First Picture of the Final GeForce 6800 Ultra Design?

Posted by: Newsfactory on: 04/10/2004 04:35 PM [ Print | 20 comment(s) ] · 3564 views

Thanks to Hanners over at Elite Bastards for the heads up!

I've just been sent the following image, which is supposedly a picture of the final reference design for NV40, aka the GeForce 6800 Ultra. Is it the real thing? No doubt we'll find out later this week...

Jesus H. Christ. Again with the stinking Elite Bastards! Those guys don't know anything! Like that guy said the other day. Ban those Elite Bastards!




Oh wait! I'm an Elite Bastard. Scratch that.

The picture is clearly a photoshop hack job.

No, it's a real pic.

However, you are right on one point - The final, retail cooling solution will be much, much worse that that. :oS

It will require the energy of a small star to power it's massive GPU?

I can see it's a made up pic but the 2 power connectors seem to be an ongoing theme through all the rumours I've read.
I just hope my 500w psu can handle it plus all my case fans.

Well, I guess we'll leave it to you to e-mail nVidia to let them know their marketing shots are chopped. I'm sure they'll be grateful to hear your expert insight. :)

and why will 2 power connectors make a difference? makes a full on zero difference, especially with switched psu's. any connector can draw exactly the same amount of power as 2 can.

You're right. However, it's done to guarantee that power is distributed evenly across the entire board. Exactly the same reason that the Volari Duo has two molex connectors (one for each GPU).

I bow to your infinite wisdom.

Putting so much strain on 1 Molex will cause the PSU (anything but the best) to go BOOM.

Besides, who said that the electrical paths on the card end in the same place (fedding the same components)?

Nah, it would be more fun if he emailed Nvidia about pics being posted while many are under an NDA.
