PWM multiphase inductors have no noise.

Tannhäuser · Mar 3, 2010

Nice. Those are good news!

Fourstaff · Mar 3, 2010

^ Tannhauser as Wagner's Opera or Tannhauser the Archangel's cannon?

Tannhäuser · Mar 3, 2010

Tannhäuser from Wagner's Opera AND from the "Tannhäuser Gate" from Blade Runner.

Looks like a man and a women doing the Voodoo dance in the forest of Nvidia land with all the magic faeries dancing to What is love.

*drool* *sigh* *Oh yeah baby don't stop* :nutkick:

+ one to this, I was going to call him out on this too, this is a PCB I've never seen.

I've seen a fair few in my time as well :laugh:

@ Cleorina, don't you think you should maybe wait for reviews before deciding to buy the card?

Won't be getting one of these myself, settled on 5770 now, will grab another one later if I need more power, for now @1ghz its plenty.

Bad for your wallet when it comes to hardware though

wolf · Mar 3, 2010

I really like the holes in the pcb for the blower fan to get fresh air from the back of the card, tip top idea IMO.

InnocentCriminal · Mar 3, 2010

Anyone notice anything wrong with these pictures...

btarunr · Mar 3, 2010

Gigabyte got used to "ATI HD 5000"

who didn't?
