Thread: MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone 768 Graphic card

The MSI GeForce Cyclone attracts attention and leaves a very high quality and positive impression. The card is 21 cm with a lot longer the Gainward model of the GTX as 460th With the black PCB and the cooler silver card works very bulky. Also the weight is not bad. At least 520 grams brings the MSI model on the scale. The MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone is currently all the GTX 460 as a dual slot card.

The GPU of the MSI Cyclone is easily overclocked to 727 MHz from normal 675 MHz, the reference set are NVIDIA from. The clock increase is therefore 50 MHz, which are about 7.7%, which is a fairly moderate overclock compared to the Gainward card, the 18% overclock was about to. Also, the shader clock is 1455MHz only slightly higher than normal. The on-board memory is 900 MHz remained on what standard clock speeds for the GeForce GTX 460 meets. However, MSI used here the same memory modules as other manufacturers, the 1000 MHz overclock on.



The processing of the MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone can be compared with another GeForce GTX 460 high regard as well. The card is plastic caps for all ports and even the PCIe connector supplied with in order to avoid damage. The most striking feature of the MSI GTX 460 Cyclone Cyclone is definitely the cooler. This is a very exposed and fired from 90 mm fan is equipped with two 6 mm heat pipes. The copper base plate and heat pipes of the Cyclone condenser are nickel plated so as to look with the aluminum fins to provide a uniform.

The bottom plate of the cooler is only through the heat pipes cooled but not directly by the cooling fins and fans mounted above. Below find the cooler you can see one of the bare chip memory locations of the 768 MB model. The MSI GeForce GTX 460 Cyclone will soon namely as 1 GB version will be available here and share an identical PCB apparently in order to save costs.
