ABIT GeForce 3 Scoopage
Here is a bit of scoopage for all of you out there, Hexus.net managed to meet up with Abit TW in London this weekend and we got a sneak preview of there new card, the Siluro Geforce 3. Abit as they did with the MX400 range of cards held out and waited to develop a card which gives the performance which you guys want, a high speed card which can be overclocked card. They have come back with a card which out performs the Asus (Which in our eyes in the current best Geforce 3 on the market.) The card we got to look at was card number 1 from 6 which have been made. Hexus will have the first review of this card on the net so you read it here first.
Here is a shot of the card, it has standard Video out and then DVI output, with a VIVO card as standard. Notice the 3 part heatsinks.

Now something which you will all want to see some pictures.
Here is a shot of the VIVO card which is as standard on all of the Abit cards from now on.
Notice the new ram sinks these are different from the ones which are pictured on the Abit site, this is due to these new sinks being 30% better performance than the sinks they had on before.
Here is the back of the card.
Please excuse the wooden table the top secret location which we met up with Abit in can now be revealed ;-) In order to stop all of the spy's from other companies we decided to meet up with them in Pizza Express.
