Jesus...wonder what the power supply requirments will be on this sucker (looks at 430W PSU sadly).

 

It says that it requires 270W for the OEM and 240W for the Retail. From what I've seen though apparently the 8800GTX was supposed to draw 220W but actually only drew 160W so we'll see what happens.

Okaaaaaaaaay... Here I thought the size of the GeForce 8800 was ridiculous. :ermm:

I would have to gut and restructure my case to get a hope of... no wait, still wouldn't work. My 7900 barely fit in here.

I can imagine trying to fit one normal card in my computer let alone this one or even two for quad crossfire.

It uses one 6-pin and one 8-PIN

 

8-pin? IIRC, there's no PSU on the market with an extra 8-pin :dancing:

Judging by my 6-pin card, wouldn't you hook up 2 4-pins?

That's how my 6-pin card works, 2 4-pins connect to it, with one of the pins on each missing. I had to buy two extra Y-cables. -.-

i can see a new form factor happening soon. it's getting to where you cannot fit your video card into a standard ATX case. grrr... i think they also need to come up with a standard for power, within the same region as the PCI-E connector. maybe like a piggy-back extension to the PCI-E bus connector. the inside of a case is getting hairy (of course, the switch to SATA has made some things easier).

comrade taks... just because.

Wait -- aren't you (partially) blind? :confused:

It's a braille 7900.
