Gainward HD 4670 512MB

Gainward ได้เปิดตัวการ์ดรุ่นใหม่ HD 4670 โดยการ์ดรุ่นใหม่มาพร้อม PCB สีแดง มีความเร็วในการทำงาน 750MHz สำหรับ GPU และมาพร้อมหน่วยความจำ 512MB GDDR3 ความเร็ว 2,000MHz (2×1000MHz) ตัวการ์ดกินพื้นที่ 2 สล๊อต มาพร้อมพอร์ต HDMI, dual link DVI, D-Sub VGA

ที่มา - fudzilla

หากมีผู้นำการ์ดจอของ Gainward เข้ามาขายในประเทศไทยแล้วล่ะก็ Gainward HD4760 ก็คงเป็นการ์ดจอที่มีความหน้าสนใจไม่น้อย เพราะเป็นการ์ดจอระดับกลางที่มี Port เชื่อมต่อมาให้แบบครบครัน ไม่ว่าจะเป็น D-Sub, DVI-I, HDMI และ Display Port ครับ ที่สำคัญการตัวนี้ยังกินพื้นที่ถึง 2 slot อีกด้วย แต่ก็ดีตรงที่มันระบายความร้อนได้ดีกว่า ref Card ที่ใช้พื้นที่เพียง 1 Slot ครับ

การ์ดตัวนี้มีความเร็ว Core ของ GPU อยู่ที่ 750 MHz และมาพร้อมกับหน่วยความจำชนิด GDDR3 512MB ความเร็ว 2GHz ซึ่งเป็นไปตามมาตรฐานของทาง ATI ตั้งไว้ครับ

The Gainward "Goes like Hell" 8600GT

At first glance, this 8600GT from Gainward is quite odd looking. Around the hidden cooler, and around the edges of the whole card is a large black and red grill; the GPU's first burkha. I've been told by Gainward that this is merely for aesthetic purposes, there is no cooling benefit from it.

Cooler

Taking off the large shroud/grill you can see the cooler underneath. It's a simple petal cooler design with a small, central fan surrounded by large black heatsink fins.

Placed ontop of the memory chips are some chunky, crimson RAM sinks which look very similar to the Vvikoo 8600GT ones.

The cooling setup is held on by 4, small low profile screws. They shouldn't cause any clearance issues during installation.

If you take apart the cooler, you can see that the fan is made by a company called T&T.

Naked core. Always a crowd pleaser.

Power

The fan is powered by a small 2pin connector which sits neatly on the motherboard. No cable management needed here.

The card itself, requires a 6pin PCI-e power cable to run. The connector for this can be found at the front end:

Connectivity

At the rea of the card you have several ports: one DVI, one VGA and a single HDMI. The latter port allows you to directly feed your HD TV from your computer without the need for a DVI to HDMI converter.

This 8600GT has a single SLI bridge connector which allows two cards to be linked together for up to twice the performance of a single card.

Installation

Installation of 8600GT cards are usually problem free, and this one was no exception. However that cooling shroud is quite nice and unfortunately makes this a double slot card. Make sure you have some space next your main PCi-e 16x socket for this wide boy to park itself.

Packaging

The packaging on the Gainward 8600GT PCX is the usual Gainward fare with a rendered lass on the front and the "Golden Sample Goes Like Hell" sticker added to show that this SKU is one of gainwards flagship cherry picked Golden Sample chips.

Inside the box wraps the card up well as we have come to expect from Gainward.

The usual good stuff from Gainward here then, let's look at the bundle.

The Package

Here's what you get with the Gainward Bliss 8600 GT:

* Quick Install Manual

* Driver CD

* Cyberlink DVD Solution

* VGA to Composite converter

* Dual Molex to PCI-e 6PIN power converter.

The package that you get with the Gainward 8600 GT PCX isn't bad, but it isn't fantastic either. Software wise you get a full edition of Cyberlink DVD Solution, which is great and fits in with the media theme. Hardware wise you get a dual molex to PCI-e 6PIn power and a VGA to Composite lead.

The card - close up

The Gainward Bliss 8600 GT PCX Golden Sample "Goes Like Hell" Edition 256mb (catch your breath now) is a nice looking card with a rather attractive red heatsink and red PCB with black trimmings.

Something to note straight away is that this is a dual slot heatsink, which is a little surprising seeing as this card is aimed at media PC's and is designed with an HDMI output.

Certainly an unusual looking card, the small black aluminium heatsink sits below a mesh front. This card is certainly one for those who have a case window, it is very stylish.

As you can see, the heatsink is neatly covered by a black mesh. There are additional sinks for the memory and PWM's which is good to see as well.

Power comes from a single PCI-e 6PIN connecter in the usual place at the end of the cooler.

The standout feature of this card is the HDMI output available. Obviously the DVI and HDMI are equipped with HDCP as well, making this card an ideal compliment to a nice HDTV setup. Again we see that the card takes up a full two slots on the motherboard, which is a bit of a shame.

The Cooler

The cooler on the card is a pretty basic affair, but appears to do the job. Running at 48°C idle and 59°C load I expected it to be worse considering it's not the largest chunk of metal.

The fan on the cooler runs very quiet even when ramped up so it is appropriate for a living room, although a passive cooler would obviously be a better choice. Of course, Gainward do make a passive 8600 GT as well.

The cooler is very basic with a black painted aluminium affair but luckily the 8600 GT chip still manages to keep fairly cool.

Benchmarks Used

Again, Overclock3D has revised it's benchmark setup to really test the new DX10 GPU's, while still including some old favourites in there:

Synthetic Benchmarks

Please note all Synthetic benchmarks were run at stock settings; just as the free ones would be, as well as 1920 x 1200, with 4 x AA added. All benchmarks are repeated three times for consistency.
