Yesterday we reported about the updated video accelerator NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260, which uses the 55- nm graphic processor.
The test platform appeared as follows:
- Processor: Intel core 2 Quad q6700 (3 GHz)
- Motherboard : Foxconn MARS
- Memory: A -DATa DDR 2-1066, 1 GB x 2
- Hard disk: Seagate ES.2, 500 GB
- Cooler : Evercool bumble-bee
- Power unit: SilverStone DA750
- Operating system: Windows vista ultimate SP1
- Driver: ForceWare 180.84 Beta
For achievement of maximum loads , furMark 1.50 was used in the test regime ( stability checking ).
In this case the 65- nm GeForce GTX 260 proved to be colder at both (under load and at the rest state ). After removing the cooler the reason became explicit. The cooler in the 55 nm video card version is worse .
System with the new GPU consumed less energy at the rest state, but 10 W more under load (Due to the updated PCB and power system).
In this case the new 55 NM video card has a good overclocking potential : 720 MHz core (reference 576 MHz) and 2260 MHz for the memory. In this case the 65- nm card showed on the same system the maximum result of 675 MHz for the core. Related Products :
