IS this the new ghost recon game? I can see the new logo at the back, but the SSS on that codpiece is really convincing. Fish meet water and all that. The shadows are also pretty good.
If it was going to be a 40nm part I could see them using an overclocked broadway xt (name is a coincidience or is it?
) as a base and if by any chance they could die shrink a base design like that to 32nm it would come somewhere between Broadway XT and Thames Pro at 28nm

Is it possible the devkits being underpowered in the beginning to meet some kind of thermal envelope in the first place so they got an underpowered card which met the guidelines like say a RV730XT?
Not trying to be a special guy or anything but what would be the value in doing something like that? secrecy?
