Plus several improvements in the PCB itself. However, this product features a number of improvements, primarily having to do with a new arrangement of on-board components, and significantly newer power-efficient elements to lower operating temperatures. This is not Gigabyte's idea, just an overhauled reference design for the GTX 260. So we should repeat that the GTX 260/275 has been overhauled, and now all 14 memory chips are installed on the front, thus eliminating the need for a metal plate on the back. And the 5870 card was simply bought from AMD and then labelled with the company's logo (good-looking design, by the way, very effective in combination with black and red cooling system of the reference card).īoth GTX 260/275 cards are based on the same design, differing only in frequencies and pared-down cores. But GTX 260/275 cards are based on Gigabyte's PCBs, even though they come with the reference cooling system. These memory chips are designed for the maximum frequency of 1250 (5000) MHz.Ĭomparison with the reference design, front viewĬomparison with the reference design, back viewĪll three cards apparently copy the reference to some degree. The graphics card has 1024 MB of GDDR5 SDRAM allocated in 8 Samsung memory chips on the front side of the PCB. These memory chips are designed for the maximum frequency of 1200 (2400) MHz. The graphics card has 896 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM allocated in 14 Hynix memory chips on the front side of the PCB. The graphics card has 1792 MB of GDDR3 SDRAM allocated in 14 Hynix memory chips on the front side of the PCB. Multi-GPU operation: CrossFire (Hardware).Output connectors: 2xDVI (Dual-Link/HDMI), 1xDisplay Port, 1xHDMI.Gigabyte GV-N26SO (GeForce GTX 260 SuperOverclock) 896MB Output connectors: 1xDVI (Dual-Link), 1xVGA, 1xHDMI.Gigabyte GV-N275SO (GeForce GTX 275 SuperOverclock) 1792MB While there is no need to examine it again, it will be very interesting to test it in a CrossFire configuration. Today we are going to review a couple of such products: GTX 260 and 275 SuperOverclock from Gigabyte.Īnd we'll also take a look at the new RADEON HD 5870 card, which is provided by Gigabyte as it is - it's just a copy of the reference design without any modifications. We won't be surprised to see "UltraMegaSuperOverclocked" or something of the kind. Hence all these "Overclocked," "Turbo," "Super turbo," and the like. What should partners do, when GPU manufacturers haven't rolled out new products for a long time already? Right, they should invent new solutions based on the existing ones.
