ZOTAC GeForce GTX 670 TwinCooler: Very short CG and overclockée

The Chinese manufacturer Zotac launches a very short GTX 670, overclockées of plant and having frequencies of a House, the TwinCooler heatpipe.

ZOTAC will soon be a GeForce GTX 670 that has the particularity to be very short, less than 18 cm, because with the PCB of the GTX 670 of reference NVIDIA but by taking away cooling at the end of card system which then rallongeait all.

The GeForce GTX 670 TwinCooler is then a compact stencil (177.8 x 111.2 mm x 35 mm) adopter then a heatpipe dual fan 80 mm responsible for blowing on a finned aluminum radiator, all occupying therefore two slots in the housing.

ZOTAC not content with planing GTX 670 size allows even to overclock all frequencies of plant for the GPU with 954/1033 MHz in standard/GPU Boost and video memory with 1552 MHz for the 2 GB of GDDR5 (against 915/980/1502 MHz on the classic GTX 670).

The map always has 2 6-pin PCI-e connectors to feed and its double rear bracket offers four video outputs including two ports DVI Dual-Link, 1 1 4 HDMI and a DisplayPort 1.2 port. The map is expected for June 20 at a rate not specified.

We will of course try to us available to gauge its performance and especially to test the effectiveness of the TwinCooler to the level of heat dissipation and noise to cool a powerful GPU on a small PCB.

NVIDIA formalizes the GeForce GT 640, the Kepler not expensive

The California skier, NVIDIA, launches its GeForce GT 640, entered graphics card based on the Kepler architecture.

NVIDIA took the Computex currently taking place in Taipei to formalize its graphics card of entry based on the new architecture Kepler, the GeForce GT 640.

However, unlike its counterparts that are the GTX 670, 680 and 690 targeting the high and very high-quality, GK104 on the horizon. The small last hosts actually its PCB a GK107, declination of Kepler to the die of only 118 mm² for 1.3 billion transistors always engraved 28 nm (294 mm² and 3.5 billion transistors for the GK104).

Thus, the GK107 consists of 2 SMX 384 CUDA cores, 32 units of texturing and 16 ROPs. The GPU is running at 900 Mhz and does not benefit from GPU Boost technology, the 1 or 2 GB of DDR3 memory see frequency sets to 891 Mhz and are sent via a 128 bit for a bandwidth bus up to then the 28.5 GB/s. The map takes a format low - profile which monopolisera that a slot and its 65 Watts TDP allows him to escape to power connector, the energy provided by the PCI-Express port, more card is efficient in standby mode it consumes more than 15 Watts.

The outputs GT 640 offer three GeForce video with two Dual-Link DVI ports and a mini-HDMI 1 4A for a fee of $ 99. Many third-party manufacturers and partners of NVIDIA will also offer their own models of references and/or specific with many variants which we reparleront you soon.

MSI launches a GeForce GTX 670 OC with the Twin Frozr IV

The MSI Builder offers a GeForce GTX totally customisée 670, overclockée of plant and its home, the Twin Frozr IV heatpipe equipped.

MSI, after having proposed that a simple clone of the reference GeForce GTX 670, will launch a new fully customisée model, the GTX 670 Power Edition.

Overclockée factory and equipped with cooling House Twin Frozr IV system, the map has under the hood. GPU frequency therefore were reviewed upward by MSI and proposes now the 1019/1079 Mhz standard and GPU Boost against respectively 915/980 Mhz on the GTX 670 of origin NVIDIA. The 2 GB of GDDR5 remain for their processors at the frequency recommended by the firm to the Chameleon or 1502 Mhz, damage.

The map is thus cooled by the new version of the MSI own heatpipe, Twin Frozr in its fourth grinding. It consists of a large sink finned aluminum crossed by five heat pipes in nickel plated copper, the all topped two diameter 80 mm PWM fans composed each of 13 blades. The Builder and announces an increase of 20% of the air stream to achieve a reduction in the temperature of 20 ° and diminished noise of 11.7 dB from the original cooling system on the NVIDIA GTX 670.

Dust Removal developed by the mark is also and, on startup the PC to run the fans at full speed in the opposite direction to dust that would be filed on it. MSI GTX 670 Power Edition using the PCB of the GTX 680, 27 cm long and has four video outputs including two ports DVI Dual Link, a HDMI 1 4 port and a Display Port 1.2.

The card will be available for sale from the half of the month of June for a fee of €420.

GeForce GTX 670: 4 - Way SLI not supported... for now

NVIDIA will soon bring the compatibility of the GTX 670 with technology 4 - way SLI via an update of drivers.

The GeForce GTX 670 has two bridges SLI on the PCB, this one that suggested that the 4 - way SLI was possible but apparently, according to the PC Perspective website, is currently not the case, 3 - way SLI is operational.

The GPU GK104 GTX 670 being a very close variation of the GTX 680 and the PCB allowing two SLI bridges, there is no which would prevent this multi-GPU technology to function. After contacting officials in NVIDIA our colleagues have learned that 4 - way SLI would be soon supported with a next update of drivers.

When we see that a two GTX 670 SLI is only 2% less efficient and 20% less expensive than a GeForce GTX 690 with a consumption of lower energy, 4 - way SLI is therefore be a tempting solution, if drivers follow course. Case to follow so.

The GeForce GTX 670 arrives, photos support

This is a secret, NVIDIA is preparing to launch a GeForce GTX 670 very soon and here are the Colorful model that is revealed in photos.

After out graphic card high-end GeForce GTX 680, and announced the very high-quality bi - GPU GTX 690, NVIDIA prepares to complete its range with the GTX 670 embarking a castrée version of the GK104 of its big sisters.

Highly anticipated by many players, the GeForce GTX 670 should not delay in coming the end of its PCBs and is already on different websites: photos of the map. The Colorful manufacturer model can be seen on the Chinese site EXPreview TechPowerup echoed. According to the source, map glue perfectly to the NVIDIA reference design and can be pointed out that the two PCI-e 6-pin connectors are positioned side by side toward the center of the slice and not the card as usual.

This is explained by the use of a particularly short PCB used to GTX 670, the map is then "artificially" extended by a longer carter incorporating a radial fan deported at the front as shown in the photos of the back of the card. The GeForce GTX 670 should be launched during the month of May. Information "informal" as long as NVIDIA did not things.

Galaxy GeForce GTX 680 GC 2 GB, overclockée and customized

The Galaxy manufacturer launches a new model GTX 680 overclockée plant and equipped with a customized heatpipe, the GeForce GTX 680 GC 2 Go.

Galaxy released a new version of the GeForce GTX 680, called GeForce GTX 680 GC 2 GB, at frequencies GPU overclockées of plant and equipped with a cooling House system.

Thus this new card is his GK104 beat at 1110 Mhz/1176 Mhz in standard/GPU Boost mode against 1006 Mhz/1058 Mhz initially, the 2 GB of GDDR5 remain for their processors 1502 Mhz as recommended by NVIDIA. Custom cooling system consists of a wide radiator finned aluminum crossed by several heat pipes in nickel plated copper, all being cooled by the breath of two fans of 92 mm in diameter, a fairing aluminium enclosing all.

Map is 25.4 cm long and 11.10 cm high, it has two slots and feeds via two connectors PCI-e 6 + 8 pine. Outputs video proposed are identical to those of the reference map to two DVI ports, an HDMI 1 4A taking and a DisplayPort 1.2.

The price and the date of release of this model in France have not yet been specified by the manufacturer.
