WHO WOULD’VE BELIEVED that Nvidia was willing create an exclusive card with one of its partners that would only go on sale in a single country. Well, it’s true and we have sourced proof from the exclusive online retailer that will be selling these very rare cards.
The design of the XFX GeForce Fermin as the card will be called is somewhat unusual as it’s using a quad stacked design. This is apparently only intended for serious overclockers who run their graphics cards on the “bench” so to speak, as it won’t fit into a normal ATX chassis. Nvidia and XFX have pulled out all the stops here to create something truly unique for the hardcore overclockers.
The so far unspecified GPU is clocked at what appears to be a fairly slow 666MHz, but this custom chip from Nvidia has no less than 666 stream processors (also known as shaders) which should allow it to beat just about any card on the market when it comes to GPGPU performance, although with that many shaders we’d expect the card to perform extremely well in most games. The GPU has been paired up with 4GB of GDDR5 memory using a 666-bit bus and the memory operates on a 666MHz quad pumped bus which results in the equivalent data rate of 2,664MHz, which blows the competition away.
