Yesterday , NVIDIA officially introduced the updated GeForce GTX 1060 and GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards, which used faster memory, and before that several large manufacturers presented their versions of these video cards. EVGA will also produce such video cards, but for now it has prepared a pleasant surprise for existing users of some video cards.
The company has released updated BIOS versions for several of its GeForce GTX 1080 graphics cards, due to which the memory of these graphics accelerators will work with an effective frequency of 11 GHz instead of the previous 10 GHz. New BIOS versions can already be downloaded ( here ) for the following video cards:
* EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 iCX;
* EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW2 DT iCX;
* EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 SC2 iCX;
* EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 iCX.
This update provides the memory system of the above video cards with a throughput of 352 GB / s, which has a positive effect on performance. The company published screenshots of test results in Unigine Superposition Benchmark. The increase was more than 3%, which can not be called an outstanding result, but to achieve it you just need to update the firmware.
In the end, we note that the EVGA company warns that for some, a small number of video cards after the upgrade can be unstable. Therefore, the company recommends immediately to test the video card in any "heavy" game or benchmark, and in case of problems immediately contact the technical support of EVGA. Related Products :
