Hexus.net is trolling the halls of Cebit and found a product packaging box for an upcoming Fermi-based video card from an unlikely source, “Colorful”. Have to admit, I’ve never heard of them before, but the card boasts some interesting specs. Beyond the box, Hexus had this to add:
The rear outputs will comprise of twin dual-link DVI-I connectors and a mini-HDMI port (v1.3a). No provision for DisplayPort, then?
The power requirements are such that it needs more juice than twin 6-pin plugs can supply, and the setup is the same as a Radeon HD 5970's.
A chunky PSU is recommended, pitching in at 600W – 42A on the 12V line – for a single-GPU system. Add at least 250W for a second card.
See the box-side after the break with all of the “Minimum System Requirements” and “Key Features”.

the font style for the 600 is different from the rest of the information. further more there is no space between minimum and 600, so am I to assume this is a photoshop hoax? the 42 also looks different. i just want some reliable information for once (well I guess another week of waiting won’t hurt 😛
Do you think it will beat the hell out of HD5 series of ati? And 600 W? Wow… damn. 🙂
the carbureted V8 of graphics cards? lot’s of power, but the power consumption to match? it’s ok though, I admit I’m an Nvidia fan boy, and I’ll probably get it as soon as I can afford it 😛
