New thermointelligent VGAs from BFG

With overdrawn cards to strengthen the mid-range offerings of the manufacturer.

However, the fact of overdraft itself is by no means as spectacular and eye-catching as the so-called card-mounted. ThermoIntelligence cooling. PowerColor offers similar cooling to the two card slots, but while they are printed in orange, BFG has opted for a more restrained, brittle nickel cover that fits the brand image and a fan with green LEDs. So the sight is okay, what about heat dissipation? Well, according to the manufacturer, temperatures of 18 and 30 degrees Celsius lower can also be achieved on the 9600 GT and 8800 GT cards, which is certainly a huge reduction compared to the reference models.

Yet even the clocks have risen compared to the basic types. The GeForce 8800 GT OCX graphics core runs at 700 MHz, while the 112 stream processor runs at 1728 MHz. Nor could the half-gigantic GDDR3 memory remain intact, which eventually peaked at the 2 GHz rms value.

Because the GeForce 9600 GT OCX contains significantly fewer computing units, its clocks have been shot at a higher level. The 725 MHz of the core and the 1850 MHz of the stream processors are very respectable in the market, especially considering that nothing needs to be said about this. However, so that the memories are not lagging behind either, there is an effective increase of 150 MHz compared to the 1800 MHz reference clock.
