The cards will be sold under the iChill product brand starting probably next week

NVIDIA is about to release graphics cards based on the Maxwell micro-architecture, the technology that was originally supposed to ship under the 800 Series moniker.

The green company has since decided that GeForce GTX 980 and 970 were better names for is new products and that GTX 900M would be a better name for the laptop line.

What we have to show you today is how NVIDIA's OEMs are preparing for the impending arrival of the video controllers. Well, one of the OEMs anyway.

Long story short, Inno3D has begun the countdown to the release of the iChill GeForce 900 series.

Not sure if the card in the photo is the GeForce GTX 980 or 970. Possibly both, since it shouldn't be hard to modify the apparently new 3-slot cooler to work on both.

Speaking of which, the cooler has 3 fans and is colored black with red stripes. That's all I can tell from the dark picture.

Better quality pictures will probably be released this week at some point. I guess that the 10 slapped on top of the image means we have 10 days to wait for the launch.

By all accounts, the video card will be a real beast. Only dual-GPU cards will be superior in performance or cooling demands.
