In times where lots of power is used to offer maximum performance we come to see heavier and bigger heatsink every new generation of GPU's. The 8800GTX heatsink doesn't only offer GPU and memory cooling; it also covers the NVI0 chip and several parts of the PWM area.

SLI technology has proven to offer the best performance by combining multiple VGA cards with each other. In the future we're not only going to see dual/quad/octa vga cards used in one system, we will also have the possibility to add physics cards to our game setup. The reason why the 8800GTX has another SLI connector is not yet determined, but it will be used in the future. Current SLI technology requires only one of those connectors to be hooked up.
