Attendees of the Cebit show can stop by NVidia’s booth to see the latest Fermi-powered graphics card running in their booth. PCGamesHardware is there with pictures and details on what they’ve got running:
The dual slot card with the typical radial fan has two DVi and one HDMI output. The power supply is realized with one 8-pin and one 6-pin PCI Express power connector – just like the GTX 280. Although the air that was exhausted by the graphics card was warm, it wasn&’t noticeably hotter than the outgoing air of other high-end devices. The heat of the card is transferred from the heatsink via heatpies to aluminum fins. As usual there are two SLI connectors that make the card ready for 3-way SLI.
It’s worthwhile to note that the product sticker used was for a GTX375, not the GTX4xx series promised with the Fermi cards. They believe it’s not the ‘best of the best’ Fermi, to prevent leaks of benchmarks.
They also state that the pricing of the Geforce GTX4xx will be 300-400 € on the low-end, and 500-600€ ($800USD) on the high-end.

OMG
Nvida is a CEBIT with a card labeled as a GTX 375.
How embarrassing for the company
Production issues must still be running rampant.
IMHO Nvidia will launch the GTX 470 / 480 in very small quantities / very high prices / with terrible real world performance numbers and then myself and other tech enthusiastic will all purchase ATI’s.
People at Nvidia need to realize that they are an engineering company first and foremost, and if you cannot do that right, people need to get fired and reorganized.
Oh well looks like I will be shorting some NVDA stock to help me buy my new ATI card
