Because under the fan there's just a baseplate heatsink. The fan's job is to push air laterally, a not-so-old example of this concept is GTX 590:
Not much happening right under that fan.

Still does not explain [LOL, quoting myself] :
[...] Why is the fan blowing into [...] #0D0908 ???" << LOL

#0D0908 is a color. Nearly entire space under the fan is of this solid color ['sept for the heatpipes, wires and a little of other stuff (those parts being identical to those in the image of 7850, so to note)]

P.S. I am not actually sure if it is a fake or not, and never was. Just, this whole "investigation" & drama thing is fun. + intelligent debate. YAY!

To be frank, I'm on your side wrt skepticism about this picture. But I'm banking on the plausible-deniability trick PR departments play.

PR departments dealing with sensitive information deliberately don't give 100% accurate pre-launch photos/presentations to give to semi-important people who are not NDA signatories, so if leaked, they could deny them as fake (pointing out flaws). Sometimes they're Mr. Blurrycam shots, sometimes dodgy to the sharp eye.

We all know how recently, everyone pounced on the first GTX 680 picture by calling it fake on grounds of that poorly-done "GTX x70TI" marking, while others calling it a morphed GTX 580 board. Not much later, it took shape as the real GTX 680. Maybe this pic is fake and poorly done because not even AMD has a polished-looking press-shot of the real thing, maybe it's not. Such <100% accurate pics are shared with entities like distributors. Contrary to popular belief, most leaks originate not from the press, but from the supply-chain. The press is hardly told anything about unannounced products till about a week before launch when they get samples to test.

At these specs the TDP of this card would exceed 400 W. Which i think is wayyy too much. So i believe it's a fake. But if AMD managed to pull it off with a TDP of less than or equal to 400 W, it's going to crush the hell out of GTX 680.

Hehe! As I said, I am not sure if it is a fake or not. Heck, I never really cared in the first place. I am here just for the whole process. If someone were to try vigorously to prove it was a fake, I would probably try to defend it as being genuine.

P.S. I am a loyal NV fan, thus, AMD GPUs simply pose no actual interest to me. ;]

Um i'm pretty sure 2 Tahiti core's would crush a single gk104, that's like comparing CF/SLI to single card :wtf:

Mind you, the 6990 already have a TDP of 375W, with the bios switched it does go beyond 400W.
Anyways, generally Dual-GPU cards tends to have slightly lower power consumption than two equivalent Cards even at equal clock speeds.

450W TDP on AUSUM switch for the 6990.

That heatpipe under the fan and the fan itself being to small for such a card gave it away for me.
But i think those specs might be close as amd want to cach up with gtx 690.

well, under the fan is a heatpipe, but why wuld there be any heatpipe underneath the fan? :laugh:

the gpus are supposed to be on the left & right of the fan, so what's the point of that heatpipe under the fan? there's no any gpu in there, and no heatsink :rolleyes:

take a look at this 590 pcb here:


see my point?;)

Earlier-tested, later-redacted tab that is basically a Monitor-Z. Maybe we'll reintroduce it in the future when someone volunteers to type "1920x1080" and "1366x768" a gazillion times.
