The Photos

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 2560x1920 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Sony DCS-F707 5.1 MegaPixel.

So here you can see the card we are putting through testing phases today. The GeForce GTX 280. The card comes with no less than 1GB of memory, and it surely a bulky product when it comes to size, sexy though.

Two times dual-link DVI supporting the highest resolutions. I wonder at what point in time we'll see HDMI or displayport embedded on the cards -- the board partners are hesitating so much. Graphics cards these days are getting pretty darn popular for HD playback through HTPC's. At GPU level everything is ready for both standards. This card is also Full HD compliant including HDCP protection.

The cooler is really efficient, yet it has to be, as there's a lot of heat to be moved away from that GPU for sure. The design ended up being dual-slot. Heat though, is exhausted outside the PC which is a great thing.

When we flip the card over we spot the backside cooling shim. Quite interesting to see how that has been taken care off.
