NVIDIA allows partners to release video card with their own design, using the graphic processors GT200/GT200b. Today appeared the first printed-circuit board . The first producer of non reference GeForce GTX 260 was Galaxy.
Thus, here is the printed-circuit board:
Two six-pin power connector is placed on the edge of printed-circuit board, the power-supply system, 4 + 1, was placed more strictly, and it is compact. Fourteen memory microcircuits, which form 896 Mb volume and the 448 bits memory bus , were placed on one card side , in a semicircle near the graphic processor, which resembles to the arrangement of GeForce 9800 GTX+.
Besides the design, the new card differed from the standard GeForce GTX 260 in terms of clock frequencies, which were increased from typical 576/1242/1998 MHz to 625/1350/2100 MHz . This video card use GDDR3 memory from Samsung production with access time 1.0 ns.
The utilized graphic processor : GT200b, has the marking G200-103- B2, which indicates the use of 55 NM technological processes. Note the chip revision B2, instead of B3 in the two-chip GeForce GTX 295. Probably, this revision was completely operational, it was not characterized by moderate heat emission, and therefore it could not be used for the production Of GeForce GTX 295. The production date is the 36 week 2008, which corresponds to the last week of August. This again confirms rumors about NVIDIA which had available working models graphic processors GT200b still in summer. Related Products :
