You're right, that definitely looks like it was pasted on. It did look a little off to me just from how bright it was, but I thought it was just the bottom of the heatsink.

You're right, look between the fan, you can see the table.
Unless there is supposed to be a big hole in the card
...or a big metal plate underneath?
Look at http://www.tagteam.dk/randompics/G804.jpg :roll:
Uhm...please look at the first pic.

Your telling me you cant see through the PCB and see the "plate" or "table"?
There is a hole in the card!
Photoshopped.
Can't tell, look at the metal plate sticking out from underneath the DHES casing with the same texture and colour as the "table" in the fan.
Now, look at the 804 picture, tell me what you see through the fan.
Actually after looking at pic 6
http://www.tagteam.dk/randompics/G806.jpg
It is a plate under it.
opps, my bad

Yeah, on closer inspection that metal plate looks almost identical to the surface under it, which might be throwing us off. It does look unusually bright in the G801 picture though.

We may have two cores in one package here gents.
Look closely.
Mirror image placement of resistors right under where GPU sits. So, possibly two cores in one package?
I'm going to look for a rear shot of a 7900GTX and see if the mirrored resistors are there.
Here, found one. And it doesn't look like anything is mirrored. All spec, of course, but just something to take note of.

just like I said in another thread:
one 750 mhz core for DX9 and one 750mhz core for DX10 = 1.5 ghz rumour.
When one core works, the other one does not sit idling. It can be used for physics, or even simple rendering calculations. So from here I guess again:
256 bit + 512 MB to the rendering core, 128 bit + 256MB to the spare core = 384 bit bus and 768MB memory.
I think I am on to something here

? one set of pictures shows the card with the hybrid cooler and the other pictures shows the card with the cooler removed thats why you see the table.
Its a hybrid water/air cooler developed by CoolerMaster (IIRC)
Pics of the GPU? Who cares about the cooler!!
Also, if keys' pictures indicate the truth, those cores look like they have to be 65nm's.

Its going to be 90nm

"We still only know a few details about G80, the only thing that we are quite sure of is that it is a 90 nanometre chip and we can also hundred per cent confirm it is not a 65 nanometre chip either. µ"

Somehow I doubt this could be true.
Assuming the DX9 core would be running the the 128bit bus and 256mb of memory, you're going to be severley limiting DX9 performance.
Why? It's still going to have a G80 core. You'll have 128-bit, GDDR4 with a rockin core rather than 256-bit, GDDR3 with one that has been around for over a year.
65nm LMAO!
Its pure logic M8, thats its a 90nm or a 80nm GPU. The chip needs to be redesigned for 65nm. Do so some researchOriginally posted by: maxxxxel
65nm LMAO!
I wasn't saying I thought they were. I was saying, if there are two cores in the space keys designated, they couldn't be 90 or 80nm's.
I still think it is a single core from the looks of the back of the pcb. Probably 80nm.
I guess that is true, but look at the X1900XT 256. It still performs well because of its core, even with the memory being half of what it initially was. Granted, it is still 256-bit.
Who knows, we'll have to see some benches.
I know 256mb vs 512mb doesnt make a huge difference right now, but it still makes a difference. Especially at high resolutions with the eye candy turned up. With that in mind, there are still DX9 games that are going to be released that push the envelope farther than current games push graphics cards (Quake Wars anyone?).
And I still refuse to believe that a 128bit bus will be incorporated. the G80 core could run 3GHZ and still be slow if there's no memory bandwidth. The memory clocks would have to be insane to make up for lack of bus width.
I think if there are indeed 2 chips on this solution then we will see a unified 384bit bus coupled with cores that work together, but not like SLI. I think each core will perform certain functions in the rendering process.
Another question to think about is if it is two chips, does the 768M transistor count imply that both chips have a total of 768m transistors, or does each chip have 768M tranistors on its own?
2x768M transistor chips = expensive
2x768M transistor chips = expensive

It looks like it will really have a 384bit memory bus. Count the number of memory chip soldering location you can see on the back of the card. 12 locations. 12x32bit = 384 bit.
The last G807 picture shows an unusual cable attached to the back of the card. I'm wondering if that is for an external power transformer.
