Also, WTF is up with shaving the thin strip off the top of the PCB? That ensures you won't be able to SLI these new cards with an older 260 if you're using a rigid SLI bridge.

It's not shaved, it has PCB added near the power plugs. SLI will work fine (if it is possible to mix & match, don't know).

D'oh, didn't notice that. Still, I wonder why it requires a larger PCB than the cards it's replacing, if it's supposed to be a smaller manufacturing process and hence, run cooler. Perhaps it's due to the additional power phase they're adding, as well as the fact that the memory chips are all clumped together on one side of the card.

Gtx 260² , i think should they call it x2 cuz the 260²= 67600

Well I don't see the 260² being twice as fast as the present GTX 260, so calling it x2 doesn't make sense either

One thing I noticed, was that on this new board, there is no extra memory pad. So if they release a 55nm GTX280, it will have to use a completely different PCB than this as it has the extra memory on it.
