MSI NX6600GT-TD128E
When I get new products in to review, especially graphics cards, I play a game where I try and visualise what the board will look like based on the reference board and previous products from that manufacturer, before I open the box to take a look. Yes, I know the board is pictured on the back of the box, but bear with me. With the 6600 GT TD128-E, I was spot on. Think 6600 GT reference with MSI's usual red PCB, with their copper-effect 'flower' cooler on top, a design they've used since the dark old days of the GeForce FX. It's all about visual branding, being able to tell without question that the card you're looking at was made by MSI.
Memory heatsinks cool the GC20 GDDR3 DRAMs used by the board with the flower cooler doing the GPU cooling work. There's no need for an external power connector with the board, the GPU happy to pull all it needs from the PCI Express slot. You can see the SLI inter-GPU connector on the top edge of the PCB.
There's no discrete video processor ASIC on the back side of the board for video input capability, and being a 128MB board, the rear of the PCB is bereft of DRAMs, those devices residing on the same side as the GPU.
It's a small PCB with a small aluminium cooler, just what the doctor ordered.
