Looks like the image from a few days ago was correct. Notice where the PCIe power plugs are on the image from this thread: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2242900

Legitreviews has some images of the actual PCB:

Very small PCB. The cooler actually hangs off the back. If people had qualms as to the "quality" of the 680 compared to the 7970, then this should really give them some ammo for the 670 vs the 7950. Can't wait to see the full benchmarks.

Why not just make the HSF shorter? More people can fit cards into their cases that way.

Length of HSF determines cooling capabilities, which in turn determines temperatures and noise levels. Given that everything else is the same, a longer HSF always produces lower temperatures and/or operates more quietly.

The fact that the 690 is only 1 inch longer than the 680 yet runs quieter is actually pretty amazing.
 
if this is real and there's that little of PCB, it could prolly be redesigned to be low profile and crammed it into mitx builds
 
Seams strange that the PCB is so short. Thats shorter than my old 5750, much less a 7950 equivalent.

The power connectors on the cooler place it there, just seams very odd.

Looks fake, but in any case, if you lock voltages that relieves a lot of pressure to make a higher quality PCB since you know the card won't get stressed beyond the highest voltage you allow.

Too bad about the voltage/TDP limits. The 660Ti could easily match or even beat a GTX 580 and with two SMXs disabled and a narrower memory interface, it would probably overclock really well. Well, too bad x2 since it seems like the 660 series has been pushed way out because of a respin (these are the cards that will sell in high volume, so NV can't afford horrible yields like the 670s).
 
For most here, stock clocks don't mean much. There's enough headroom in the 7950 that nVidia would have to be downright stupid not to clock the 670 high enough to beat the 7950 at stock clocks.

Full capability OC vs. OC and power consumption will be the only interesting points of the comparison between the 670 and 7950.

Especially when the 7950@stock is a well known quantity. I do not see NV being dumb enough to NOT beat it. I expect the gtx 670 to be about 5-15% faster than 7950, stock vs stock.

If the pcb is that short,companies like asus could make their direct cu 2 design very efficient and small,i believe the gtx550ti asus card has a single fan and from the box design picture the cooler looks small.

Can't wait to see what it can do and how it looks.:thumbsup:

I'd like to see a triple slot solution, it would look like a cube lol.
 
nvidia is gonna be making a fortune off this. $400 for what looks like a $25 budget card.

Honestly electronics look pretty low in volume and cheep on that board. Probably fake.

Thats about what I think too. But I've never seen a 7950 not get at least 30% Oc's and sometimes 50%. In the end I'm predicting victory for AMD. That board looks like it cant even handle stock let alone ocing.

On the Vantage benchmarks shown, isn't the blue line the 7950? It says R795WF3. It's 200 points ahead of the 7950, if it is. Stock for stock. I could be wrong about the graphs.
 
That's actually pretty cute, such a tiny PCB with so much performance potential... i hope it can handle some mild OC otherwise its going to be pretty horrible at $400.
