    Card Layout and Features

    The Gigabyte GV-N7600OC-2GD measures in at 10 inches in length and comes pared with the popular Windforce 3X cooling solution.  This triple fan cooler is designed to maximize cooling performance while still remaining silent.  Despite there being three 76mm fans you would hardly notice them, even under an intense gaming session.
    Flipping the card over we can see the Gigabyte blue PCB and a full length PCB measuring in at about 10.5 inches which is about twice the length of the reference design.  No fancy back plates this time out.

    Video output is comprised of two dual link DVI video outputs (one a DVI-D digital only port) combined with a single Display Port and standard HDMI connection.  All four of these can be used at the same time allowing you to run 3-way surround and still have a spare monitor for use outside of the game.
    3-way SLI is possible using the GTX 760 given the dual SLI bridge connections found at the top of the card.  Sadly, 4-way SLI isn't allowed in the nVidia driver despite the card physically being configured for it.  The Windforce 3X cooler allows for both solid and flexible SLI bridge connectors to be used including some of the new bridges with metalized logos.
