The heatpipse look correct, cause we saw the inards on another thread, and in the bottom left corner of the cooling solution you can see some of the same "holes/slots" in the case.

looks like there is a hiden heat pipe as well, four stick out but you can see five pipe lanes on the heatsink, one may wrap around inside the case.

Only 3-way? You would think by now Nvidia would catch on and go 4-way like ATI does with it's cards

I doubt the market is big enough for two players in that niche.  Having said that, EVGA's required investment minimum will be much lower than nVidia, hence how they can afford to produce and sell their Classified 4-way SLi graphics cards, which is the only way you'll see the type.

I think most of the ppl buying this would having no problem buying a second 1200w PSU

You're absolutely correct, but how many of them are there at any one time?  As a business, you don't just counter everything your competitor does, you must first decide which competiting aspect to counter, to get the highest ROI (return on investment).  nVidia may have already decided against 4-way individual card SLi a long time ago.

Just look at the money you have to spend on the CPUs

Dude, there is no "have to" in this market, only "want/desire" which by nature makes it small.
 
The more you spend, the smaller club you're a part of.

Wish I could see it. I get to see this ugly red X inside a box though!

Right click it and view image. That always works for me.

Tried that already!              

I know. This isn't the first time I can't see a pic. Right clicking on it works on 98% of them I try though!

Come in and out of the thread until it works. Thats what I had to do.

That worked! Good advice!

why does Nvidia claims, according to the graphic, "Fastest GPU in the world", when we know for sure that this joint will NEVER beat that 5970, which is in reality, the fastest gpu card man ever made. Unless, that graph is not officially from Nvidia but photoshop by some fool. 

to Raku: it would be nice if you can edit and list the same spec of its predecessor gtx 280 or gtx 285 like you have listed gtx 480 spec, so for the noobs can compare what have Nvidia gone from GT200 to Fermi.  

HD5970 has two GPUs...

fastest GPU means GF100 is faster than a single RV870..

i am also on it being a fake. but some what of a good job in photo shop. ahah. with all this pic this pic that. its funny if you look at some shots that were shown a while back none of them look like this with the card in the case.

next thing is that where is the led on the top of the card.

come on just some one else making a fake to start some thing.

Just found this on the GameTrailers forum and thought I'd share it



GTX 470-$350
GTX 480-$499

Your welcome. lol It was making me mad too when I couldnt get it to show.

Forgot to put the words "Thank You" in there before!              

Wow the power draw is the same as a 5970. Now either something is wrong there or Nvidia rushed Fermi in order to get it out soon. Why did they not use 40nm in making this as compared to ATi?

Not to impressed on the design but the specs sure make me drool!!!
