Summary
Whether the card is better than the in-house and very similar GamingRock Premium Edition, let's face it. You'd rather answer it with Jain. The fact is that without the Vortex coolers, which are very high in construction, you can provide a little more cooler area. However, the 15 rotor blades of the two fans are too much oriented towards static pressure, which cools at the end, but also becomes clearly audible.
The reason for this effort in cooling is due to the power target, which is simply set far too high at 300 watts ex works. More sufficent 275 watts would certainly have done the same, which would have significantly reduced the power consumption and thus also the waste heat. What you don't produce as waste heat, you don't have to cool it off later.
The implementation of the heat sink for the voltage converters is almost perfect and corresponds almost identically to what we had repeatedly demanded. One hardly finds thermal hotspots and for the occurring losses the measured result is really good. It is doubly annoying that the card is so unbalanced with the power target and the fan curve.
We would therefore strongly recommend that the Power Target be increased by approx. eight to 10 percent manually. This creates temperatures almost 8 Kelvin lower and even slightly higher boost time in the warmed-up state!
In the end, therefore, little criticism remains open, which actually speaks for Palit. The most important thing we have now juxtaposed once again:
Per |
Balanced |
Cons |
---|---|---|
– Relatively short – Hardly coil feathers – Voltage transformer cooling – Not excessively heavy |
– Acceptable cooler – Power consumption |
– Relatively noisy – Too high a power target – High power consumption |
Conclusion
We would not want to give an explicit purchase tip directly because of the deficits in the power target and the associated consequences, but a purchase recommendation for all those who do not squeeze out the very last bit of performance with manual overclocking. but in return can also live with a lowering of the power target, which can even bring advantages at the beat.
Overall, the map makes a good impression and it could certainly position itself even better with a suitable BIOS update. Those who trust themselves with the manual changes can now access without hesitation, if it is not and must not be the Megadragonhyperblingbling card.
