Non References are starting to come out... Thursday, April 12, 2012 5:07 PM (permalink)

MSI has the first non stock reference design (except for Evga's Watercooled, and Superclocked with backplate...)

To be honest that looks like it has the same PCB and also both 6 pin connectors, just with the Twin Frozr cooler.

Doesn't mention 6pin + 8pin connectors anywhere, so I guess it's the same as the reference cards but with better coolers.

I was thinking the same, it does look reference...

After some google research, they are indeed reference cards with the original 4 phase design PCB and 6-pin connectors.

So they're just the same cards we all got, but with a better cooler.

At least I hope they're more expensive than what I paid for my GTX680's just 2 weeks ago, else it is going to make me feel stupid for buying "capped" cards.

The dual fan one will come a bit later, SC Signature will be... like now almost :) 3770K @ 5.4ghz -45c \|\| evga z77 ftw \|\| 2x evga gtx680 sc sig \|\| 8gb 2.4ghz cl10 \|\| 480gb vertex3 raid0

Will there be a similar shortage of signature cards on release like there is with the stock GTX 680? I call dibs on two
