The Card

MSI's card design is longer than the reference design. The cooler, which pretty much covers the whole card, has an extra feature - you can add a second fan if you need better cooling performance. More on that on the next page.


The card requires two slots in your system.


Display connectivity options include two dual-link DVI ports and one mini-HDMI. You may use all the outputs at the same time.

An HDMI sound device is included in the GPU as well. It is HDMI 1.4a compatible and includes HD audio and Blu-ray 3D movies support. The DisplayPort outputs are version 1.2, which enables the use of hubs and Multi-Stream Transport.


The card has no SLI connector. All SLI data is transferred over the PCI-Express bus.
