Nvidia G80

Some interesting images have come about that show us the first look of Nvidia's new monster known as the G80. Not much is known about this chip other than the fact that it will outperform a single GX2. We don't know if there will be an option for air-cooling, but we know for a fact this one is water cooled and it uses 2 PCI Power adapters.... this beast better be one heck of a Graphics card if it is sporting theses features.
* Unified Shader Architecture
* Support FP16 HDR+MSAA
* Support GDDR4 memories
* Close to 700M transistors (G71 - 278M / G70 - 302M)
* New AA mode : VCAA
* Core clock scalable up to 1.5GHz
* Shader Peformance : 2x Pixel / 12x Vertex over G71 (48 pixel and 96 vertex *)
* 8 TCPs & 128 stream processors
* Much more efficient than traditional architecture
* 384-bit memory interface (256-bit+128-bit)
* 768MB memory size (512MB+256MB)
* Two models at launch : GeForce 8800GTX and GeForce 8800GT
* GeForce 8800GTX : 7 TCPs chip, 384-bit memory interface, hybrid water/fan cooler, water cooling for overclocking. US$649
* GeForce 8800GT : 6 TCPs chip, 320-bit (256-bit + 64-bit) memory interface, fan cooler. US$449-499

that thing probably costs more than the high end quadro fx's....especially since its watercooled.
If so, do they also plan to release it late November?
I'm curious about the power consumption of this card. Obviously it will draw more power than the 7800 series since it is 90nm and most definitely a larger core. GDDR4 should help, but there is more memory to offset that savings. With any luck it may not exceed the draw of an X1900.
I believe it is 26 cm for the GTS version and 28 cm for the GTX version.
And I have just bought a new case for my new rig.
It is an Antec P160W
Furthermore since I have lost my slide ruler, I wrote Antec regarding the available space in that particular case.
Consider me lucky, here is what the nice Antec supporter had to say: That's what I call a tight fit.
I did recently buy a very old school full size case that I know will hold these bad boys so when I am ready to sport some of these bad boy's I can I had one of these cases when I had a few of my Voodoo's that where much bigger than the 8800GTX. Its to bad you can't buy these cases retail anymore
these are real 'bad boys' aren't they?
