Very few of these cards will be used in an overclocked state, however as a matter of curiosity we decided to see how far we could push the hardware with software overclocking.
A very good core overclock of around 18 percent and the memory was able to hit 1100mhz before artifacting would occur.
In the overclocked state, card temperatures rose by several degrees celcius, both at idle and when under full load.
Thats a great idea, it should help people out with even AGP systems! bit expensive, but im sure the manufacturing costs are higher. its put me in the mood now to build a media center with the cheaper version of the card
Power consumption figures are staggering. its the GTX580 but the complete opposite !
Nice little board, id probably opt for something with a little more guts though, like hte passive HD5670 from sapphire.
Excellent, video support is always strong on these boards, ideal for a low powered media center
I ordered the 42 quid version on OCUK for my media center was looking for something like this and the IQ is great.
