Very nice!
Maybe we get some more information on cebit tomorrow...

I can't see any sign of the NVIO chip either.
Yes.
Which leads me to believe that Nvidia has included the 6pin auxiliar power connector just as a precaution to aid in stabilizing the card when under heavy loads.
A PCI-Express x16 slot provides 75W, so a 71W card could conceivably be powered from that single source alone.
Performance & power consumption, both are similar to 7950GT.
Arun said that G84 is the only chip with built-in NVIO.
Sigh, I see a dual-slot 8600 in those pictures ..
Both the cooler and the PCB of the MSI cards are non-standard.
Even the low profile card is unusual.
It has 4 memory chips on the front, hinting at a 128bit bus.
Yeah they are non-standard. What if most of the AIB partners decide to go with dual-slot if they feel single-slot would be just 'okay'.. (I dreaded this about 4-5 months back when G84 was confirmed to be 128b)
What i heard was that the 8600 GTS cooler is actually pretty quiet, nowhere near the ruckus of the old 7600 GT.
Well I dont know about the reference 7600GT cooler but the BFG one is anything but silent, I have it running in my rig.
(I heard eVGA & XFX have better coolers)Anyway, back to the 8600GTS. I can understand AIBs adding custom cooling solutions for OC versions but still they'd go from a (ref) dual-slot to a (cust.) dual-slot. Now this is going from (ref) single-slot to (cust.) dual-slot.

There are plenty of examples of that right now, with dual-slot models derivatives from 7900 GS/GT, X1950 Pro's, etc.
It's not news if some manufacturer wants to change the cooler to "bling it up" some more.
ASUS, MSI and Gigabyte are particularly good at it.
Agreed for X1950 but there arent a lot of dual slot 7900GS/GTs out there. Its a limitation to the AIBs.
I saw another OC edition in there thats single-slot, so I am feeling better now.
WTF?

FX57.net uses KHN's pictures without KHN's logo? Not bad...

As you can see, there is a small red button: You can activate higher clocks with it.
And the best thing is: Your PC is somewhere under your table and you can't reach it.
