GALAXY technology company proved to be in the number of first producers, who proposed GeForce 8800 GTX with water cooling. Which is characteristic, GALAXY was generous to the completely autonomous system of liquid cooling zalman reserator 2. This although increased cost video card and removed the problem of search for additional components to the cooling system.
In such time NVIDIA did not permit to partners to sell those overclocked video card series geForce 8800, but all changed in 2006-2007. And in the market appeared the overclocked versions geForce 8800 GTX and GeForce 8800 GTS which was based on green color PCB. Although due to overclockers complicated to understand nature of interest manifested by buyers to the overclocked video cards, demand for such products exists. First, the overclocked versions video card propose the top level speed on the market, and this intrest many users that do not desire to investigate in the finesse of independent overclock. Secondly, some people refuse to be occupied by overclock or just look for the possible guarantee cases. Those overclocked by producer video card preserve guarantee .So their overclock is proposed for additional payment, but for potential buyers of video card class high-end these sums are most frequently insignificant.
Today we would want to examine video card GeForce 8800 GTX, which proposes frequency increased to 630/2000 MHz in the as-received condition on the reasonable price. The product is from GALAXY on the name GF P88GTX-OC/768D3. Let us note that similar frequencies are not high among similar products. for achievement of such frequencies it was not necessary even to modify the cooling system, that also made possible to preserve the price at a reasonable level.
In Japan this video card cost about $700, whereas possessing identical characteristics video card XFX cost $730-740. This example shows that the high frequencies do not always go with complex cooling system or high price. Overclock is attractive only in those cases, when it is proposed on reasonable price, and in this sense competitors has what to learn from GALAXY. Related Products :
