Just spotted this bit of Info posted over at Hexus.net!
Today we managed to sneak an exclusive look at the new NVIDIA PCI-Express based NV45 card which apparently does not use the HSI interface (we are waiting for a 3rd party to confirm this fact.) Apparently NV45 is a new tape out and has NATIVE PCI-E support.
True to their word NVIDIA have dropped the second connector on the card, however something which does raise doubts in our minds is the fact they now have a 3*2 connector on the card instead of a normal 'molex' connector.
This is, in theory forcing consumers to buy a new PSU to feed this - the reason for the power connector change is to give 4 12 volt feeds to the card.
We would like to give more information but at the moment we don't have it. We don't have any photos either, but as we get it we will tell you more.

nVidia managed to paper launch a new card BEFORE their last paper launch was available in stores! Kudos nVidia, you just keep breaking new PR ground!  |

Because digitalwanderer is really Agent Smithy in the mATIrix and he can bend anything nvidia related to fit his own reality. |

Is their really no law against this? DW, BTW you still haven't answer my question about what you think when ATI told reviewers to force trilinear on nv40 cards although they had their optimizations on all the time and stated in some PDFs that trilinear is on by default on X800 and that they are against filtering optimizations? |

It was just PR stuff, just like the LOADS nvidia pulled last year. I think ATI are owed a few of these PR FUDs to be honest. PR departments are a law unto themselves anyway i would have thought you'd know that by now. |
