NVIDIA Teases Next Flagship Video Card
by Ryan Smith on March 22, 2011 9:00 AM ESTAs many of you no doubt suspect, NVIDIA is in fact getting ready to launch their next flagship video card. The NDA does not expire for another 48 hours (March 24th at 6am PDT), but in an effort to build up suspense NVIDIA has gone ahead and posted a very brief teaser video about the card and when the NDA expires.
We'll have more in a couple of days, so stay tuned.

So essentially, a significantly downclocked (160MHz core, 320MHz shader, 588MHz RAM)) pair of 580s. At stock speeds, two 570s should theoretically outpace this, though at super high resolutions and detail levels, the new card may get a leg-up on its SLi competition due to the extra memory.I can't see it being competitive with the 6990, but we'll see in two days. Perhaps NVIDIA don't want to compete directly, and only want a killer solution at a particular price point. Looking forward to the reviews.

He said they spent 2 years on it... 2 years to put SLI on a single card?medi01 - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - link
Does one have to always speak truth, in particular when it's about marketing? ;)silverblue - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - link
...the card is positioned diagonally inside that box. :)Gami - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - link
so, it'll take up 6 slots?silverblue - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - link
Meaning it's too long for the box, so it has to be positioned diagonally to fit. The box doesn't look amazingly long, and yet quite a bit too tall, to fit a 11-12" card.Maybe NVIDIA have something very special/innovative in store.

Or it could just be an empty box, nothing more then a prop.tincart - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - link
That's not a box. That's the video card.MrSpadge - Tuesday, March 22, 2011 - link
