Size does matter ! And it most certainly does for AMD-ATI ! Man that card is huge, it's almost the size of my ... ehm yeah sure.
VR-Zone has learned about some new details on 80nm R600 today and there will be 2 SKUs at launch; XTX and XT. There will be 2 versions of R600XTX; one is for OEM/SI and the other for retail. Both feature 1GB DDR4 memories on board but the OEM version is 12.4" long to be exact and the retail is 9.5" long. The above picture shows a 12.4" OEM version. The power consumption of the card is massive at 270W for 12" version and 240W for 9.5" version.

As for R600XT, it will have 512MB of GDDR3 memory onboard, 9.5" long and consumes 240W of power. Lastly, there is a cheaper R600XL SKU to be launched at a later date

I thought my X1950 Pro was big. Now I have video card envy.

Wow. I haven't seen cards that big since the 80's. You can tell ATI is from Texas...

Jesus Christ. 1Kw Power Supplies here we come! 270watts for XTX is insane power consumption. I want to see what the average power load is as I am sure that is peak power usage.

heh.. that's a mean looking card..by the looks of it most of it's size is from the copper heat sinks..

btw lookign at the ports if i'm correct that things support 1 svideo and TWO digital? correct me if i'm wrong

hehe it's delayed again!!!! LOL oh well I guess the power issues are really hitting home with DAMMIT....
