The card is average sized, meaning it will fit without too many problems in your standard ATX box. There is no need for additional power supply, but if you install two of these cards, just remember to have enough PSU power to cover both. The card offers two (x2) DVI-D outputs and one S-Video output.

MSI has used Infineon DDR3 memory chips, rated at 700Mhz
