The Card

As far as the PCB goes, the dimensions of the video card are identical to other currently available solutions based on the GeForce 7600GT. The cooling solution, however, is quite different than most other products because it is completely passive.

There are two main elements that make up the cooling solution. The first part is the black colored heatsink which is in direct contact with the GPU in addition to the memory chips, therefore cooling both the core and memory. The second part is the aluminum cooling fins. Two heatpipes connect the cooling fins to the heatsink, and from there is heat is transferred from the memory chips and GPU to the cooling fins.

An overall view of the video card shows the solid construction of the passive cooling system. The support bracket is made of aluminum and crosses the entire length of the card. There is no 6-pin PCIe Connector present on the card. In fact, the GeForce 7600 GT GPU does not require any additional power, a major reason for why it is able to provide lower power consumption than most video cards based on other GPUs.

The box comes decorated with the Fatal1ty logo. There is also a picture of the man himself in the background. A small logo tells that the cooling system used for the video card is completely silent.

The retail bundle lives up to the mid-range segment the card is targeted at. Only a driver CD comes with the bundle, and there is only one DVI to VGA adapter. An S-Video cable is provided, though, along with a guide on how to install the card and using the correct wires.
