MSI Radeon R9 290X Lightning PCB Photo's

Now I already knew that MSI was working on a Radeon R9 290X Lightning edition, but no details have been revealed to date. However PCB photo's have now leaked and by just looking at the PCB, you can uncover a lot of things. The MSI Radeon R9 290X Lightning PCB will get a 15+2 phase VRM (!) that will get its power from no less than three power connectors. Two of them are 8-pin connectors and then there is a 6-pin connector. 



Examining closer and you'll spot that voltage measurement points are included as well. Monitor connectors wise you'll spot DVI connectors, and the usual DisplayPort and HDMI connectors. There are locations for a dual or triple BIOS switch as well.

Well that's it for now. But with proper cooling, this card is going to be a beast.
