Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 PCB Blueprint Leaked?
Another Fermi readying up?
The GeForce GTX 460 is the Fermi that many of you were waiting for, and it was worth the wait. Nvidia isn't stopping there, however, as there are rumblings of a GeForce GTS 450 coming down the pipe.
Someone on the Chinese forum PCinlife posted a PCB design drawing of an unreleased and unannounced Nvidia card, which many believe is an upcoming GF106 chip.
Expreview notes that the front side can be equipped with 6 memory chips for 768MB. The card also appears to features 3+1 phase power design, a 6pin power connector, a SLI connector, and dual DVI+Mini-HDMI output. The site also notes that it'll also supposedly be released in August and card markers will be making up their own designs rather than following Nvidia's reference.

unknown_13 I think it will line up with the 5770. And yes, it seems promising.... continue the good work Nvidia, GF104 is a very good chip. Hope this will start price wars:)Reply -
rubix_1011 Just because a card has more onboard memory than another, doesn't mean its better or faster. It has a lot to do with the memory interface and how much actual rendering the GPU can complete. They market 'big RAM' on a video card so that people think the bargain deal is also in-line with great performance...not always the case.Reply -

Problem, is that in this case, the lack of VRAM DOES make a big difference.

with GTX460 the difference between the two is not the amount of VRAM alone, the 1GB version also have wider memory interface which is directly impact the total performance of the card. btw this GTS450 is a mainstream card so i personally think that people who are going to buy this card will play around 1600x900 and below
