14 DAY TRIAL // An already considerable collection of graphics cards has increased by one, Courtesy of Club 3D, whose labs just spawned the GeForce GTX 560TI CoolStream adapter.
The GeForce GTX 560TI graphics card from NVIDIA could be said to possess all the features a good video board could need, and then some.
Though not precisely a high-end card, it can still run pretty much every game out there, and smoothly too.
Club 3D decided it could do better, though, at least in games played at Full HD resolution (1.920 x 1,080 pixels).
As such, it built a GTX 560TI with double the video memory capacity and dubbed it GeForce GTX 560Ti CoolStream Edition.
In other words, instead of 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM, it boasts 2 GB (2,048 instead of 1,024 MB).
That said, the graphics processing unit (GF114 GPU) works at a frequency of 822 MHz, while the VRAM has a clock speed of 4,008 MHz.
Meanwhile, the CUDA cores, 384 in number, have their own operational frequency, of 1,645 MHz.
The name of the card comes from the CoolStream technology, which relies on a cooler with a special heatsink and two fans (with an airflow-optimizing fan blade design).
Finally, Club 3D's GeForce GTX 560 TI CoolStream Edition has dual-DVI and HDMI 1.4a ports, plus support for OpenGl 4.2, 3D Vision Surround, SLI (multi-GPU configurations) and PhysX (among other things).
The price of the item is not outright specified, but it shouldn't be too far from the $250-270 mark (185-200 Euro). A Battlefield 3 limited edition of the board will be marketed as well.
Buyers just need to make sure that their configuration can handle the 160W load of this thing.
With that out of the way, there will be nothing stopping them from experiencing the latest games in all their DirectX 11 glory. Go here for more details.
