Packaging

     As far as packaging goes, Connect3D has never been famous for their fancy boxes, but they have always given us everything we need and then some.

Here we see the card, cables, DVI adapters, CrossFire adapter, and software.

Up Close

     The X1950 Pro is a fairly massive video card and is quite heavy from the large heatsink that stretches from nearly end to end. Cooling these high power video cards has always been a problem but it looks like Connect3D has the X1950 Pro covered.

Connect3D is using a blower style fan to blow air through the copper heatsink.

The X1950 Pro had dual monitor capabilities with twin DVI outputs.

     Here we have another angle of the massive copper heatsink. Notice how the heatsink is ported to force air through the heatsink fins.

     Here we have one more angle of the heatsink. In this photo you can see the external power connector at the end of the PCB. Keep in mind that this card requires at least a 450w power supply and at least a 550w PSU for CrossFire configuration.

Here we see the back side of the video card. Nothing special to see here except for the heatsink mounting bracket.
