More and more photo's on GeForce GTX 470/480 surface on the web. Today we spot a GeForce GTX 480 all nekked to the bare bone PCB which reveals quite a lot of information really. When we look at the... More...
"For the GTX 480 we know that the reference design board is expected to have 1536 MB (1.5 GB) of memory. " Fixed.
what interface? they finally managed to get something out but we will get delays because they have no interface
some one posted on another site that it has a print on it showing the vendor, so not to give alway who leaked it it was covered.
Considering the number of things blacked-off, and the following; Why do I get a little bit of a hunch this is a redone GTX280 board?
Great, it looks like the fan is directly above the VRM's. It's a 5970 all over again (VRM's overheating).
People talk about how big this GPU is, but it looks no bigger from the 8800 GTX (from the heatspreader that is, the actual GPU may be a different story) GTX 470 8800 GTX
we know the actual die size, the heatspreader size doesn't really matter all that much GPU: die size, transistor count G80: 484 mm2, 681 million G92: 324 mm2, 754 million GT200: 576 mm2, 1400 million GT200b: 470 mm2, 1400 million fermi: 590 mm2, 3200 million RV870: 334 mm2, 2150 million fermi is the biggest GPU
true, the post was more of a post for another thread here, they measured the heatspearer size and were saying "WHOA!!" to it, and it just made no sense to me, as it seemed normal... lol However, 590mm2, compared to GT200 576mm2, isn't that big of a difference even so, so it's not like "OMG UBER CRAZY SIZE" like some people seem to be going on. lol
you can see it on this pic that the poster above posted, not sure what it means but I guess they wanted it hidden.
