Some slides from the Press-presentation:
^even the Chinese are making fun of #Occupyfailstreet
^they ran a public brainstorming session among Chinese forums
^hand sketch of the product design that came out of the brainstorming session
^it does really look like something in orbit
^I have a hunch that at those speeds, it should beat GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores, both reference and any level 1 OC. NV will prevent partners from selling level 2 or above factory OC bins, because it will hurt GTX 570.
^ Modularity comes in the form of kits, each of which are optional for the running of the card, though everything is included in the package
^ This is interesting. 1/3 of the voltage regulation is shed to this card, if connected. It has four additional phases using flatcoil choke and DrMOS. It also has a 128 KB EEPROM that stores an epic clock speed BIOS that overrides one of the two BIOS ROMs on the main card. This mechanism makes sure that you have access to the epic clock speeds only when this card is installed (to guarantee electrical stability).
^ you don't have to plug in all four of them, just in any combination you like.
^OK, I'll leave this for you to comment.
^ component quality brag and free DrMOS marketing
^ cooler brag. If you look closely at the base, it's not exactly a plate in some parts, but a tightly packed layer of copper wires that are plated and polished on top. Then there's a solid plate right over the GPU, that's milled to perfection.
^backplate brag. Actually the backplate is more of a heatsink, with a silver-silica substrate that quickly conveys heat from the reverse part of the PCB. You can attach those heat-fin stack thingies to the backplate.
^ More cooler brag. Because, moar.
^ To summarise the overkill.
In my opinion, this isn't really overkill. With recent wage hikes and inflation not creeping up, the average Chinese today has more disposable-income than ever. So companies like Colorful aren't even bothering with US market. They'll end up selling most of their cards at home, some in Europe.
