heavy-and delayed 9800GX2
It looks like the new NVIDIA graphics cards not only beat the record “prądożerności.” By all indications on skies will be the harshest yet graphics cards offered on an open market. This information will not be pleased by the producers of finished computers. If the cards are really very serious, it will be a considerable problem.
With the experience we know that the card is able to gently during transport affect the integrity of the connector PCI-Express and this is not the same connector design defect but rather the old concept of mounting the cards. No one except would have thought that the installation of cards over time become so problematic.
“Kanapkowa” design a new card NVidia forces the use of a powerful new cooling, which must be weighed accordingly. Weight and potential violation of the motherboard or, at best, PCI-E slot, may prove problematic for OEMs. It is possible that they will have to devise a way to safely transport the finished computers. I wonder what you will find a solution for manufacturers of computers with the two GX2 cards in SLI GF9800;)
In light of these considerations, in fact, NVIDIA once again shifted the date of the premiere. The latest data on GX2 debut show on 18 March. Let us hope that this is the last change. There are signs that after the first “trials of Fire” card does not yield the results of the desired results.
