Original backplate should work, it comes with 2 sets of holes:

Why it still has 2 holes, I have no idea, they likely just used a modified mounting found on Accelero S1/TwinTurbo. TwinTurbo had those 4 tiny screws that would easily fit the original backplate. This could have same ones as the mount looks so similar.
Double holes would mean that this also fits to 9800GTX and 4870 and anything coming out in the future :)
