Photos of Gigabyte's new GeForce GTX 670 WindForce 2X have surfaced. The new card features a compact non-reference design, with Gigabyte's Ultra Durable VGA component selection and its WindForce 2X cooler. The card features 4+2 phase VRM power for the GK104 GPU and uses two 6-pin PCIe power connectors. The card ships in two variants, one that sticks to NVIDIA-reference clock speeds, and an OC variant (941 MHz core, 1019 MHz GPU Boost, 6.00 GHz memory). The cooler uses a compound heatsink.

TPU reports that the design consists of a main central aluminum heatsink which draws heat from the GPU, while two satellite aluminum fin heatsinks draw heat from the GPU through two 8 mm-thick copper heat pipes. The heatsink is ventilated by a pair of 100 mm fans, which spin at low speeds and claim low noise levels. Gigabyte's WindForce 2X graphics card is expected to cost less than its flagship WindForce 3X. Find a review at the source.
