The two DVI ports support simultaneous HDCP and dual-link (meaning a possible resolutions up-to 2560 x 1600 with your bitching 30" monitor). This has been a possibility since NVIDIA's release of 65nm products and this is the second card in the series to boast this feature, others being incapable of the feat.

With the 7-pin HDTV-out mini-din, a user can plug an S-video cable directly into the connector, or use a dongle for YPrPb (component) or composite outputs. The prior 9-pin HDTV-out mini-din connector required a dongle to use S-video, YPrPb and composite outputs.

Love the black plating and gold colored DVI connector by the way.

At the rear end we stumble into the 6-pin power connector. As explained a couple of time already, the PCIe bus can not deliver enough current to the graphics card, and therefore you'll see a power connector feed straight from the power-supply.

The card itself has a pretty nice design, the X1 cooler is huge though and will eat up two slots. As you can see the residual heat is dumped at the bottom of the card, and thus dumped inside your PC, I'm not a fan of that especially for two-slot coolers. The flip side, it does do it's job really well though.

Last but most certainly not least the card photographed in our beefy test system, doing a good workout. Fabulous card people, even at such clocks we did not have one single stutter or hiccup, totally stable. Lovin' it.
