On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 4272 x 2848 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Canon 450D - 12 MegaPixel.

Two GPUs, double memory configuration .. that's a lot of wires and components to mount into a PCB. As you can see, the card is long for sure. I measured it up and it's 27 CM in length. At the front we spot 2xDVI (dual-link thus two high-res monitors are supported) connectors. Obviously you'll receive a HDMI adapter as well which will be able to pass-trough 7.1 Channel lossless sound, too.

When we peek at it from the rear side we can see that length a tad better. It's quite a lot really. However don't get fooled, it's as long as NVIDIA's high-end cards, for example an GeForce GTX 280 is 27 Cm in length as well.

Did you guys already notice something different? That's right ... a black PCB. Traditionally ATI always used a red colored PCB, which quite frankly doesn't fit the high-end products really well. High-end PCs are often pimped up a bit. I really like the black aesthetics here, that is a very sexy look for the card.

The R700 has a metal plate across the back of the card just like the 3870 X2. Quit interesting, it also has RAM on the back as well.
