This is probably what the March 23-bound card looks like without a cooler

As the release of NVIDIA's fabled 28nm-based video card approaches, a leak has exposed what the product's PCB looks like.

We now know, with a reasonably low degree of doubt, that NVIDIA's first Kepler video board will be released on March 23.

What we have in the photo above is the printed circuit board, according to Chiphell.

Notice the five-phase VRM, the HDMI and DisplayPort connectors and the two DVI ports. Two SLI connectors, the GPU die and the memory are clearly visible as well, finally.

The photo also reveals that strange 8-pin + 6-pin stacked power connector we spotted yesterday, and we guess there will be cards with two 6-pin ports instead, or NVIDIA will choose one or the other.

This board is, in the end, just an engineering sample, so the final product may exhibit some differences.
