Has this been posted? If it has go ahead and lock it up.

 

[X98]

it has been posted Pi times

love the ref cooler, slick and clean

 

[nitromullet]

We really should have a "spy pics" thread. I posted these in another, but they probably belong here.

 

[Soccerman06]

Ill believe it when I see it, too many fake rumors out and about right now.

 

[AznAnarchy99]

Ive never seen the point of these pics unless there was a huge change.. It looks like any other video card.

The TDP seems a bit suspect...

 

[Gloomy]

The TDP seems a bit suspect...

How so?

 

[lehtv]

Because NVIDIA. GTX580 was 250W, GTX 480 was 250W

 

[Steelski]

Because NVIDIA. GTX580 was 250W, GTX 480 was 250W

return of the ULTRA?

 

[d3fu5i0n]

If those specifications are true/real, I'm sure we'll see a lot from this GPU.
Either way, bad or good, many of us are excited to see what happens.

 

[BFG10K]

The TDP seems a bit suspect...

With two 6-pin connectors they must stay under 225W.

 

[Meaker10]

This chip is the direct successor to the GTX560ti so why does this TDP surprise you?

Could have been named 660TI, imo. But it didn't happen?

 

[Meaker10]

Nope they did not because Nvidia won't have a 680 any time soon in that case.

But we knew where THIS chip was originally targetted so again, we knew what TDP range it was going to fall under.

You can clock and overvolt the 7870 and it still uses less power than a 6870, so it's no surprise that even if Nvidia are being aggressive with the clocks that it wont need masses more power connectivity.

something about being 25% faster than 7970:

New AA?

I assume people have seen this:

I'm pretty confident that these numbers are correct. It wouldn't take much for Nvidia to counter the 7970, which was only 20% faster than the GTX580.

Edit: a few people below suggest this is a fake. But if this is indeed around $500-600, it better have performance like this.

 

[Meaker10]

The only thing being, if nvidia are squeezing this chip as much as possible how much left does it have for enthusiasts to tweak? How will it compete with factory overclocked cards?

New AA?

Thanks, curious what that is.

 

[Leadbox]

New AA?

Is that really 8x MSAA on the left :|

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Is that really 8x MSAA on the left :|

Looks more like no AA to me.

 

[Will Robinson]

You could walk up those jaggies in that nasty ass pic on the left...:hmm:
Nothing looks that bad with 8xMSAA surely?
Can't wait to see real NVDA released pics of Kepler mark1 and how it performs.:thumbsup:

 

[Meaker10]

That looks like a texture, so AA around the edges of the object but not on the texture.

The games listed are also ones Nvidia typically do better in as well.

 

[skipsneeky2]

If this isn't the high end counterpart,i am gonna be shocked,gtx580 has a third of the cuda cores,perhaps a card that will destroy the 7970 when it comes down to stuff like aa,msaa?

It's tdp is a interesting factor it is considerably lower then the gtx580,but higher then the gtx560 ti.

While no bandwidth specs have been posted i have seen rumors of basically the same bandwidth as the gtx580,but i guess nvidia may very well milk the most performance out of this efficient design making it look like a gtx480 when sized up.

Can't wait to see what this thing can do.:biggrin:

 

[BallaTheFeared]

Well, CUDA cores are only one part of the equation, there are many other factors that affect a GPU's overall performance.

That said, there is no way these are 1:1 as powerful as previous CUDA cores as the shader power would be insane and would probably hit 150+ GTexel/s..
