That card is fake. It has wood screws, the cooling vents and power connectors are covered and the card is crudely truncated.

Also the date and number on the card confirm Charlie's earlier leaks on when it taped out and the fact there are only nine working parts from the first batch.

You won't see much benefit over GTX260 SLI, stick with them. Though it will consume a lot less power and be quieter at idle and load.

Mock up? Yes, clearly.

Wood screws? NO!

But still, shame on nVidia for not showing off what is effectively a stupidly expensive and rare card ATM and for not letting journos filthy mitts all over it.
