For all those who require a quick brief on the latest Graphics Cards details, here are the top 3 releases of the month. Have a look.
- Inno3D i-ChiLL GeForce GTX 470 Black Series
Inno3D launched the i-ChiLL GeForce GTX 470 Black Series equipped with liquid cooling technology. The “full cover” water-block cools the GPU, Voltage Regulators, I/O chip, memory modules, and other critical components.The Black Series water-block offers superior thermal performance at the GPU level thanks to the Direct-Flow design on Inlet/Outlet.High thermal conductivity grease pads are pre-applied in the memory and MOSFET areas for user convenience. Short barb fittings are included for 1/4″ tubing and are compatible with quad SLI setups. The i-ChiLL GeForce GTX 470 Black Series operates at just 52 degrees C at full speed, which is 40 degress C less than the temperature of the reference GTX 470.
- TUL Corporation GDDR5 graphics solution PCS+ HD5550
Available from May 20th, TUL Corporation’s GDDR5 graphics solution is the most affordable in the value segment. Fixed with the PCS+ series feature, the PCS+ HD5550 features a quiet 92mm cooling fan offering a low-noise working environment measured under 30dB at load. The PCS+ HD5550 comes with factory overclocked settings which clocks in at 650MHz and 900MHz core and memory speed respectively. Equipped with GDDR5 onboard memory, the card easily boosts the performance and enhances data transmission rates up to 3.6Gbps. The PowerColor PCS+ HD5550 takes advantage of ATI stream technology and supports the latest DirectX 11 and Windows 7.
- Galaxy’s factory overclocked GTX 470 GC graphics card
Galaxy released a factory overclocked GTX 470 GC graphics card which is the first reference GeForce GTX 470 equipped with a custom-made heatsink cover.The card comes factory overclocked to 625MHz for the core, 1250MHz for the shader, and 3348MHz (effective) for the memory (1280MB GDDR5). In addition, it can be further tweaked using Galaxy’s Xtreme Tune HD software utility.
NOTE: Recently I had written a blog on “Nvidia’s GTX 480 And GTX 470 To Combat ATI’s Domination”- (http://gizbuy.com/2010/03/31/nvidias-gtx-480-and-gtx-470-to-combat-atis-domination/)
Following that news, I would like to add up that recently Nvidia has launched a latest graphics driver which is is actually an update for the GeForce GTX 480 and GeForce GTX 470 cards. This WHQL- certified update adds 4-way SLI support for GeForce GTX 480, installs NVIDIA PhysX System Software v9.10.0129(NVIDIA PhysX acceleration is available on all GeForce 8series, 9series, 100series,and 200series GPUs with a minimum of 256MB dedicated graphics memory and a minimum of 32 processor cores) and also installs the HD audio driver, version 1.0.9.1.
