Gainward GeForce GTX 680 Phantom 2GB GDDR5 PCIe

Overview

Reviews
Gainward has instead embedded two extremely quiet 80mm PWM fans directly inside the heatsink. The company claims that its factory-overclocked GTX 680 is six degrees cooler and 11.5dB quieter than a reference GeForce GTX 680. The heatsink measures 225mm long, 70mm wide and 40mm tall (8.85in x 2.75in x 1.57in). The GDDR5 operating frequency has also been raised 5% from 6008MHz to 6300MHz, meaning the memory bandwidth has been boosted 5% from 192.2GB/s to 201.6GB/s.

Mit einem neuen Kühler ergänzt Gainward die schwarze Phantom-Reihe um eine werksübertaktete GeForce GTX 680. Waren die Phantom-Karten bisher im Bezug auf Leistung und akustische Zurückhaltung eine Art Referenz, muss sich die GTX 680...
