Default A GT/Ultra Hybrid?! What IS this card?!

Hey, check out this card: http://www.gamerdesktops.com/images/card.jpg

What 6800 is it? Now lets consider everything:

> It has 2 molex inputs, only the Ultra and Asus GAMER EDITION 6800 have this.

> The fan is more like a GT/NU.

> It's far right side (where the molex inputs are) looks identical to an Ultra (chip placement, etc).

> It has AVI and DVI inputs, the GT/NU have these, the Ultra has 2 DVI's.

Here's a similar looking NU: http://www.nvnews.net/articles/gefo.../6800_front.jpg

And a GT: http://i24.ebayimg.com/02/i/02/17/a2/2f_1.JPG

And an Ultra: http://www.hothardware.com/reviews/.../card_angle.htm

At this point no one knows what that card is from the screenshot. A 6800NU with 2 molex inputs (maybe a 256MB version)? A GT with an extra molex input? An Ultra with an AVI input and different fan?

Has anyone in the industry, nVidia Engineer's, card reviews, ever seen this card? Is it an early refence or review card? What is it?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer!

Early GT reference sample, on the first Ultra PCB. I've seen a similar board (two DVI that time) in the past.

Ah, so it's not an Ultra, but a GT on an Ultra PCB? Would you have any idea if the reference cards are slower then the GT's currently available?

Every reference GT that I've seen has come clocked at 350/1000, like generic retail models. The pictures board should be no slower, unless it's a weird (which it already is) engineering sample. I'd bet on 350/1000 though.

Er, and is there a possibility that it's a 6800nu on a Ultra PCB?
