Besides some photographs of the 512 SP GeForce GTX 480, Asian tech site Expreview also got its hands on some shots of the GeForce GTS 450. Compared to the other Fermi chips the GF106 GPU has a smaller die, with side lengths of around 15.2mm and 15.7mm. The performance is expected to be similar to the GeForce GTX 260, making the card a rival to AMD's Radeon HD 5770.
The GF106 appears to be small, with a side length of only 15.2-15.7mm. The chip is marked as “GF106-250-KA-A1″.

According to the original site, two other lower-end models will be also based on GF106 – GTS 445 and GTS 440. Besides, there will be no reference design for GTS 450, which means the AICs are going to allowed to design.
