Remember when I mentioned that Fermi being a shorter card would be totally feasible? It surely can be smaller than the desktop cards but the picture above is one of a dummy card.
See the PCI-e 6pins connector without any pins on the PCB? That was one indication but the card has plenty more problems like that one. The whole situation got so out of hand that an Nvidia Vice President admitted that the card was indeed a dummy. The real card? It's full of wires and module boards, not pretty things, but one I should still rather see.
What surprises me is that they wanted to generate hype but still allowed people to take close up pictures, therefore exposing the bluff. Epic. Fail.
