Graphic Cards Nvidia GeForce 7800 GTX graphics cards spotted at Computex

heh, saw that.
A thread at guru3d has much better pics than that on toms.
Anyway, cards keep gettings bigger and bigger for nvidia :p

Hope that final card is not this big. This is supposed to be a old engineering sample which has gone through some brutal times. They noticed burns on PCB and Fan connector due to heat :p
 
Just out of curiosity, Funky had mentioned this in Ace's earlier G70 thread:

Nope they will never design a cooler like this. Not logically.
There wont be any gap on the top like it is in the given pic.
The design of fan seems to be same as current GF6 series. This means side fan pass the air on the fins horizontally. Thats why the top is covered with current GF6 series.
If there are gaps left on top as in the pic then air will escape from there and wont pass over all fins at good pressure.
And NVIDIA will never make such mistake even on their prototype or A0 silicon cards.
This is 100% fake.

Yep.
But with better pics its clear that thats not heatpipe as it looked in the earlier pic.
There are 3 seperate sections unlike just 2 on current boards. And those two lines are the edge of core heatsink.
I am still hope this is not the final cooler.
Soo much efficiency will be lost with this cooler.
 
Well right now the cooling is surely not working, as I had posted earlier the chips were burnt in one of the pics... 150 watts power what do you expect...
