UNBOXING PICS
 

Great look, EVGA!

That foam junk.  Not my fave but it gets the job done.

Stickers!  And the usual drivers disc, manuals, quick start guide, case badge, etc.

EVGA Gaming poster.  Now, I gotta admit, I liked this!

Minimalism.  It's a good thing.  Looks sleek and sharp.

I really liked the protective caps on all the ports and SLI connectors. +1

As you can see, it's just a touch shorter than the GTX 580.

Okay, here they are installed in the Torture Rack with the X79 FTW.

Note the side by side 6-pin PEG connectors.  One is actually situated upside down so you have to twist your power cable a bit.  That approach is interesting and definitely new.
 
Finally, here's an updated pic of the rig with the backplates on, yes, there's about 2*C drop for me which is nice, but of course I use them mainly for looks.  They're sleek and look great on these cards.
