The images show the card in naked form without its custom cooling solution attached (whatever that may look like, we're not sure yet).

This card has two 8-pin PCI-E connectors for maximum power delivery and MSI has even chosen to give the card easily accessible measuring points for voltmodders to monitor GPU voltages directly. You can also see from the picture directly above that the card appears to have a 12-phase vGPU and 3-phase vMEM.

No word on a release date or pricing just yet.
