256-P2-N386 This is EVGA's 256-P2-N386. It appears like nothing more than a Nvidia reference card with an EVGA sticker on the fan because EVGA strictly follows Nvidia's reference design to bring the best quality and compatibility. The N386 has a pretty cool looking faceplate and sports the SLI connector. Although the 6800 GS and 6800 GT are the same size, the design is somewhat different:
Next, we commence "undressing" the card to discover that unlike EVGA's 6800 GT, which uses an aluminum heatsink, their 6800 GS makes use of a better copper heatsink:
From the profile, we see that the BGA memory chips have a white thermal pad over them to enhance heat conduction between the memory and the heatsink:
Let's see what's under the cooling solution:
There is the .11 micron NV42 chipset flanked by eight Samsung 2-nanosecond GDDR3 memory.
The memory is only on the front side.
