Neoseeker has published a review of Gigabyte's passively cooled 7600GS with HDMI output
Nvidia's reference design made it possible for a passive cooler to exist on regular 7600 GS since core clock speeds were set at a relatively low 400 Mhz, but Gigabyte decided to bump up their core speed to 450 Mhz. The 600 GS also sports 5 vertex shaders, 12 pixel shaders and 12 texture units. The increase in speed is relatively minor, so while it will help a bit with framerates during gaming, it isn't high enough to overload the passive cooler. It does make it hot though which I'll get to later. For the RAM on this board, Gigabyte used Hynix DDR2 memory chips rated for 2.5ns which run at 800Mhz and do not have much room for overclocking.Gigabyte 7600GS w/ HDMI Review
NVIDIA G80 - Foxconn GeForce 8800 GTX Review
Elite Bastards has posted a brief performance preview of Foxconn's GeForce 8800 GTX
We may as well kick things off with a simple fact - The G80 core which powers the GeForce 8800 is huge. Built on TSMC's 90 nanometre process, G80 consists of a whopping 681 million transistors, substantially more than even Intel's recently released Core 2 Quad CPUs. Of course, this kind of transistor count on what is now a pretty mature manufacturing process means a big (and thus expensive) die underneath the heatspreader which houses the core and helps to output heat from the GPU to its hefty cooling system.NVIDIA G80 - Foxconn GeForce 8800 GTX Review
The sheer size and complexity of G80 probably goes a long way to explaining the inclusion of a separate daughter die on GeForce 8800 boards, dubbed NVIO. As the name might suggest, this die handles input and output for the graphics board, which covers everything from inter-GPU communication via the normal SLI connectors used by NVIDIA to any and all display output and input from the board. Naturally this includes both TV out and video-in, as well as the two HDCP capable dual-link DVI connectors found as standard on all GeForce 8800 boards.
