Photo gallery - The Card

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.

As always we start with packaging so you know what to look for or recognize in the stores.

So here you can see the card we are putting through testing phases today. The GeForce GTX 280. The card comes with no less than 1GB of memory, and it surely a bulky product when it comes to size, but it's sexy though. I'm afraid the sticker on the OCX product is a little flashy and taints the nice black design a little. Well, that's a matter of taste though.

The cooler is really efficient, yet it has to be, as there's a lot of heat to be moved away from that GPU for sure. The design ended up being dual-slot. Heat though, is exhausted outside the PC which is a great thing.

Two times dual-link DVI supporting the highest resolutions. This card is also Full HD compliant including HDCP protection. BFG will include a HDMI converter cable, SPDIF cable for PC sound over HDMI towards the telly, and an actual HDMI cable. Good stuff. At the rear side we can see wthe backside cooling shim. Quite interesting to see how that has been taken care off.
