Props to forum old-timer Cowie for submitting this one. Chinese based Expreview got their hands on the much discussed single PCB based GeForce GTX 295 From Inno3D. It's a lot of info, courtesy of expreview of course:
Rumors on NVIDIA’s single-PCB reference GTX295 where unveiled in March, and Inno3D has is showing their GTX295 Platinum which is the first card to adopt single-PCB design.
The 'standard (if you can call it that) GTX 295 already had the honor of being the strongest 3D gaming graphics card as the GeForce GTX295 features two 55nm GT200 chips, 1792MB (896*2) GDDR3 memory, 896-bit (448*2) memory interface, 289W TDP, 1.4 billion*2 transistors, 240*2 stream processors, 80*2 Texture Map Units, 28*2 ROPs, and core/shader/memory clock of 576/1242/1998MHz.
This new single-PCB GTX295 keeps the same specs as before.
The previous version of GeForce GTX295 adopted dual-PCB design with PCB code P656, the new GTX295 will employ single-PCB design known as P658. The length of PCB board remains as 267mm, and the cooler sports dual slots and single fan. You’ll find the two GT200 chips on one side of PCB, and one NF200 and two NVIO2 chips are placed in the middle part.
Each GPU has 3-phase power supply, which means 6-phase power supply in total. Due to the limited space, Inno3D has used a DrMOS chip for this card.
Inno3D’s new GTX295 uses Hynix H5RS5223CFR NOC GDDR3 memory which actually works at 999MHz though the theoretic frequency is 1000MHz. The 14 DRAM chips build up 1792MB memory size.
BTW photo's showing up at this moment, tells me that we can expect a launch at Computex, or at least some demo's early next month. We've opend up a forum discussion thread on this release right here. What do you think, interesting or not ?
