    BFG 8800 GT OC - Card Images


    (Page 2 of 4 )

    What's the biggest difference over previous 8800s? It has a single slot cooler. This makes SLI a lot easier and provides room for other cards in your computer too. It appears that this card runs cooler, though through testing I will see how well it actually does. The cooler stretches across the whole front of the card and has a BFG sticker on it. It appears to be the simple reference card with a slightly higher clocked core. At the top, we find the SLI connection for dual and tri card SLI. The tri card option is for the new nVidia chipsets, whenever they hit the market.

    On the side we find a single 8 pin power connector.

    Dual DVI and S-Video is pretty much standard now, so perhaps we could see HDMI soon in high end cards.

    There is nothing interesting on the back of the card to talk about really. Check out all the screws that attach the cooler to the card though. They cover the whole card, not just around the core.
