The reference design AMD Radeon HD 7970 allows you to take only one PCIe slot

Turkish resource DonanimHaber published a few slides, allowing the details to evaluate the reference design of a new flagship single-GPU graphics cards AMD Radeon HD 7970, whose output (even formal) can be held on December 22. Apparently, the housing standard cooling system AMD Radeon HD 7970 has a slightly more rounded shape compared to the solution of the adapter and the previous generation has more red spots, including the strip in the center. In addition, the changed configuration of video output, in this case includes one DVI port and HDMI connectors, plus a pair of Mini DisplayPort, arranged in one row on the back panel. Rejection of the "two-story" a cluster of two video outputs DVI, available on models of the Radeon HD 6900, theoretically allows AMD Radeon HD 7970 takes up only one slot on the motherboard if you use a sufficiently thin water cooling system. Such a feature AMD Radeon HD 7970 makes it easy to create configurations with multiple video cards, so beloved by gamers and enthusiasts. The design of most standard cooling system there is a large evaporation chamber, are selected from the excess heat of the main components, aluminum radiator fins and off-center fan. PCB is located 28 nm chip Tahiti XT with 4.3 billion transistors and 12 units of GDDR5 memory plus MOS transistors and a pair of chip EEPROM, providing a variety of settings BIOS.
