 BFG GeForce 9600 GT OCX and 8800 GT OCX review

BFG GeForce 8800 GT and 9600 GT OCX models

Two times dual-link DVI supporting very high resolutions. I wonder at what point in time we'll see HDMI embedded on the cards -- the board partners are hesitating so much. Graphics cards these days are getting pretty darn popular for HD playback through HTPC's. No HDMI adapter was included in the packaging btw - tsssk !

To your right notice the SLI finger. Two of these cards combined should be a pretty interesting sweet spot for performance versus cost. To the left, at the rear-end just like the reference model, the 6-pin power connector. Your mainboard can supply a maximum of 75 Watts over the PCIe slot, the card can peak towards 90 Watts. This is why the card needs an extra voltage rail in the circuitry; 6-pin power connectors are found on any modern power supply. If you don't have one, don't worry. XFX inserted a Molex to 6-pin converter for you in the package.

Now that's the money shot. Now, if that PCB had been black it would have been a notch more delicious to look at. I like LEDs, black colored PCB's and UV reflective items quite honestly. That is such cool stuff.
