Seems to me as if it`s a version of a silent pipe with the ability to tap in the coolent.
Could just be looking at a mod of a gfx cooler and the card is nothing special. Can`t see any numbers clear enough to verify them, only the DV interface which is a standard.
Then again, give XMS/Kemp a G80 and the 2nd thing they`d do is take it apart
EDIT: 2nd look, the card is built for the cooler, and *think* there seems to be a buzzer type thing on the back ?!?! unclear. might just be a plastic cover for a fuzor.
EDIT2: any1 notice, if u compare the sizes of the outputs and multiply the scale of the card - that it seems to measure ~36cm long!

That looks like a pretty nice card. I would like to see it's benches and frequencies overclocked.

If you look closesly at the pictures it's actually two completely diffent heatsinks... The top pix with the barbs quite clearly shows through the smoke plastic a smaller fin area and the tube going across to both barbs whereas the lower pix have a bigger fin area and would be the air sinks. The top is using a heat exchanger idea like that crazy TT heat exchanger water block. If done right this is a great idea as GPU's pump out good heat in to the water and sometimes requires the use of a very large radiator to dispell the heat from both the CPU & GPU(S). This takes a bit of relief off of the radiator, again only if nVidia *did this right*. But from the pix it looks like the barbs are for some shiesty arse 1/4" tubes 
= not done right.
Edit: You'll also notice that the lower heatpipe thingy on the barbed card is copper whereas on the air card it's either aluminum plated copper or just aluminum.

From the information i have received...
They are 2 different cards.
The cooler with the barbs hanging out is the GTX version and is said only to be an experiment with the cooling though its optional to have either watercooled or air cooled when released.
The one without barbs (IIRC Picture 3), is the GT version
It is said to draw out 300w.

Deffo two different cards. Looks like they have 1gb onboard memory too. Most likely DDR4
Not sure nVidia would release a standard cooler that was a water cooler...but who knows?

Infact I think your right in that respect.
Just imagine the customer-service crisis on cards "meant to be wc" sold as-is. They would surely know they`re better off selling the card with a pipe/fan and voiding warranties if some1 decides to spray water all over it. >.<
For the same reason I wouldn`t imagine amd/intel selling a stock wc processor sink.

768Mb GDDR3 on the GTX, that's odd??? Well maybe not too odd, but still... I would have imagined the jump from 512 would have been right to 1gb. Guess I was wrong. Too bad no GDDR4
640Mb GDDR3 for the GTS too??? Why such wierd numbers? Might as well just stick with 512 if you ask me. Doesn't seem all that logical to give such an odd numbered boost when the performance gain really isn't in the amount of memory.
Strange strange strange I say! I guess my point is... we didn't see any vid cards come out with 384Mb of memory, just straight from 256mb to 512mb.
