Inno3D iChill GTX275 Tested - TechAmok
Inno3D iChill GTX275 Tested - [hardware] 04:24 AM EDT - May,13 2009 - post a comment OCC has published a new review of the Inno3D iChill
GTX275. The card comes with 896MB of GDDR3 clocked at
2350MHz, the core running at 670MHz, and shaders at 1474MHz, all on a
55nm fabrication process with 240 stream processors. Overall, the card
matches specifications of a GTX 280/285 and half of a GTX 295 on stream
processors, and matches a GTX 260 and GTX 295 with 896MB of memory.
Power usage and efficiency, along with overall clock speed and
overclocking ability, should be improved over the older GTX 280, while
the smaller memory bus (448-bit) and 128MB less memory may take a
little away from the card compared to the 512-bit 1GB memory on the GTX
280/285s.
The only major downfall to this card is that the memory chips are not
cooled by heatsinks, save for three of the 14 that are used as props
mainly to keep pressure on the forward-mounted chip, thus limiting the
overclocking capability of the memory. The video card does have an
audio connection, but does not come with an audio cable or DVI to HDMI
converter to allow HDMI usage with the card out of the box, for users
who prefer or rely upon HDMI connections. Finally, the card is longer
than reference GTX 275s by quite a bit (it's 12" long), which could
pose a problem for cramped cases. All of these are really minor points
however, since HDMI is not too common yet and is merely not supported
out of box, and that RAM-sinks would not add much more headroom
– although it still would have been a nice feature to find.
Also, users with small cases should make sure that there is enough room
for this graphics card since it is so long, with proper preparation,
problems can be avoided!
Pros:
* Free games Company of Heroes Opposing
Fronts and Warmonger
* Great cooling performance
* Overclocking potential
* Quiet operation
* Good packaging
Cons:
* Memory not cooled with heatsinks
* No HDMI support out of box
* Size - longer than reference
