The card itself isn’t very different in terms of layout or design. It uses the default NVIDIA reference board layout, and has a cooling solution to match it. The card still requires a 6-pin PCIe power input, for which the connector can be seen in the top right of the first photograph. As can be expected the card also features an SLI connector. Even though the card is overclocked, evidently Gainward doesn’t believe the overclock warrants a different cooling solution, and so again we have a standard NVIDIA cooling design. This is similar to what we saw in a previous review over the XFX overclocked 8800 GTX/GTS video cards.

Gainward packages a couple of accessories with its card, however, the supplied equipment is nothing very noteworthy. Gainward was kind enough to include Cyberlink’s PowerDVD 6 and DVD Solution, a driver CD, and two DVI-to-VGA adapters. In addition, a Molex to 6-pin PCIe power input connector is also included along with an installation manual and a composite video connector.
