The design of the card is dominated by the Zalman VF900-Cu cooler. The cooling system uses heatpipes to dissipate heat while the fan operates at lower speeds. We will discuss more regarding noise output further on into the article. Sapphire has put some effort into making the video card actually look appealing as the parts are all color coded. The orange member at the far right of the video card actually serves no true purpose and is there for pretty much aesthetical value.

Although the cooling solution isn’t as thick as most Zalman products, the video card is still a double slot solution. Standard X1950PROs use a more contained cooling solution which allows most of them to occupy only one slot.

Each memory chip is passively cooled and is equipped with a mini-heatsink. Because the heatsink is blue, we cannot properly classify whether the material used is Copper or Aluminum.

The card comes with a CrossFire brace, a DVI-VGA adapter, a component cable, an S-Video cable, a power cable, and an S-Video/Composite adapter. It also comes with an instruction handbook, a Catalyst Driver CD, PowerDVD and a complete version of the video game Just Cause.
