Inno3D has already introduced graphics cards based on NVIDIA's reference GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 470 designs, but it apparently also has something a little different in store for the latter.
The Hong Kong-based manufacturer has been showing off pictures of what's believed to be a custom GeForce GTX 470 - but we'll pass the question to our readers, can you tell the difference between this and NVIDIA's reference design?
If you're seeing what we're seeing, you've probably identified the one obvious change - the PCB has gone from black to green.
Take a look at the next shot, and you should see a change in the heatsink design, too.
See it? For reasons unknown to us, it looks as though Inno3D has altered the cooler to feature only four heatpipes. NVIDIA's original design actually features five - we've even ripped a GeForce GTX 470 open to be sure.
It's unlikely to be for cost-cutting reasons, and it's not as though the GeForce GTX 470 doesn't need masses of cooling capacity.
Call us pessimistic, but we're not sure how this one's going to work. We'll be happy to see Inno3D prove us wrong, mind you.
