Arctic Cooling style

By the looks of the pictures posted at Expreview.com, Inno3D is preparing a new card that will be a part of its iChill series, the iChill GTX 280.

The new card will use Arctic Cooling's Accelero Xtreme VGA cooler that has five copper heatpipes and three 80mm fans that spin from 700 to 2000RPM. The card itself is a basic GTX 280, as it has 1GB of GDDR3 memory paired up with a 512-bit memory interface, 240 processing cores, support for DirectX 10, PhysX and triple-SLI.

Despite the use of large Arctic Cooling Accelero cooling on this card, the rumored specs are the same as on the reference GTX 280 card, 602Mz for the core, 1,286MHz for shaders and 2,214MHz for the memory.

We are quite sure that this card can do much more and that it has a decent overclocking capability due to the size and the looks of this cooler. Unfortunately, the Expreview post didn't include the price or the availability date, but this one might show up at CES.
