EVGA offers a sneak peek at Nvidia's next dual-GPU monster

Hmm, 90% of the time you have a chip on the backside of the card, memory chip that is, you have the same amount on the other side. Which suggest 8 chips per core, or 1gb, 2gb if its the double density chips being used. Either way it would suggest certainly not a 384bit bus, suggests 256bit bus, or, something heavily cut down.

That or it is gf104, or gf114(assuming thats what the new version will be called, the 560gtx), which is definately possible, and would be a MASSIVE step down from two gf110's.

Anyway, yet to see/know anything really, remember quite a lot of these shots got leaked last year, for dual gf100's and dual gf104's and none showed up.

Odd card to say the least, I hope the antilles, and if Nvidia make anything and actually release it, both will have that kind of cooling, dual or triple proper fans cooling a proper open heatsink.
 
If its anything less than 570 chips on the same pcb its an automatic fail trying to compete with the 6990.
Even if they use 570's the AMD's scale better in CF, the supply of 500 series cards will be even more strained, the price will be forced higher and they have a low profit margin.

If this is their flagship card to try and take the fastest card crown then I would expect the codename to be gf-P***ing_into_the_wind :p







In my honest opinion.

We will see, Antilles aka 6990 will run into same power problems and may even be worse with these dual gpu cards.
Evidence is there from slightly fail 6970 cards!



In my honest opinion.

The holes would indicate that Nvidias reference cooler just might expel the hot air out?

I wouldn't read too much into it. It's more likely they just used a standard backplate they had sitting around.

My non-reference 5850 is like that. The cooler is one of the radial flower designs, but it's got the same backplate as a reference card.

It does look nice, and I do own one of the few cases that it'll probably fit inside.

Hahahaha and this is where ATI have one upped Nvidia.

With ATI's new power clamping stuff they can:

A) clock the card as far as it can truly can.
B) clamp the card to 300W

Now yes this limits performance in games like metro HOWEVER you design the card to actually handle 400W and you can use the power clamping controls to allow 400W.

Now you keep the OEMs happy, can call it PCI express fully compliant AND without even overclocking you can unlock its true performance.
 
pffft. If its anything less than 580's and has a decent amount of RAM its pointless, and as such can be /ignore.

/me secretly starts saving for a new quad sli graphics. Even if its not real, Ill end up with enough for Tri SLI instead.

This is clearly not a Nvidia cooling solution but EVGA as stated in the article.
I wonder how they will expel all that heat trough the tiny little blow hole?

It will need some serious cooler design for this baby.

well if gigabyte can do that design for Radeon HD 5870 with a small vent at the side i guess evga could make it work dispite it would be running two gpu

This is just EVGA grabbing some CES limelight, doubt it will see the light of day with the current Nvidia cores.

Who knows they have a price in the pipeline, it would really be true and not a fake
