NV40 photos

whoa thats awesome....
i wonder what kinda crazy cooling its gonna have....
i also wonder how the pics got leaked...

That's the non-retail variant. As of yet, we don't know what the mass production models look like.
 
Jesus, 2 molex connectors??? Cmon Nvidia, you just arn't learning are you?

ATI, show these Californians how to make a video card will ya?

I see now Nvidia is becoming so desperate to beat ATI their coloring the PCB the same nice red color. Nvidia, give it up will ya?:rolleyes:
 
Wow, 2 molex power connectors. That has to be pulling some serious wattage. I can only imagine how big the card would be if it had only 1 molex (more caps needed)

Having two means fewer onvideocard capacitors needed (the powersupply will handle the majority of the power requirements) An ultrahigh quality powersupply, and not just a high power one will be paramount for sure.

Since they did it like that, it will probably be required to use a seperate molex connector on each one and not daisychainable to any other devices like a harddrive or CD-rom. As is now, it is a good idea to run a videocard on a dedicated power line and not have a harddrive or CD attached to it.

I'm getting concerned about electrical feedback loops.
 
1) I can't see any pictures on that crazy korean website

2) PCI-E doesn't need the extra power; it has way more supplied to it than AGP anyway.
 
^thx for the link, the first site didnt show anything for me.

im fine with 2 molexes, id rather not have them ofcourse but as long as it does what its claiming to do and owns at dx9, im happy.

ah, for the love of god just be quiet,

people just wait until independent reviews come out and explain everything

im not feeling the love here
 
It is an AGP part and hence has the 2 molex connectors.

Also the card looks too ATi-esque to me. See the core, that is not what nVidia cores used to be like or am I missing something?
 
Notice the 2 DVI connectors ?? i think this might be a Quadro type card ..most retails don't have dual DVI.. the 2 molex connectors sounds right if its AGP ..the AGP bus only provides 0.8 volts to the card or something close to that ..which can no way power what nvidia is wanting to do due (16*1 pipelines ..1200mhz GDDRAM3) this doesn't suprise me ..the red color does though hehe i expected it to be nvidia green :)

Actually reference and sample cards like this one generally has a tiny amount of capcitors on them compared to cards that actually get shipped, check out some NV30 sample and reference pics and you'll see what I mean

most of NVIDIA's sample/demo cards have dual DVI.
it's up to the individual manufacturers to decide if they're gonna implement it or not,
and they usually choose 1 DVI + 1 VGA since it's cheaper.

You are right about the Quadros though... those almost always have dual DVI.

Then I guess you haven't been following video cards very long.

Remember the Voodoo6?

The NV40 shown here isn't too long at all, although longer than most retail cards out now. This is still just a demo card so who knows what the final card will look like from the various manufacturers.
 
As most of you suggested with Dual DVI Connectors etc, Im sure this isn't what most of us will be seeing. If it is, and it does in fact need two Molex connectors that someone better start lowering power costs in my area. IF all hardware goes this way our boxes will be pulling 5-600watts in no time...
 
Looks like a photshop to me especially around the DVI connectors, also if you look at the layout of the Matrox Parhelia and this card they look eerily similar.
Nvidia already has used a 256bit bus why would they suddenly use that weird Matrox-esque memory layout?
 
lol there is no possible way to fake that....
especially look at the little lines for where the cooler should go.

You ain't too smart, now are you? The GeForceFX 5950 has the same exact memory layout...

ENJOY!
 
it will probably come down to one by retail time. plus it isn't like it has never been done before, the volari duo uses two molex connectors.

Why do people assume JPEG compression artifacts = Photoshop!?
