Cool the voltage regulators with that little hood extension over the back? I've got a 120mm fan blowing straight across the PCI-E slots from 3" away.

The voltage regulators should be cooled already by the stock cooler, unless someone screwed up on the design.

Leadtek said nothing of the sort.

Dear Editor

Do not believe what you read!

Some websites have posted news which is not correct. This leaked information has been misrepresented. It is only true that Foxconn will launch their own VGA cards. But it is NOT true that Leadtek have agreed a deal and will withdraw from the VGA market.

Please watch this space!

Kind regards

Is it just me, or do some of those heatsinks look like they've been photo-shopped or something? Especially the top one and the bottom one.

It wouldn't surprise me if they did, I remember the fake pictures the Inquirer posted about the 7 series' supposed capped 16-bit DX9 compliance.

Although, if that is really what the GTS's will look like I, I like it.

I can't see any tinkering. This is another view of the same card model from elsewhere on the 'net for comarison purposes. one more for luck.

Ah, cool. Thanks. It just looked weird on the Inquirer's site I guess.

I know what you mean josh. Those heatsinks look way too glossy - but it could just be really good photography I guess. I thought they were photo-shopped too.

The ones Gstanfor linked look right.

I can't believe they are bringing back those "dustbuster" fans. Seriously loud stuff if you ask me.

Just because it's a big cooling system, doesn't mean it will be loud....
