First Working NVIDIA GF100 Video Card Pictured

NVIDIA's Senior PR Manager Brian Burke has uploaded the first picture of a working GF100 video card on the company's Facebook page. For those of you in the dark, GF100 is the codename for the first GeForce GPU based on NVIDIA's Fermi architecture. The card is running Unigine Corp's DX 11 "Heaven" benchmark on a Dell monitor. It seems as though NVIDIA is trying to reassure consumers that Fermi cards are on track for release early next year in light of last month's revelation that the Fermi Card used in Jen-Hsun Huang's presentation was a mock-up. Whatever stage of development Fermi is in, I think NVIDIA should be concerned with the recent launch of ATI's top-end behemoth, the 5970.

Zertz on November 19, 2009 11:32AM lol, I mean... it could be anything! It could a HD5000 card driving the benchmark, it could be an empty shell with a spinning fan... etc. Give us something worth looking at NVIDIA! reply to this

bilcliff on November 19, 2009 09:28PM i was thinking the same thing lol. just because its sitting in a motherboard with a monitor cable attached doesnt mean anything. that card could be going to a different monitor reply to this

XxHellxRaizerxX on November 19, 2009 12:56PM Even if the fan was spinning, wouldn't the picture show it motionless? reply to this

Zertz on November 19, 2009 02:21PM Depends on the camera's shutter speed (and the speed at which the fan was spinning) reply to this

XxHellxRaizerxX on November 19, 2009 04:20PM Yea but even the crappiest cameras (like those in phones) have a fast enough shutter speed for that. Just seems odd to me. reply to this

Zertz on November 19, 2009 08:53PM I just noticed... where's the CPU heatsink?... reply to this

tkrow21 on November 20, 2009 09:58AM I'm going out on a limb here, but it appears as if there's something inserted into one of the PCI slots that would obstruct your view and prevent you from seeing such heatsinks. :lol: reply to this
