Product Showcase
The card is roughly 8 Inches in length which is like 18 cm and thus complies with ATX standards yet falls just short (or long! - Ed) of the mITX standard, these cards will be excellent for silent running HTPCs whilst offering strong performance.
Due to the radiator cooler the card is fairly high though, please make sure your chassis has enough margin to fit this product in. From top to bottom that would be roughly 14 cm.
Here we can see the backside of the PCB. All memory is located at the frontside of the PCB, the memory unfortunately is tied to a 128-bit bus, and that is pretty narrow. As such these cards will be memory bandwidth limited to some degree.
The temps remain okay enough and the noise levels obviously are NIL. The new Maxwell GPU is very energy efficient and thus doesn't really require that external power connector. But that'll be a choice for the board partners to make, Palit did not embed external power connectors either.
