1) They have confirmed their new mid-range 6800 card, the GT, will be clocked at 350 / 1000Mhz and will feature a single-slot cooling solution, a single power connector and a mere 300W PSU requirement.

2) If you’re counting on HDTV working on your spanky new 6800, you’re out of luck: it has been confirmed this morning by Derek Perez of NVIDIA that the both the core and the existing reference board have no capacity to support an HDTV signal – though it is planned for the future NV43 & NV41 cores. If you are hoping a third party vendor is going to slap a discrete chip on there, you are likely to be disappointed because as far as we know no vendors are straying from the reference design.
