The Photo's

On the next few pages we'll show you some photos. The images were taken at 2560x1920 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Sony DCS-F707 5.1 MegaPixel.

Wahoo photo's ! A single slot design, any board partner can of course can use their own cooling solution. We notice on this reference model is the fact that the card has three output connectors, two DVI (one dual-link actually :) and the traditional video in/output connector. Let me explain Dual Link DVI btw.

The digital output formats available on the GeForce 7800 are in DVI-D Single-Link and Dual-Link as well as DVI-I Single-Link and Dual-Link format connectors. These DVI cables send information using a digital information format called TMDS (transition minimized differential signaling).

Single link cables use one TMDS 165Mhz transmitter, while dual links use two. The dual link DVI pins effectively double the power of transmission and provide an increase of speed and signal quality; i.e. a DVI single link 60-Hz LCD can display a resolution of 1920 x 1080, while a DVI dual link can display a resolution of 2048 x 1536. I know that many of you have been waiting for this.

The backside. As you can see the card looks somewhat longer then the 6800 PCB's. I measured, it's roughly 1 CM longer and should not be an issue for most smaller PC's.

Dual DVI-I Connectors, 1 Dual Link TMDS DVI Connector, 1 Single Link TMDS DVI Connector. All the way to your left S-Video, Composite connector. It also can be used for component output.

The booty shot, flipped around, notice that the memory on the backside is covered with heatsinks.
