Fermi-based GeForce GTX470 Pictured at CeBIT
NVIDIA has just showcased their Fermi-based GeForce GTX470 at CeBIT which opens today. Though it’s presented as a part of the running system, we can take a sneak peek.
Built with GF100-375-A3 GPU, the card has one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI Express power connector, and is cooled by one black all-cover heatsink. There’re two SLI connectors which are ready for 3-way SLI.
Equipped with dual DVI & HDMI output, the GTX470 looks quite mysterious still. The original site reports that the smaller version of the GeForce GTX4xx is expected to be priced about 300 to 400 Euros, while the top model will cost 500 to 600 Euros.

The PCB has a fanhole cutout. I’ve never seen that on a single PCB card. That probably means the card is really hot. The cutout will drive up PCB costs and makes trace routing more difficult.

And, why am I not surprised?

Having holes in the PCB != Card is hot. Might be for cooling or another purpose, but it’s definitely not defining the card’s temperature.

It means the fan can bring in air from the bottom as well, this is especially useful in sli configurations where the card has another one blocking its upperside
