The Card
EVGA's card looks great thanks to the combination of a plastic shroud with metal applications and a high-quality metal backplate. Dimensions of the card are 27.0 cm x 13.0 cm.
Installation requires two slots in your system.
Display connectivity options include a DVI port, one HDMI port, and three DisplayPorts.
Unlike previous-generation NVIDIA cards, the DVI port no longer includes the analog signal, so you'll have to use an active adapter. NVIDIA also updated DisplayPort to be 1.2 certified and 1.3/1.4 ready, which enables support for 4K at 120 Hz and 5K at 60 Hz, or 8K at 60 Hz with two cables.
The GPU also comes with an HDMI sound device. It is HDMI 2.0b compatible, which supports HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies. The GPU's video-encoding unit has been updated to support HEVC at 10-bit and 12-bit.
We shine the light from a self-leveling line laser onto the card, which shows no sagging.
