Partners of the Santa Clara, California-based NVIDIA will soon announce the debut of their new single-PCB GTX 295 graphics cards, which will provide users with the same clock speeds as on the company's initial dual-PCB reference model. One of these
partners is Taiwanese manufacturer MSI, which is expected to announce at least one new card featuring the new design, according to a series of leaked pictures. The new card, along with some other new MSI hardware, will likely be showcased at the company's booth at Computex.

As mentioned in previous rumors, the single-PCB GeForce GTX 295 graphics accelerator has been planned for some time now, but the chip maker has so far delayed its debut. The new design brings NVIDIA's GeForce cards closer to those of its competitor, AMD, which also has dual-GPU models featuring a single PCB design. According to reports, Computex is the most likely place for the new products to emerge. Such is the case with MSI's upcoming board, the N295GTX video card, featuring a single black PCB with Hi-c CAPS and Solid State Chokes and Solid CAP capacitors.

The soon-to-be released board will boast the same technical specifications as its dual-PCB counterpart, including the 1792MB of GDDR3 memory, 480 stream processors and a 2x448-bit memory interface. As far as clock speeds go, the card works at reference clocks of 576MHz, 1242MHz and 1998MHz. The cooling design, however, has been altered, now featuring two dual heatsinks with a center-placed fan to effectively remove the heat on both GPUs. In addition, MSI used high-quality components for the PCB, which now features Hi-c CAPS, Solid State Chokes and Solid CAP capacitors.

Unfortunately, there are no specific details regarding the future release of these new cards, but there's a good chance most of NVIDIA's partners will be rolling them out soon enough.
