PICTURES: GeForce GTX 480 Stripped Apart
What hides beneath that massive card cooler of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 480? Check out these disassembly pictures.
We're just days away from the official unveiling of Nvidia's first Fermi-based GF100 GPUs. Some of those living down under at Australia-based Atomic MPC, however, seem to have gotten their hands on a sample and have taken it apart. Thankfully, there are pictures, and we've selected a few to show you.
Check out the full gallery of disassembly pictures at Atomic MPC.

IMO This card is going to be power hungry, VERY HOT, and under performing. Why?? I've been building custom water based gaming rigs for well over 10 years now, EVERY card with the exception of this one, regardless of ATI or Nvidia has some level of benchmarking done on it before launch, so far I've seen one screen shot on some random pc on what it can do...
Yet we are 2 days away from this being launched after weeks/months of negative "rumors" about how the yield at mfg is 5-25%, still I haven't seen a single valid benchmark on this card. I'm getting the feeling that Nvidia knows they have over hyped this new GPU and are hoping that ATI will not drop prices once this new card drops.
Time will tell, however I held onto my GTX 295 for over a year, selling it used on ebay and making more than the cost of my new 5870, which IMO runs 80% cooler and at the same or close to the same speeds.
Im puzzled! how do Nvidia expect to sell this GPU to the masses when they dont give any information on its capabilities!
Instead they show worthless images of what it looks like when you take it apart? NOT INTERESTED!!!!

"brand loyalty", i.e. fanbois.
Selective memory's guys ? This is usual they call it a NDA. There was nothing concrete on teh 5770 untill launch day either.

Makes me wonder about overheating issues aswell looking at the card layout. My concern is the gddr modules aranged so closely to the hot gpu core.
