NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTX and GT Pictures

[malware]

Here's a link to the PC Club forums thread, which shows first pictures of NVIDIA's latest GeForce 8800GTX and GeForce 8800GT video cards, based on the G80 GPU. You can clearly see how massive the new cards are going to be. The one with the water cooling is GeForce 8800GTX, the other is 8800GT version.

Crappy looking.

 

[Canuto]

Yeah but does that really matter?

if i doesn't have watercooling i can't have a 6800gtx?

 

[newtekie1]

I assume/hope those are not the final heatsink designs.

 

[Alec§taar]

I don't understand Kanji, so it is nothing but photographs to me...

I would like a technical readout of features & such (transistors count, etc.) on this, IF possible, in English... don't mean to be a nag, but here is an area I am VERY curious on in hardwares!

P.S.=> Here's some of that, in case you guys cannot read/translate Kana, etc.:

Shure it does.

Crappy looking.

it`s just the reference design..when the companies that will produce it,make their final adjustments i believe it will be alot better.

Dude, that thing has TWO PCI-E connectors and a liquid cooling line inside the cooler ...doesn't bode well for thermal output. And it certainly doesn't bode well for my power bill llol. So much for DX10 being efficient lol.

 

[SunShine]

This card is too long .

 

[EastCoasthandle]

Wait, you guys see nothing wrong with 2 PCI express, 6 pin connectors, the "buzzer" at the end of the cards (vista requirement, I'm sure) and the option to have both HSF and what looks like a radiator water cooling solution using alu plating with 90 degree bends??? Come on this thing looks like a pure crap to me. I mean come on, at least offer a brick power supply to offset the dual PSU requirements, sheesh talk about inefficient and backwards.

Here is the possible AGP, SLI version

 

[technicks]

Yeah man. The card will stick out 2 or 3 cm more the length of the ATX motherboard.
I see some fitting problems
And those double connectors are absolutely rediculous.
Buy another psu again:shadedshu

 

[jocksteeluk]

all i can say is its about time they moved on from the 7 series but it is a shame they havent bothered to do anything about the power consumption issues

 

[HaZe303]

Im a bit afraid that both Nv and ATI will have humongos powerrequirements, and to me it seems they are taking the easy way out. Instead of trying to invent something new, something that is powerful graphics vise but doesnt tripple youre electricity bill. This is bad news for the worlds enviroment. We are already murdering our "mother" earth, so we really dont need even more stuff sucking down power...

im going to keep my x1800gto for 2 or more years, so im safe
and when i buy a dx10 i will buy a mid budget one

 

[tofu]

All I can say is:

HOLY SH!T LOOK AT THE CARD LENGTH!!!

I'm waiting for the DX10 midrangers, probably the 8600GT.

EDIT: I missed the 2x PCI-E CONNECTOR

 

[Azn Tr14dZ]

I'm probably going to go mid-range DX10...maybe SLI too. No need to go high-end for me.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

that'd fit in my case(akasa eclipse 62)noooooo problemo,i have 3-5" of tray past the end of my board.i'll squeeze that baby in.

mine will probabily fit, if not is modding time when i get it

a couple 8600gs would be great

 

[thedivinehairband]

The size of that thig is ridiculous and the heatsink it looks to require, equally so. And water cooler by default? That's just wrong. None of that for me please. I think I'll chug along quite happily with my little X800XL for a while.

Wonder what sorta state the r600 will be when we finally get some pics of it. Reckon I'll go midrange like Azn and tofu suggested. Gonna have a look out when the rv6** series come around. (Bum Shaka Laka, LOL)

Anyway have plans for my Mobo, CPU and RAM before I go changing my graphics card.

That's disgusting.

I really wanted a DX10 card, but if they're gonna require 500 watt PSUs or better, I won't patronize them. If they follow the performance/power trend in the CPU industry then I'll buy one.

 

[overcast]

Crappy looking.

Are you attending a fashion show?

 

[Ketxxx]

its big, looks ugly, coolingdoesnt even look like it would be THAT effective without modding, rediculous power requirements, ill have none of that thanks. lets see what ati can offer.
