If that's real, then I note the single additional power supply connector, and not the 2 previously used.

Single slot, looks like the new 55nm process is going to reduce heat output a fair bit.

The only questions are: 1) wonder how long til 2950xt 2) How are they gonna perform

What's the rumoured speed on these anyway? 2900XT speed? Slower? Faster?

I think she's calling my name!!

Whats the RRP on these hotties?

If its using PCI-E 2.0 it can draw 150W from the connector, so could still need loads of juice. Not sure if this does use 2.0 though.

now tats a more reasonable sized cooler. and is tghat a single 8 pin or 6 pin power connector?

6 pin by the looks of it. You can see the six solder points of the connector if you look at the underside of the board.

some rumours say it'll be faster and some say it'll be as fast as the r600

i think the connecter is only used when the card is used in a pcie 1.x slot...

With it being 55nm there should be a lot of overclocking potential to come out of it.

Anyone know what yeston's RMA history is like, might pick one up for my spare PC.

well don't get your hopes up on that.

the 2400/2600 is 65mm but they are very different to overclock.. e.g past 857mhz theres no different even if u clock it to 891 the fps just slows down or stays the same not speeds up..
