Want to know what NVIDIA’s G80 card will look like? These pictures have been verified to be one of the upcoming models of NVIDIA’s next-gen GPU. Note the two six-pin power connectors and water cooler on one of the cards seems to still be prototype. This goes a long ways to confirm all of the 300 watt consumption rumors that have been circulating. Thanks to Joey R. for the pictures.

It looks like they're using aluminum heatsinks...

I think the cards are supposed to go down in power consumption later on or something.

yeah, im getting a 700w with my next upgrade...shouldnt be an issue...and the power will come down as the design gets more refined...a friend of mine who works at intel did some of the power management and whatnot for conroe...said at first it was crazy-high...i bet itll end up being something like 120-140w.
