That's exactly the same card. ;)Quote:

The PCB ends there, there isn't anywhere to move the connectors.Quote:

one of those is normal, one is a bastardized solution to get hot air out of the case by using more noise and much more space
Talk about cutting things down to size... :p:
Hopefully the smaller pcb and layout didn't result in to many sacrifices.
what in the world... Where is the power circuitry?Quote:

I love what NV is doing this generation. Their chips are still inferior to ATI's efficiency wise, but a lot closer than in the past, and the rest is just perfect.
Lets hope they have not cut too much in the PWM front.. Remember the 570 ?Quote:

uhhhhhhhh..... last time I looked the GTX 680 was faster than the 7970 and used less power? did i read something wrong?Quote:

Interesting on the PCB design though, could cram a lot of these on H20 into a smaller case.
