Graphics Cards
Gainward GeForce GTX 770 Phantom OC 2GB Review
Aliens Vs Predator is a science fiction first-person shooter computer game that relies on DirectX 11 and high amounts of Tessellation in conjunction to give enhanced shadows and fantastic textures to the surrounds and characters within the game.
Beautiful looking!
I haven’t seen a Gainward product for donkey years now, I almost forgot they existed.
Gainward are actually one of the biggest brands in the entire market as they are a joint brand with Palit – http://www.eteknix.com/asus-knocked-off-top-graphics-card-vendor-pedestal-by-palit-and-pc-partner/
So I believe. Their graphics cards were a very common sight here years ago, now we only see them sporadically at some e-tailers unlike the big names such as Gigabyte, EVGA, MSI & Asus which you can practically pick up at you local barber shop.
You have never seen a Gainward card? They have been around for ages and are always very good. Find this hard to believe!
I haven’t either there not sold in certain countries that’s why. I can fin most other brands easily except theirs..
Oh, God! Thank you eTeknix! I finally decide, what video card I need and want.
What do you mean by “Stock Memory Speeds” as a con? Is it lower than others?
Good review, thanks! I’ve never seen that brand here in the US.
My Phantom in the games goes to 2000rpm+ its normal?
Hey.. you clocked it, yes .. but, what is the temps saing, when you play the game ??
I discussed about the phantom on the msi twinfrozr page. I bought it a couple of weeks ago, and it is an awesome card. The phantom is really silent up until the 40% fan use. From then, it is as audible as my cpu fan when put at 2500rpm. Starting from 60-70%, you start to really hear it, but it’s still nothing compared to other cards or when you insert a CD.
As for overclocking, i managed with air cooling to push it to 1,190Mhz of clock, and 1,773 Mhz of memory
, which is close to what @RyanTheGerman:disqus expected of it, so either i’m a second silicon lottery lucky, or the card is really good. With 100% fan speed, on 3Dmark Vantage demostration (performance) bench, i never get above 64C°. (The score? between 37998 and 39374 for GPU). One weird thing, checking with afterburner, i notice that i never reach 100% GPU usage…? So i still have room for improvement, but i suck at OC so i’ll keep it at that 😛
Thanks again Ryan for your advices, and hope my post will help!
