As you can see, cards from Leadtek, Inno3D and Zotac copy the reference design. While Palit, Gainward MSI cards feature minor PCB layout improvements, especially related to power supply units.
Leadtek's 768MB card has the same PCB as the 1024MB counterparts, it just lacks two memory chips and narrower bus.
All graphics cards have 6-pin supplemental power connectors.
Maximum resolutions and frequencies:
- 240 Hz maximum refresh rate
- 2048 x 1536 x 32bit @ 85Hz Max -- analog interface
- 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz Max -- digital interface (Dual-Link DVI/HDMI)
