the first card they show at CES do not have the heatpipe, so Charlie was may be right when he said they increase the TDP of 50 watts at the last momment

Well, the current rumour is that the GTX480 has a TDP of 295W, so if that's the case it definitely needs a hell of a heatsink.

If this stock heat sink is so big already are we gonna see two slot aftermarket coolers effectively making the card three slots wide?

This launch just reminds me more and more of the FX 5xxx series.
