While it does not feature two fans, Gigabyte's newest Geforce GTX 970 Twin-Turbo graphics card does use a custom design with shorter PCB and a blower-style cooler.

While the name of the new Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 Twin-Turbo graphics card (GV-N970TTOC-4GD) might suggest that it features two fans, this is not the case as it uses a blower-style cooler which pushes the air across the PCB and out of the case, while Twin-Turbo means that it takes air from both sides of the cooler, thanks to a short custom GTX 970 PCB.

Despite using a shorter PCB, the Gigabyte GTX 970 Twin-Turbo features a factor-overclock which sets the GPU at 1101MHz for the GPU base and 1241MHz for the GPU Boost clocks while 4GB of GDDR5 memory remained at reference 7012MHz. The same graphics card will be also available in a non-OC version, working at 1076MHz for the GPU base and 1216MHz for the GPU Boost clocks.

The custom PCB pulls power from a single 8-pin PCI-Express power connector and the graphics card comes with three DisplayPort 1.2, one HDMI and one DVI display outputs.

You can expect both to be available soon with a price set at around US $300 for the non-OC and a tad bit more for the OC version.
