Nvidia's worst kept secret the NV40 is going to be released soon, and images of the card have revealed some more than interesting tidbits. -Dual DVI out -Has two molex connecters, one of which requires a dedicated power rail (Sweet Jesus!) -16 pipelines @ 210 millions of transistors -Makes an ATI 9800 Pro look like an old piece of [censored]. The graphic wars are heating up again, and with Nvidia winning the race with ATI, there's going to be some very interesting developments. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.darkminds.com/hosting/images/6800_ultra_f_3qtr_vert.jpg)

Here's a new pic showing off the mysterious connector in the back. ![[Linked Image]](http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/6483/Nv40.jpg) Edit: Unlike the first image, this pic shows its actually a thin heatsink for part of the power supply, and not actually a connector.

im still running on RADEON 9600 XT's in 2 machines, and the third has the 9200 SE, but i see some of the newer stuff their coming out with, and even tho it doesn't look so amazing, i bet it will contend with the best nVidia has to offer, i just find ATI can keep their secrets better, and can usaully pull something special out when the chips are down.

ya I'm an ati man, and i too am waiting for ati to up the ante. although definitely not pleased about the separate power rail, god knows how hot those things must run.

My next PC i'm unsure what video card i'm going to go with, but I know it'll at least be the ATI 9800 with a zalman heatpipe as well (though it'll have to use the extra zalman cooler but I buy that anyway). Grab a 6600GT, I picked one up a month ago and I couldn't be happier. It's quite a bit more powerful than a 9800 XT, overclocks like a champ, and is cheaper than a 9800 pro. It's a next gen card that isn't too expencive, and is more loaded with featuers than anything ATI has on the market (pixel shader 3.0, 16x aa, etc)
