While you are looking at the card notice two obvious features that differentiate it from the AGP version of this card: the SLI connector and the lack of an connection for external power. The memory is also placed differently on the two versions.

The back is the card is very plain. It is a bit surprising that BFG decided to use such a heavy GPU cooler but did not include any sort of brace or cross-member on the back. The cooler is firmly in place but this is becoming a pretty standard practice in many upgrade coolers.
