The cooling fans are controlled by PWM and the company claims that the noise generation is 10.2 dB lower when compared with the reference design.Ĭonsidering that the reference design is not exactly what we’d call quiet, we would have like to see MSI use 90-millimeter fans rotating at lower speeds. EVGA GeForce GTX 960 4GB GDDR5 Graphics Card (04G-P4-3966-KR) 5 out of 5 stars. The output connectors are a Dual-link DVI-I port, a Dual-link DVI-D connector, a DisplayPort and a HDMI connector. The 4 GB of GDDR5 memory works through a 256-bit BUS and both cards come with the same back panel outputs. The memory is clocked the same on both cards, at 6008 MHz effective. The non-OC version works at the usual reference 1006 Mhz with the 1058 MHz boost.
The cards are called MSI N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GD5/OC and MSI N680GTX Twin Frozr 4GD5.īoth use solid capacitors, but the OC model has the GPU clock raised to 1058 MHz with a 1124 MHz boost, while the rest of the clocks remain the same as on the reference design from Nvidia. The heatsink is cooled by two 80-millimeter fans that have a special propeller design claimed to offer better airflow and lower noise. The new cards use MSI’s popular Twin Frozr cooling system that comes with five heatpipes, out of which two are 8-millimeter wide, which brings much better cooling performance. Branded as the GeForce GTX 680, the card is powered by a 28nm GPU codenamed GK104 that. Therefore, MSI’s new graphics adapters will be able to run high-quality games in very high resolutions with higher frame rates. On March 22, Nvidia unveiled its first 'Kepler'-based graphics card. The new models feature Nvidia’s Kepler GPU and double the usual memory quantity. GeForce GTX 670 Ti was apparently a name used internally by NVIDIA. According to Fudzilla the card that will be released on 22rd March is GeForce GTX 680. NVIDIA’s performance segment will not be refreshed until may, so GeForce GTX 570 it not getting any replacement for now. Well-known motherboard and notebook manufacturer, Taiwanese company MSI has just introduced two new GTX 680 video cards on its official website. GeForce GTX 680 will be available for 549.
