The card itself has a pretty nice, slick look to it, but the cooler is big and will eat up two slots. As you can see the residual heat is dumped inside your PC. The cooler does it's job good enough, but does not stand out in terms of silence or extreme cooling. We love the blue PCB and that nice dark theme. Even the front-side bracket is nicely black along with the connectors.
One SLI connector, you can hook up two of these puppies and move yourself into a more high-end enthusiast experience.
At the rear end we stumble into the 6-pin power connector. As explained a couple of times 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.
Last but most certainly not least the card photographed in our test system, doing a good workout. This one is taken in a darker environment. We have some UV lighting in the chassis giving the photo that crisp Guru3D blue color we all like so much.
