3D Mark 11 results with the GTX 560 Hawk featuring the twin frozer 3 cooler twin frozer 3 there's the logo thing so that's with the Dual 80 mil fans you can see the hawk logo on the PCB down there zoom zoom zoom there it is all right MSI Haw okay so uh basically the max overclock I was able to achieve on this particular card going to use my manual brightness settings there we are you can actually read that now so I was able to turn up not only the core voltage but also the memory voltage and auxiliary voltage because of the non reference Hawk PCB so I was able to get my core clock up past 1 gz now I was able to run benchmarks higher than this up to about uh 1.05 GHz but this was what I found to be 24/7 stable okay without temperatures going through the roof uh you can't see it here I ran the back Benchmark a while ago but it Peaks at around 70° okay Shader clock is obviously locked to the core clock as with most of the uh recent generation NVIDIA cards memory clock you know what doesn't have a huge impact on performance but this is as high as I was able to get stable like I said very little impact on performance though it's all about the core clock on this particular card so now what I'm going to do is I actually never even ran the Benchmark um at the reference clock speed so I will go ahead and run it at reference clock speeds which actually aren't that much lower remember this card is overclocked to 950 MHz out of the box and I will find out how much of a performance Improvement we got from overclocking the graphics card okay so there's clearly not much improvement in performance to be had by overclocking the GTX 560 Hawk Edition card from MSI but there are definitely some advantages to it so there's the fact that it doesn't cost that much more than the regular GTX 560 twin frozer 2 there's also the fact that it has a better PCB which includes I mean among other things okay we've got the V check points which are here we've also got the um where is it the what is this the oh yeah we've got the uh different profiles for the fans so you can go to Performance mode or silent mode for the fans we've got this rigidity plate for the PCB itself to keep it from flexing when it's installed in your case which the regular twin frozer 2 does not one of the other improvements they've made to the PCB design is also the fact that the PCIe plugs come out the top of the card rather than the back of the card which means that the overall length of it is a little bit less you can see the twin frozer 2 whoa it fell that's no good uh overhangs the PCB a little bit whereas here it does not the twin frozer 3 does not do that you get the propeller style fans rather than the more traditional SW blade fans and yeah and then you get the factory overclock so since you can't push it that much over the factory overclock that's pretty much to be expected we're pretty close to the limits of a GTX 560 GPU you still get that factory overclock which is significantly more than the 560 TI twin frozer 2 which in spite of the covered up Hawk that's down there on the PCB cuz it's the same PCB as the GTX 460 Hawk this is a true 560 Hawk not just with a twin frozer cooler on it so thank you for checking out my little overclocking Adventure on the GTX 560 hawky Edition from MSI don't forget to subscribe to L's Tech tips for more unboxings reviews and
