The GTS 450 from NVIDIA launched a little over a year ago; on September 13th, 2010 to be exact. For that reason, you can't help but imagine my surprise when ASUS wanted to shoot over a new version of the card as it was introduced to the new Direct CU Silent family.
EVGA designed the GTX 580 Classified to be the ultimate version of what the GTX 580 could be. It was co-designed between EVGA and professional overclockers Vince "k|ngp|n" Lucido, and Illya "TiN" Tsemenko with the single goal to overclock unlike any card out on the market while at the same time looking great, and staying cool. Benchmark Reviews will see if EVGA has perfected the Fermi equation to provide great looks, extraordinary cooling, and extreme overclocking ability.
I've looked at a couple of video cards over the past few months, each being more powerful (and expensive) than the previous. It all started with MSI's R6850 which retailed for $177.99 at the time of our review. Next on the list was the ASUS GTX560 Ti which showed a marked improvement over the slower AMD offering, albeit at roughly $75 more expensive. Today we will bump things up to the higher-end of the spectrum as we analyze the ASUS GTX580 DirectCU II graphics card, a $500 premium GPU featuring a core clock of 782 MHz, 512 processor cores and an effective memory clock of 4008 MHz. This card is factory overclocked by 10 MHz (772 MHz reference) but ASUS also offers a higher factory overclocked version of this card at 816 MHz.
Purchasing a video card can be very confusing. Looking at the different model lines and features across multiple manufacturers boasting over clocked memory, or specialty cooling can be enough to make your head spin. Focusing on AMD there are two series that are Direct x 11 compatible the 5000 and 6000 series GPU's. Released in 2010 the 6000 series cards are the second generation DX 11 GPU's and offer AMD PowerTune technology making the cards more energy efficient with lower operating temperatures. Today we have the Sapphire Vapor-X HD6850, here is what Sapphire has to say:
Graphic cards
Graphics cards are a funny thing, because we end up with AMD and Nvidia constantly competing and releasing new models of GPU's left right and centre and then suddenly we see nothing. The only products that end up being released are revamped versions of older cards, but that's not to say they aren't any good, as that couldn't be further from the truth.
Graphic cards
The graphics card world is at a certain point that we see every year, where it seems AMD and Nvidia seem to go into hibernation and no new products get released. This is where the partners of each GPU manufacturer start tweaking and generally going crazy themselves to offer something unique to the public. We've seen it from many brands as of late with specialist cards that give the market that sudden jolt back to life and more importantly get people talking and buying.
Vor einigen Tagen haben wir uns die erste Radeon 6770 bei uns im Testlabor angesehen. Nur wenige Stunden später erreichte uns eine Pressemitteilung von Asus, wo man eine passiv gekühlte Version dieser Grafikkarte vorgestellt hat, die ASUS EAH6770 DC SL/2DI/1GD5. Für diese Version wurde ein komplett passiver Kühler verwendet, der keine Geräusche erzeugt und trotzdem die Temperatur der Karte im Griff hat. Erreichen will man das mit einem doppelt so großen Kühlkörper und hochwertigen Heatpipes. Genau diese Grafikkarte möchten wir uns etwas näher ansehen.
Today we are looking at three new cards from XFX which feature their latest ‘DD’ cooling system. Before you all jump to wrong conclusions, it actually stands for ‘Double Dissipation’ – a dual fan system with 3 direct contact copper heatpipes. XFX claim record low temperatures and equally impressive noise emissions. Are the HD6950 DD, HD6870 DD and HD6790 DD really as good as they say?
Featuring a brand new custom ‘black impeller’ IceQ cooler and the innovative Lucid Hydra chip the latest Radeon HD 6970 IceQ MIX 2GB by HIS is not only fast, cool and quiet but it can also be paired with an NVIDIA GeForce card to enjoy the benefits of having both PhysX and CUDA support in your system.
In this review we take a closer look at this AMD based HD6870 video card. With the special built Twin Frozr III Cooler and a 8+2 Phase PWM design this one stands out of the crowd. MSI provides this card with a dual speed fan switch. And for a price around € 180 not even much that more expensive to the regular HD6870's. Even cheaper for a few models.
