For the test we have chosen 2 GPU’s by Palit that are identical to each other, with the only difference being the dedicated RAM memory provided. Palit’s GPU’s look a lot simpler than the Asus GPU. Firstly, the cooler has the same dimensions as the board, so its overall size is almost half than the DirectCU II. The plastic cover hides only one fan that belongs to the TurboFan Blade family, which has a bigger cooling capability than a regular fan and produces less noise. Underneath it has a simple aluminum body that has a lot of ribs. The lack of heatpipes, copper parts and any other advanced tech is more than obvious. Continue reading

GeForce GTX 680
Except for good GPU’s, NVidia is master of creating a big hype, especially before their launch. AMD should learn something from them. With every new generation they raised a lot of dust, about how great their new product will be, upon which they would present a lot of test, reviews, and thoughts, about their new technology.
