The ASUS EN7800 GT TOP SILENT is SLI enabled, which means that if you add a second card, it can work in SLI mode, giving even higher gaming performance.

On the top there is a rather large heatsink that covers the GPU and the memory modules, with a heatpipe running from the GPU to an array of fins, which transfers the heat away from the GPU.

The fins can be rotated 90° up or down, and according to ASUS, if the combined height of the CPU and CPU fan is not be greater than 11cm, you rotate the fins so that they lie above the CPU fan, in which case the SilentCool uses the CPU's cooler to draw away any generated heat.

The card is equipped with two DVI-I connectors and a VIVO/HDTV-out connector.

On the far end of the card, along with the capacitors and transistors, is the standard PCI-E power connector, which requires at least a 400-Watt power supply.

On the VIVO cable, you will find the S-Video in/out, Composite in/out and the HDTV-out connections. Unfortunately, as we have already said, no S-Video, HDTV or Composite cables are included in the retail package...
