When it’s an achievement to find NVIDIA’s current generation of graphics cards in stock you quickly realized how hard it must be to find the next generation Fermi architecture. It wasn’t that long ago NVIDIA has trouble coming up with a functional card, but now two of them have been pictured running SLI. It’s NVIDIA that has released the pictures via Twitter where they refer to the cards as GF100.
The pictures shows VP of marketing Tom Peterson holding a system from Maingear where you see two Fermi graphics cards sporting no less than 3 billion transistors each, and that’s just the graphics circuits.
According to NVIDIA the GF100 cards are around 26.5 centimeters (10.5″), which is the same as the current GeForce GTX 285 but shorter than AMD’s Radeon HD 5870 (and that’s a good thing).
This is of course just a way to show the public that it is coming along with the development of Fermi, but there is still a long way to go before we will see any cards in stores.
