looks like your Xbox and read the text that accompanies that photo for more information.

If your GPU has a Fan on top of it like this picture you have a Version 1.0

If your GPU has no Fan on top of it you will need to check the power connectors in the next set of photos to figure out which Version you have.

If your Power Connector looks like this and you have no fan on the GPU then you have a Version 1.1

If your Power Connector looks like this and you have no fan on the GPU then you have a Version 1.2 to 1.6
