14 DAY TRIAL // With the release of NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 graphics card, it is no surprise that NVIDIA's partners are throwing out their own boards, and TGT seems to be preparing something particularly unusual.
As soon as NVIDIA launched the first mainstream GeForce 500 series graphics adapter (this happened just hours ago), its manufacturing partners, of course, jumped in to show off their own inventions.
Already one or more boards were launched by the likes of Palit, Gigabyte, Zotac and EVGA, among others.
Some of these custom models have factory overclocking, others even double the amount of memory as the reference board (Palit GTX 560 Ti 2GB is an example of this).
Point of View also delivered a custom-designed iteration of the adapter, and it seems that TGT might do something similar soon enough.
According to a certain report, the TGT overclocking company is devising a GTX 560 which, under certain circumstances, should be able to breach the 1 GHz limit.
Already there are factory overclocked boards with GPU speeds of 900 MHz, but jumping yet another 100 MHz is no small feat, especially knowing that the base clock is of 822 MHz.
TGT intends to make use of two features in this endeavor, one being the implementation of two 8-pin power connectors.
NVIDIA's model has one 8-pin and one 6-pin plug, but TGT will supposedly get “GTX 580 like” overclocking by means of two connectors of the former sort.
The other necessary addition is the AC triple Zen cooler, which has, among other things, a backplate.
Needless to say, the beast will have full support for DirectX 11, PhysX, CUDA, SLI (for multi-GPU setups) and 3D Vision Surround (for triple-monitor 3D scenarios).
There is no way of knowing the specs of the product or the price tag, but it should only be a matter of time before everything becomes clear.
