NVIDIA GeForce 9600 GSO: Overclocked by XFX XXX Edition

As usual, the XFX brand tries to stand out from the competition by offering a no original GeForce 9600 GSO with Overclocked XXX Edition. As its name suggests, it is obviously a overclockée. With a black PCB, the card measures 21.5 centimeters long and occupies a single PCI-Express. With a plug PCI-Express six-pin, and an SLI connector, the card is fitted on the edge of a metal ruler struck XFX logo while its cooling system consists of a copper radiator Based on the graphics chip and memory chips, and of course fitted on the extreme left, a fan.

Overclock edition requires, XFX offers a chip operating at 680 MHz, 550 MHz against standard, while the flow processors running at 1625 MHz there is also an important overclocking (going from 1375 MHz to 1700 MHz) while memory operates at 950 MHz against 800 MHz standard as specified by NVIDIA. In finally, the card gets two DVI connectors (green fluorescent) and a MiniDIN connector for analog video outputs. Little detail, the mounting bracket of the card is black and all GeForce this comparison, there is a SPDIF connector to retrieve the audio signal from the motherboard.

NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT: map signed Gigabyte

Gigabyte declined slightly since the GeForce 9500 GT card with a mild response to name N95TOC-512H. With a blue PCB and connector format PCI-Express 16x, the card offers a tongue and SLI connector itself from any external power, like the rest all entry cards. Unlike the GeForce 9400 GT MSI we will show you a little further, the Gigabyte card is cooled in an active way. The radiator set on the single GPU is indeed equipped with a fan.

With 512 MB of video memory, in the case of GDDR2 signed Qimonda, the card is overclockée default. Thus, the graphics chip operates at 650 MHz, 550 MHz recommended against NVIDIA and 500 MHz memory, there is also an increase of 100 MHz compared to the reference design firm to the chameleon. But the most massive overclocking is observed on the side of the operating frequency processors flows, these operating against 1625 MHz 1400 MHz in normal times. Output, the card is equipped with two DVI connectors and a mini-DIN connector for analog video outputs. HDMI is of course supported by the chip, but the lack of physical connector will force you to use a DVI / HDMI.

NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT: map seen by MSI

The manufacturer MSI was able to send us for this comparison, a graphics card based on GeForce 9400 GT NVIDIA. More impressive than the Radeon HD 4550 it is supposed to compete, the GeForce 9400 GT MSI inherits a red PCB and adopt a completely passive cooling. It consists of a simple radiator based solely on the graphics chip. Format PCI-Express card onboard 512 MB of video memory, here DDR2 chips Samsung signed. It should be noted that the card has no SLI connector unlike the GeForce 9500 GT model.

Later operating frequency, MSI is perfectly sensible since the manufacturer complies with the frequencies recommended by NVIDIA with 550 MHz for the graphics chip and 400 MHz memory. Interesting for its quiet side, the card may find its place in a Media Center since it offers output, a DVI connector, VGA connector and an HDMI connector.
