Version beta 1.1.3
Nvidia Geforce GTX 280 in action

The card uses the GT200 codename, and is 65nm and as you can see it has 32ROPs, a blazing 240 Shaders and, of course, it does support only DirectX 10, not the 10.1. Nvidia simply doesn’t like DirectX 10.1 and that’s it.At the same time, the GTX 280 card works at 600MHz, memory works at 1100MHz (2200MHz effectively) while Shaders are happy at the 1300MHz clock speed.
With a 512-bit bus Nvidia can do 141.7GB/s, which is quite a lot of bandwidth for this 1024MB GDDR3 powered card. The card itself reminds us of an advanced Geforce 9800 GTX designed card with GX2 finish touch, but we've promised that we won't take pictures. People get upset when we take pictures of unannounced cards, as if they are an inappropriately dressed Britney Spears, so we didn’t take any.
Here is the screenshot.
