As the launch draws near, NVIDIA's partners are busy readying retail boxes.
One such partner - and we confess that the name hadn't crossed our radar too many times before - is Colorful.
NVIDIA remains tight-lipped over the card's specifications, but we can confirm from the box that it will have 1,536MB of GDDR5 memory.
The rear outputs will comprise of twin dual-link DVI-I connectors and a mini-HDMI port (v1.3a). No provision for DisplayPort, then?
The power requirements are such that it needs more juice than twin 6-pin plugs can supply, and the setup is the same as a Radeon HD 5970's.
A chunky PSU is recommended, pitching in at 600W - 42A on the 12V line - for a single-GPU system. Add at least 250W for a second card.
Now all we need is a card to test NVIDIA's claims of upcoming high-end graphics hegemony.
