if so, be good to see they sorted out the abysmal blower to an extent.

Wait and see. 8h10m to go.

Just magnificent. I am salivating...
8 hours to go. Hours are looooooonnnnggggggggg

B-but the GEFORCE RTX logo on the side is upside down? Fake news?

Wow this shot is pretty.

Looks nice but why would they go with a dual fan design when the Titan V and Quadro don't require two fans to cool those cards adequately?

For me, it's now confirmed that everything shown so far was fake.
If the coolers are actually positioned this way (which I wondered my entire life why they weren't turned up as default since the 6800gt Era), all we've seen were mere speculation.
This cooler positioning means the chip and all of the other stuff are on the "backside" of the PCB.
Since gpus became a decorative piece on gaming PCs, I have always thought /tried to turn it in ways that I can actually show it off at first sight.
Looks like Nvidia was thinking much like me.

BTW... This is what I call "reverse engineering" 😀

Wait.
It got me thinking now...
For AMD systems, no problem. Can't really say the same for most Intel boards.
AMD's first PCIx slots are x1, the x16 coming right below. On most Intel boards you'll be forced to use the second x16 slot, which in the vast majority, is limited to X8.

For Motherboards, i would go through the history, starting with AT. Just see how far we have come since the Socket 5, Super Socket 7 (Yaaaaaaaay), and up to todays sockets.
edit : Was being too harsh, changed crap to "Negative Knowledge".
PCI Express cards are a standard. They are all built the same way for a very good reason (hint : Compatibility).
Just deciding to go against EVERY other manufacturer out there, and put all of your Chips and cooling on the backside, would not only relieve you of your PCIExpress certification, You'd automatically lose one slot on your motherboard.
Seriously, either look up about the PCI Express specifications, and card specifications, or Google it.
Also, if you hadn't realized by now, its up to the motherboard manufacturers to put what slots where they want. Any make of motherboard could have a x1 or a x16, or anything in between, as a first slot.
If all the AMD mobo's you have seen have a x1 slot first, thats a coincidence. 😉
I'm sorry to sound all negative and all, but the "negative knowledge" you just posted should not have been posted. Seriously read up a bit more about the PCI Express, and Motherboard technologies.
Teach yourself 🙂 You'll learn better.

People on Nvidia sub were saying the TDP is going to be 280w because you get +30w from the VR Link connector. Doesn't make sense to me that would affect the thermal design power of the GPU but I figured I'd toss that out there.

Hmm... if the Founders Edition has dual fans, it means its hot which will be "hot fix" by Nvidia probably next year so... coming from a 1070 FE, I think its safe to skip this series and wait for the next one.

5 minutes of gaming. Perhaps they just wanted to avoid that for good?
The Pascal FE series would throttle after like
