As you can see, exactly the same PCB as the BFG. In fact all boards are based on a reference design. Again we see the 6-pin power connector. What's quite interesting is that the PCI-Express bus can deliver 75 Watts, where as the card uses 71 Watts, so it was on the borderline.

The GTS cards all support two dual-link, HDCP enabled DVI-I outputs. To your upper left you can see a 7-pin video out port for support for S-Video, composite and component (YPrPb) through an optional dongle. Most board partner include some sort of S--video cable and analog HDTV cable for this.
