Nvidia May Prep a New Graphics Board with Fully-Fledged GF100 Chip

When Nvidia Corp. unveiled its Fermi architecture first in September, 2009, the firm said that the top-of-the-range offering will include 512 stream processors. However, it released no actual products on the fully-fledged chip. On Wednesday a web-site published a picture of a graphics card that it claims to be powered by the code-named GF100 graphics chip with all 512 stream processors activated.

The graphics solution resembles the original GeForce GTX 480, which comes with 480 stream processors activated, but has tangibly improved power supply circuitry and consumes much more power as it is equipped with two PCIe 8-pin power connectors (together with PCIe x16 slot they can provide up to 375W of power).
