This news will be about Poinf of View, Colorful and Gigabyte products.
As usual, different video cards from different manufacturers have appeared on CeBIT. Now we would like to mention some of them.
First come a real monster, a product from Point of View called “Beast”. This is practically a modified GeForce GTX 580 model, where the clocks have been significantly raised and the dual-slot cooler on the reference solution has been replaced with water cooling. The GPU / Shader / Memory triple frequencies were shot at 855 / 1.710 / 4.104 MHz. The 1.536 MB of GDDR5 memory is still connected to the GF384 graphics processor via a 110-bit data bus. The water cooling used here - which cools the memories and voltage regulators directly in addition to the GPU - comes from the AquaComputer workshop. The Point of View / TGT Tuning pair undergoes a thorough two-hour test of each completed model to ensure that no defective product enters the stores under any circumstances. There are two DVI and one Mini-HDMI ports on the back. The “GTX 580 Beast” is already available in Europe, but its price is quite peppery, which means 720 euros.
The next manufacturer in line is Colorful, which operates in the Asian region. Here we come across two NVIDIA based cards. One is the GeForce GTS 450 iGame Buri-SLIM, which is a single-slot design model. The clocks do not deviate from the values recommended by NVIDIA and the amount of on-board memory is 1 GB. There are two DVI and one Mini-HDMI outputs on the back. The next piece on display is the GeForce GTS 450 iCafe, which differs from the original plans practically only in the cooling solution. The refrigerator, which occupies two card slots, is designed to be easy to clean. The product name (iCafe) comes from the internet cafe. A manufacturer spokesman noted here that since most people in Kana browse the Internet in Internet cafes, such rooms are very crowded and cleanliness and order are not at the height of the situation, resulting in PC coolers being able to do their job for significantly less time than under normal circumstances, so it was considered good to create a card with an easy-to-clean cooler on it.
The third manufacturer is Gigabyte, who also came up with a big monster called GV-N580SO-15I. At present, very little is known about this, the manufacturer has not even revealed the clocks, all that is certain is that a solution called WindForce-3x will be responsible for cooling. Specific clocks as well as the expected price and release date will only be revealed after the event. Of course, this was not their only product, several other models were also available for viewing. There have also been modified GeForce GTX 560 Ti, GTX 570 and GTX 460 based products using the so-called UltraDurable VGA + technology, all with a WindForce type cooling solution.
