Well there are plenty of R300 scores over 17k running overclocked GPUs. I guess the interesting question is how much headroom the NV30 has for overclocking.

ARRGGG....
You are right, the GFFx covers 2 PCI-slots. This card is really huge.
Look at the bright side: If you buy it, you can't afford a sound card anyway!
I'm a bit more concerned about the heat from this card. Add heat from the chipset and a top-of-the-line warm CPU and you will have to add fans to keep things decently cool.

Seems to be a decent score...... however, we have no idea just what it really means. I have not seen much about 3DMark that really equates to real life gaming....unless your idea of gaming means having the highest score in 3DMark. Lets just wait till we can compare the cards in real games with everything turned on. I have a feeling that the high end GFFX is going to beat the 9700Pro by10-15% on many things with nothing turned on, and by little to none with everything enabled. Remeber, that the score here is probably a setup to show the GFFX is the best of all possible light, which no suprise & is the way it should be......

if it's not, then it at least looks like it could end up potentially vibrating against the underside of any card you may wish to place, and that's gonna make a ton of noise in itself

I disagree..all heresay for the score.
Nothing to disagree about. It's fact.
Run a series of tests while adjusting core/memory speed on any modern videocard (8500, 9700 Pro, Ti4600) and on any modern system (P4-2.0ghz+ or XP2100+). Then restabilize the GPU/Memory and do the same for bus/cpu speed. The trend is immediately measurable.

KT333 which doesn't have near the bandwidth a Nforce 2 has and is good for 600+ marks alone and this score is very close to 17,000..what would this setup score on a Nforce 2 ?, a 2400 is 2.0 ghz stock, this is 2200..200mhz is not alot.
Now we don't have any EVIDENCE..heresay, we don't have LOD details, we don't even know if the CPU was overclocked.
If you can read anything at all into this score if true - isnt it what most expected? i.e faster than a 9700Pro but not enough to warrant any 'normal' 9700Pro owners to upgrade (AA + AF peformance tba).
Obviously tech freaks, developers, bedroom programmers, 3dmark freaks, nVidiots, people who haven't upgraded from there Gf2/RadeonDDR and people with money to burn who already own a 9700Pro will buy it - these are the same people who bought a V2 SLI, Gf2Ultra, Gf3 when first available!

At a Q&A session at Nordic Comdex, nVidia representatives where asked the following question (among others).
[NH]: What will the approximate price of the GFFX be, and when will it arrive on the market?
[nV]: The pricetag will be around 600 Euro. As the card only targets approx. 2% of the market, the price is justified by the exclusive nature of the product. At launch it will only be available in very limited quantities, and will target the enthusiast market. The first samples should arrive at the market at the end of February.
They also state that nVidia will introduce a new product at CeBit 2003.

That might be an issue of perspective, as BFG's specs only say one slot:

I only see one PCI slot covered and I have my glasses on...by looking at the other card shots you can see the FXcooler doesn't extend past the second backplate where the intake and exhaust is..
It's still a very large card though.

Bah.
And BTW the best 3DM2k1 scores up right now are 24k-ish. I want to see an FX beat THAT before I admit it's better than a 9700 Pro
It looks to me like a card in the 2nd PCI slot will fit, but it will be a very close fit. And the FX had better beat the best 9700 Pro scores. It's got much higher fillrate, and the default benchmark in 3DMark2k1 doesn't use any FSAA or anisotropic.

The 2nd PCI slot should be fine..
the first pci slot and the agp slot are shared, so they aren't counting that as a pci slot it is covering, i think they refer to the first useable pci slot that it covers, hence they can claim it just covers one pci slot
i want to see its aa and af performance badly, cause that is where it is going to count, with those features enabled
also, forgive me for getting slightly off topic it slips my mind right now, does the gffx have gamma correct aa like the r300 ?
