Today we shall review a high-end graphics card from Gainward famous for its “Golden Sample” series among other things. The today’s solution has a custom cooler and is factory-overclocked. It seems that Gainward engineers developed a universal custom PCB suitable for both GTX 570 and GTX 580. It has 8-pin and 6-pin supplementary power connectors [...]

At the end of last week we reviewed the Gainward GTX 580 Phantom3, a custom GTX 580 design with significantly enhanced cooler and card design. In that article we found it to be a high quality product with plenty of overclocking headroom which lowered the power requirements, temperatures and noise levels when compared to a [...]

Palit is launching a GeForce GTX 580 with 3072MB of GDDR5 graphics memory. 3072 is twice the standard amount for a GTX 580 (see specs here). This card is designed for gamers that play at very high resolutions like 2560×1600 with many anti-aliasing samples. With 3072MB memory at 4020MHz, Palit GTX580 3GB provides incredible gaming [...]

Announced last month, Gainward’s latest GF110-based graphics card, the GeForce GTX 570 Phantom which comes equipped with a custom cooler (packing three 80mm PWM fans, six heatpipes, a copper base and 44 aluminum fins), has become available in Europe for as low as €333. The new DirectX 11 card features 480 CUDA Cores, a GPU [...]

The Gainward team is currently finishing up its third GeForce GTX 570 card, a model called Phantom which is likely factory overclocked and comes equipped with a new cooler featuring six heatpipes and three fans hidden behind a meshed panel that may ‘play’ the role of dust filter. The incoming GeForce GTX 570 Phantom is [...]

With the GTX 580 launch being extremely rough for us, there was no way the GTX 570 launch could be any rougher. Still, it wasn’t easy with the card shipping to us at the last minute and me having to personally pick it up from the courier depot nothing short of 15 hours ago so [...]

Last week NVIDIA quietly released their GeForce GTX 460 SE. According to NVIDIA, GTX 460 SE is designed to give a good price-performance level without compromising on memory amount or bandwidth. It retains 1 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface of the GTX 460 1 GB variant, but has a lower [...]

Getting in line with the NVIDIA launch day, Gainward has prepared two different GTX 580 cards, the reference and the Golden Sample factory overclocked version. As you all probably already know, the reference card is clocked at 772MHz for the 40nm GF110 GPU, 1544MHz for 512 CUDA Cores and 2004MHz for 1536MB of GDDR5 memory [...]

While its subsidiary Gainward came out with a full-height model, Palit has kept it simple with its GeForce T 430 and introduced a low-profile card that has a custom, dual-slot cooler, but features stock clocks – 700 MHz for the GPU, 1400 MHz for the shaders, and 1600 MHz for the memory. Palit’s GT 430 [...]

Like its rival add-in board makers, Palit-owned Gainward has come up with a card powered by NVIDIA’s latest DirectX 11-ready chip, the TSMC-manufactured GF108. Gainward’s GeForce GT 430 has a custom dual-slot cooler, a full-height PCB and features stock clocks. The card has GPU, shader and memory frequencies of 700 MHz, 1400 MHz and 1600 [...]

Palit’s subsidiary Gainward has a low-profile GeForce GTS 450 graphics card in the making, much like Palit’s card. Both these are yet to ship to major markets. In the mean time, Korean website Brainbox.com did a picture preview of Gainward’s card, called GTS 450 GOOD Low-Profile. The pictures reveal a neatly-designed PCB and cooler assembly [...]

Today we’ll have a brief get-to-know session with NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 450, NVIDIA’s latest offering aimed at those with less than deep pockets. The MSRP for the GTS 450 is €129, although you’ll also find many partner cards, both overclocked and reference clocked, to sell for more or a bit less. Gainward is locked and [...]

What happens in Gainward, stays in Palit. Barely a week after Gainward showed off its GeForce GTX 460 graphics card with 2 GB of memory, its brand owner Palit has its own model of the same kind, called the Palit GTX 460 2 GB Sonic. This non-reference design graphics card has Palit’s own design PCB [...]

As you know, not all GF100 GPUs are produced without defects. The nondefective ones are used in GeForce GTX 480 graphics cards; those that only have a few billion bad transistors or so have corresponding GPU parts disabled and are used in making GeForce GTX 470 products. But there are also GPUs that only have [...]

Zotac is apparently the third NVIDIA AIB to offer a 2GB GTX 460 card. We have already come across Sparkle and Gainward cards, but EXPreview has dug up a similar Zotac card and it might have an ace up its sleeve. Zotac has slapped a dual-fan cooler on its oversized GTX 460 2GB and the [...]

Gainward is working on an upper-mid range graphics card based on the newly released NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460 graphics processor, with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory across a 256-bit wide memory interface, and some factory-overclocked speeds. It is branded under Gainward’s GOOD Golden Sample marker. That card uses Gainward’s own design PCB and cooling solution. [...]

GTX 480 and GTX 470 were the first Fermi cards to hit the market, but NVIDIA recently followed them up with the third Fermi GF100-based card dubbed the GTX 465. The name suggests that the card is slower than both of its predecessors and the fact that it’s put up against AMD’s HD 5850 proves [...]

Featuring 352 CUDA Cores and support for DirectX 11, PhysX, SLI, CUDA and 3D Vision Surround, the new GTX 465 is also the most affordable GF100 based graphics card with it US $279 price tag.As noted, the GTX 465 features 352 CUDA Cores and works at 607MHz for the core and 1215MHz for the shaders. [...]

Our today’s review features Gainward GTX 480, currently the fastest single GPU graphics card. Of course, we’re talking about a Fermi GF100-based card announced about a month ago. Fermi is the family name for the latest generation of GPUs from NVIDIA, and naturally comes with DirectX 11 support. The first Fermi derivative is the GF100 [...]
