The Photos

The images were taken at 2560x1920 pixels and then scaled down. The camera used was a Sony DCS-F707 5.1 MegaPixel.

Second in alphabetical order; Point of View.

Point of View's packaging.  Clearly marked with 'EXO edition'. This bundle comes with the pre-overclocked model and a full game.

Looks good though, right? All 8800 GTS 512MB models are the same except the sticker and pre-tested overclock flashed into the BIOS.

Here we see DVI connectors, both dual-link DVI of course. With the 7-pin HDTV-out mini-din, a user can plug an S-video cable directly into the connector, or use a dongle for YPrPb (component) or composite outputs. The prior 9-pin HDTV-out mini-din connector required a dongle to use S-video, YPrPb and composite outputs. I think by next year we'll see the cards with one HDMI connector on there.

Until that time, you are looking at HDMI/DVI connectivity or the usage of a HDMI dongle and again, I feel that board partners should include a HDMI dongle, which in this case POV is doing, good stuff.

All NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS-based graphics cards are HDCP capable by the way. The distinct difference for this product is, it can do it with both DVI/HDMI ports utilized.
