IN this picture this video card has one molex is this true?

hmm... maybe its a newer or maybe an older revision that only needs/needed one connector.
 
notice that the board isn't based on the reference design. Maybe aopen tweaked the board enough to only require 1 molex.

If so, that could give them a pretty major advantage. I mean, obviously their card will require approximately the same amount of power as everybody else's, but this will be MUCH easier to hook up in your system.

nv38 has a heatspreader on the core, and the core isn't that big, or has a shim .Jesus.

yupp, that aint an nv38 core, nv 38 is smaller and twisted 45deg, i was wrong on that :( but that is an nv38 reference board
 
AFAIK, it's up to the board makers to include dual DVI + a DVI->VGA converter, or DVI + VGA. So it's possible that we'll see that configuration in a 6800u.

he's right, it's the same design as the nv38 reference board

edit: link won't work, but hexus has a good pic of one on their site
 
Forgot where I read it, but I recall seeing that vendors could use only one connector but it cannot have any other devices on the string (not even a fan), whereas with two connectors you could put other devices on the remaining connectors.
