Yet another Nvidia GPU creeps out.
Yet another leaked Nvidia GPU is somewhere out there. This time it's the GF108 chip, which should be another variant of the Fermi family.
This picture, snapped and posted on XtremeSystems forums, shows an unblurred out version of the GF108, A1 revision. We gather that the card was seen in Hungary, given the forum poster's location and the 100 forint coin.
The die size measures an estimated 130 mm2 which may point to the GF108 being half of a GF106, possibly giving it 96 SPs. There are also four memory chips in the front, and possibly four more in the back for a 128-bit memory interface. Interestingly, the chips are DDR3, not DDR5, which could put this straight to the entry level.

Considering the number of shaders (96), and some improvement, I think that it probably matches the 128 shaders of the GTS 250.
He said half of gf106, not gf104... gf106 is rumored to be half of gf104 at 192 SP's, which would give gf108 1/4 the SP's of gf104.
ummm... not likely. Even if it supports surround gaming, the gf108 probably wouldn't be able to handle it very well.
Looks more like a crippled G92.
Dear ZOTAC, (open letter, here),
I just purchased two of your passive-cooled (silent/fanless) GT240 for my current prosumer edit build.
Now, even before I could slap this rig together, the "Baby FERMIs" are hitting the channel.
Question: What is the most powerful "Baby FERMI" that can be passively cooled?
I'll be watching the channel, for your reply.
