Tech Olive

So, Nvidia didn’t really announce the video card itself, but they did announce some details about the card and the technology that it uses. They didn’t reveal the name of the card, nor did they let anyone physically see the card (even though it was being used in a PC surrounded by a large crowd of hardcore geeks). They claim its their coolest and quietest card yet, thanks to their new vapor chamber cooling system. Trapped water within the chamber (a.k.a. heatsink) gets boiled by the heat dissipated from the GPU, which forces it to transfer heat away and then eventually cooling off and returning to the bottom again. This makes the card quieter than the GTX 285, according to Nvidia.

After they got the facts out of the way, they showed off some impressive tessellation demos, as well as the first public showing of Call of Duty: Black Ops PC gameplay. Watch the full 10-minute video after the break.
