Overclocking card or CUDA beast on the cheap?
I guess both. The slides are pretty much self explanatory: the card is very similar to the GTX 260 Lightning.
Besides the obvious gaming applications for such a card, there's hints of a CUDA machine with this one. The big frame buffer of 1792MB will run a good amount of CUDA capable applications without breaking the bank - Tesla cards with 4GB go up to $1300 and the others only have the usual 896MB, not enough for some professional applications.
The high quality components should ensure a long lifespan for this card, even when running full steam 24/7, but it's expected to be priced in the $300 range, possibly a bit more - it's the big downside.
