gtx 380 x2 video?

I didn't know they announced a gtx380 x2 part? Did they?

yes there will certainly be a dual gpu part to compete with the 5970. it probably wont be released with the other cards though since its much more necessary to get the single gpu cards out. my guess is that the gtx380 will be about 20-25% faster than a 5870, a gtx360 will be 5-10% faster than a 5870, and then the gtx390, which will probably be two gtx360 gpus, will be about 10-15% faster than a 5970.

of those are just guesses but if power consumption and yields are not a problem then it should not be too far off. one advantage that Nvidia has is that they can tailor Fermi to beat the 5800/5900 cards at the same prices points since they already know exactly how they perform.
 
LOL! Yeah, because this is real!

Lack of power sufficient power regulation components, and memory is all on back with no evidence of where on the front? Someone with board knowledge look at that thing plz.

the video is not of the actual gtx380 card you know? its just some fake crap on youtube. also that certainly looks like the gtx295 in the bare pics.
 
I'm more amused with the 2000fps in crysis.... That is quite the pixel pushing power...

Any who.. I have no doubt there will be a dual core card.. they have smart folks at nvidia. They will find some silly way to get under power specs... Though I'd have to assume if they release something that breaks the 300W limit at stock we will see the HD5999 with two 8-pin and two 5870 cores at 1ghz each rather shortly after.

In any event it will not be out until well into the summer I'd think.. I'm rather curious how they'd pull it off without a node shrink unless Fermi surprises the hell out of me in power consumption.

That is such an obvious photochop... I posted the screen caps for humor, not debate. 🙂

- The gpus are pasted right over the RAM chips. You can the RAM chips poking out.
- You can see where the original mounting holes for the HSF were above the PCIe connector before they started chopping.

Indeed. It's not even game play either, but a cut scene.
 
The video shows a 6 pin and 8 pin power connector around the :23 mark. The pics I've seen on the single GPU Fermi look to have two 8 pin power connectors... so unless Nvidia managed to add another GPU, more PCB components, more ram, etc. and lower the power consumption, I'm going to guess this is fake (as others have pointed out).

But can Nvidia do it? I guess we'll have to wait. 🙂 Rumors are all over the place for the single GPU Fermi powered part. If the ~225 watt rumor for a single Fermi GPU powered card turns out to be true, Nvidia will have to pull of some engineering magic to make it work I'd think. But that rumor being true is a big 'if' at this point.

not one single pic of Fermi has shown two 8 pin connectors being used. they have all been a 6 and 8 pin.

Yes I know, was simply hoping someone would take time (as nitro did) to tell us why it was fake crap.
 
360 x2, maybe... 380 x2, not until a die shrink.

Rumors that HPC server rejected the "380" 512 sp because it was 300W TPD. Thats why tesla was castraded to 448 sp and lower clocks to fit the thermal requirements of 225W.

So a 360 having 448 sp and lower clocks, yeah, maybe you could squeeze 2 onto a PCB and work some magic to get them below 300W.

This looks like 2 8 pin connenctors to me, maybe I'm seeing things wrong? The picture isn't super high res, maybe I'm just not seeing it correctly...?

It looks like 2 8 pin connenctors to me, though.

*edit - Maybe that is a 6 pin, the more I look at it the less wide it is. But it looked like 4 sets of wires to me, but it could be one of those cables that relays a second connector... I'm not completely sure now, but it could very well be a 6 pin connector after all. My bad guys.

Any shipping card would be 6+8. That's good for 300W, and there is no ATX standard above that. It's probably for pre-production evaluation purposes, just like the 5970 has the solder joints for 8+8.

but that doesnt even have dual 8 pins in the first place. really I can clearly see that is a 6 and 8 pin.

I have a hard time telling from that specific shot myself. I'm just saying that even if it does, a production card would not be like that.
 
20 pages of garbage is better than 20 pages x 2 0r 3 of garbage.

Actually I find this stuff interesting.
