Whilst there have been a few new cards come to the market over the last month or so from both NVIDIA and AMD, there's always the time available in each manufacturers R&D departments for them to tweak, tune and create new products to bring to market. Normally these come in the form of overclocked cards or those with slightly better coolers, but its very rare to see the release of a card that has been taken back to the drawing board a little more than usual.
In the current climate, there is a growing market for smaller, more compact systems, but at the same time ones that have power - lots of it. Consequently, cases like Bitfenix' Prodigy have become highly sought after due to their small frame, yet high level of flexibility when it comes to fitting large graphics cards, in fact they'll take any dual slot card that can be thrown at them, still with room to spare. This however pushes slightly smaller and more compact case out of the market, due to their limiting compatibility with longer cards and thus this leads to a lower spec card having to be used as generally they are smaller then their bigger and more powerful brothers.
With compact cases and limited graphics options available, lets bring forward Asus' latest weapon to the market in the form of the GTX 670 DirectCU Mini. There's no guessing required as to what the Mini part of the name means, essentially Asus have chopped or squashed the card, which ever way you prefer to look at it and the result of their efforts is a GTX 670 that packs more punch reference card with its overclock, but is no longer than some entry level cards, measuring a mere 17cm in length - that's 7.3cm shorter than NVIDIA's reference GTX 670 designs.
But as you would expect, packing more power into a smaller space poses a nightmare for the cooling department and as a result, Asus have developed a whole new fan design which they've called CoolTech. This new fan comprises of two different types of fan, but in a single package, namely the blower and axial fans that are used on graphics cards. This new style of fan generates a far greater cooling effect than a traditional axial fan and also gives a far wider reach than that of a blower fan, thus giving a greater cooling potential.
Nvidia’s GTX 770 was released as the successor to the GTX 670 when Nvidia announced the GTX 700 series quite some time ago. In essence the GTX 770 is a GTX 680 on steroids and so it isn’t really new as such. What is new is that it has a market price of $400 USD compared to the GTX 680 which has a market price of $420 USD. Of course it is cheaper and performs better as you’d expect from a card that makes the generational advancement. The unique aspect of the GTX 770 comes from its familiarity. Most AIB vendors have already worked with the GK104 GPU when it was the GTX 680 and know exactly how to get the best out of it – which can only be good for consumers.
Today we are looking at MSI’s high end GTX 770 solution that comes equipped with their popular and most recent version of the Twin Frozr VGA cooler. This card is also part of MSI’s Gaming Series so is no longer just standalone Twin Frozr. MSI has a few series that use the Twin Frozr cooler including the Hawk, Gaming, Lightning and the Power Edition cards.Unlike the MSI GTX 760 Twin Frozr Gaming OC graphics card, this one we have here today boasts a slightly chunkier heatsink design with an extra 6mm heat pipe to cope with the higher TDP of the GTX 770 compared to the GTX 760. I have already been impressed by MSI’s newest Twin Frozr VGA cooler on so many graphics cards so hopefully today we will be impressed with this latest MSI card.
Nachdem wir uns in einem der zurückliegenden Artikel im Bereich Grafikkarten bereits die Sapphire Radeon HD 5970 OC-Edition genauer angesehen, möchten wir die Thematik "Dual-GPU" noch weiter untersuchen. Die HD 5970-Karte basiert auf zwei RV870 XT Grafikchips und kann damit auf die geballte Rechenleistung von 2x 320 Shader-Prozessoren setzen. Um die Leistungsaufnahme und Temperaturentwicklung der GPUs auf einem einzelnen PCB besser unter Kontrolle zu bekommen, hat man im Vergleich zur Radeon HD 5870 die Frequenzen deutlich reduziert. Insgesamt handelt es sich bei der Radeon HD 5970 um eine Kombination aus HD 5870 Chip und HD 5850 Frequenzen. Leistungsmäßig sollte die Radeon HD 5970 somit zwischen den HD 5850 CrossFire und HD 5870 CrossFire liegen, was wir auf den folgenden Seiten genauer untersucht haben. Dabei sind wir nicht nur auf die 3D-Leistung der Karte eingegangen, sondern haben außerdem die Leistungsaufnahme, die Temperaturen und die entstehende Geräuschentwicklung der aktiven Kühlung im Detail untersucht. Wir wünschen wie immer viel Spaß beim Lesen des Artikels!
Technic3D hat die Gigabyte Radeon R9 270X OC Grafikkarte im Test. Mit dem WindForce 3X Kühler scheint Gigabyte bisher alles richtig gemacht zu haben. Ob es auch für die Radeon R9 270X gilt, steht im folgenden Artikel.
Technic3D hat die Sparkle Calibre X660 Grafikkarte im Test. Eine aufwändige Kühlung soll das Betriebsgeräusch senken und die Übertaktung ab Werk erhöht die Leistung. Ob die Calibre X660 ihrem Namen gerecht wird, steht im folgenden Review.
Lorsque l’on évoque l’univers du passif, les gamers s’enfuient en courant, d’autant plus que les deux cartes que nous testons aujourd’hui ne font pas vraiment partie du haut de gamme gamer, car on parle d’une GTS 450 et d’une HD 6770. Mais non revenez, on vous jure que les cartes peuvent vous surprendre, déjà ne serait-ce que par leur look, on dirait qu’elles sont tous droits tirés du film Transformer et parce que c’est Megan Fox qui les a benché, soyons honnête l’une des informations précédentes est fausse, à vous de deviner laquelle.
Today we are looking at the Zotac GeForce GTX 285 AMP! Edition 1GB graphics card. This is a high end card from Zotac and features 1gb of GDDR3 memory, comes with a 5 year warranty and also comes supplied with a free copy of GRID, the game.
We took four GTX 980 Ti graphics cards and put them through their paces in SLI, 3-way and 4-way SLI configurations, on an overclocked Haswell-E platform, using a ton of different games and testing in 3 resolutions as well as 2 quality setting.
Just how many GTX 980 Ti’s do you need for Ultra HD gaming in Ultra Quality settings?
We've got all our slide decks from AMD and some images from Sapphire. We'll tell you all the stuff we normally would in a video card review outside of the performance of course. Because there's so much to cover as well, it means we can get the performance article to you even faster while making sure we can cover as much information about the new dual GPU beast from AMD.
