Sparkle GeForce 7900 GS 256MB

Next contestant. Here we have the Sparkle GeForce 7900 GS, I just can't help thinking that it's such a shame the PCB is not black. That would have looked so cool. If you look closer at the PCB you'll notice that component layout is not following the NVIDIA reference design PCB, compare it with the next photo.

Above you can see the reference design GeForce 7900 GS. I just find the differences fascinating, it doesn't say anythign about being better or worse for that matter. On a second note, the reference design is precidely the same as the GeForce 7900 GT. Are you still with me ?

It's a pretty card to look at for sure though. Here we see the backside, the card is alsso slightly larger compared to that reference model.

Again we can observe a sexy single slot design cooling design. The DVI connectors are both Dual-Link DVI. So you can hook up two extremely high resolution Dell 30" monitor's if you wanted to. We only have one .. it'll suffice for this test :)

And again, do not forget to hook up the card to your power supply.
