The EVGA model is based on nVdias reference design. To cool GPU, memory and voltage converters a dual-slot cooling solution is used which has two heatpipes and a 70 mm radial fan.

The card has a lenght of 28 cm and is therefore as long as it's bigger sister GTX 280. According to this complications when one installs the card in a small case can't be excluded.



Integrated into the slot plate one finds two Dual-Link DVI-I and a HDTV-7 connector. Vainly one is looking for a HDMI connector.
