In the network suddenly appeared some kind of picture cards, which most likely is the first real working model of 40 nm high GF100, based on the architecture of Fermi.

The picture shows clearly a system with GeForce accelerator and test Unigine Heaven DirectX 11, running on the 24 "Dell LCD monitor, this suggests that the test resolution is set to 1920x1200 pixels. Perhaps the system is assembled on a motherboard ASUS Rampage II Extreme LGA 1366, some CPU Core i7 and memory DDR3. Photographed specimen appears to be using an additional 8-pin power connector for PCI-Express on the left and right 6-pin, so after the acquisition of video enthusiasts Fermi hardly need urgently to change the PSU. It should be noted that in This engineering sample card using the recent audit of A2, but a number of sources insisted that the final audit will be A3.

Recently, the SC conference in 2009 (Super Computer Convention), nVidia has publicly demonstrated its first working samples of graphics processors, based on the architecture of Fermi. SC is an international conference on high performance computing, networking, storage and analysis of data. NVidia has shown high and quite expensive accelerators Tesla 20-series. As previously reported, Issue GPU Fermi, intended for HPC segment (ie, HPC), not expected until the second quarter of 2010. The appearance of the desktop versions Fermi, of course, in the family of GeForce, will likely appear soon after the passage CES 2010 (January 7-10), and their sales will begin in the first quarter of 2010.

Returning to the engineering model, it is worth noting its dual-slot cooler with a fan, support 3-Way SLI, there is at least one DVI output and the need for supplementary feeding after 8 - and 6-pin PCIe.Unfortunately, the test results are unknown, but given the presence of 512 nuclei CUDA, this graphics card should not have any problems running the test DX11.
