GTX 390

sweet a sandwich of dual gpu single pcb gtx295's

2x gtx295!


bet its a power hog that screams and is a driver nightmare.
 
Someone here at work forwarded it to like 5 people so I looked at it and was like sweet. but yeah if its an april fools joke, I guess its on me 🙁
 
nice april fool... well... if u try to get someone here to believe it, nice try... otherwise dont be dump and believe it yourself... lol...
 
I dindt say I believed it, I just said someone sent it to me and looked cool .I dont read czech so I had no idea what the article said, hence me posting it here. But yeah, I forgot how much people get into april fools jokes.
 
If that's an April fools joke, someone did a damn good job on the pics. The layout is very convincing. I see four 6-pin power connectors, a logical memory array, and a cooler with a very beefy fin arrangement. Even the heatpipes arrangement makes sense.

Someone please give details on how this is fake. Gotta know...!

well not that I can tell if those are actually 6 or 8 pin but four 6 pin connectors would not be enough to power that card. that would only add up to 375 watts with the 75 from the slot and that card is 2 gtx295s which each have a tdp of 289 watts. it would have to use at least three 8 pin and one 6 pin connector to safely power it.

The card has no DVI outputs...

that and the potential power consumption. While power consumption doesn't scale linearly with number of corse it doesn't stray far off either. 4X GTX cores would probably need more than a six and eight pin.

Yea I just noticed that. And the power.. now we're getting somewhere. Someone's got toooo much time on their hands!
 
You could hold your case up and point the exhaust like a flamethrower. Put it too close to a wall and there goes your house.
 
After looking very closely at the pics, this does look fake. Look at the thermal paste patterns of all four cores. The Top left pattern matches the bottom right, and the top right matches the bottom left. Someone did take great care to construct this image though.
 
i still think its real. you can see two hdmi ports on the backplate, and it has 4 6pin pcie. if you flip the cooler onto the bottom half, the thermal pads match perfectly.
 
It's an April fools joke! Why on earth would Nvidia release a 4 gpu, 500W behemont, with a price tag that probably no mortal is able to buy? Think about the scaling issues that 4 gpus would have and it's purely impossible to dissipate 500 watts of heat with an air cooler. Who did this drawing really struggled to make it as real as possible, but it's fake.

Not sure about that particular point. You're thinking too much from a gamer perspective. FireGL, Quadro, and NV Tesla come to mind, as far as things are too expensive for the average Joe to buy, but not for enterprise.

Yes, I was using only the gamer point of view. It's the only one I have.:laugh:

But still, I think it's impossible to cool that card, with that particular cooler. It doesn't have enough heat dissipation surface for that wattage, even if the fan will spin with 6000 rpm, the card will overheat at load.
