Board Layout

Like I mentioned before, they really packed everything into a small package. As you can see in the picture below the low profile height and single bay width make for an unintimidating card. Even more impressive is the lack of any power connector on the card.

Here is a similar photo but with the standard height bracket installed.

The short cooling solution consist of a black cooler with the Sapphire logo embossed and an equally small fan to match the cooling and keep everything cool.

A green PCB houses the HD 6670. Sapphire did a good job packing everything into the low profile solution, the PCB is packed everywhere you look.

When running the low profile brackets, to have the VGA connection on the back of your PC you will have to take up two slots. This is optional of course. You still have a DVI and HDMI connection. As a whole its great to see all three connections on a card like this. HDMI and VGA are a requirement when considering use as an HTPC and DVI has become fairly standard with most monitors.

A new card from Sapphire that has a little power behind it, but will fit in a low profile case.
