Head on view

XFX's card uses a dual slot cooler shaped like a rectangle. The XFX logo is inlaid on the cooler with yellow stripes on the top and bottom of the cooler. The cooling fan is the standard 47 fin cooling fan with a hexagonal cutout instead of the circular cutout on other cards of this type. XFX really has put a lot of thought into the look of the card.

Rear on view

The rear of the card has the part number and serial number stickers. These are also on the Do Not Disturb door hanger included with the bundle. The top of the card has two SLI bridges allowing for up to three GeForce GTX 275 cards to run together in SLI mode. The card requires power from two 6-pin power connectors.

SLI connectors

The IO of the card consists of the tried and true combination of two Dual Link DVI-I connectors and a single HDTV port. You can use a HDMI monitor with an adapter that is not included with the card or an analog CRT monitor with the included adapter. Two monitors can be connected to the card with appropriate adapters.
