1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:09,320
so here on the screen I have my 3D Mark 11 results with the GTX 560 Hawk

2
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:12,880
featuring the twin frozer 3 cooler twin

3
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:15,519
frozer 3 there's the logo thing so

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:21,840
that's with the Dual 80 mil fans you can see the hawk logo on the PCB down there

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:26,080
zoom zoom zoom there it is all right MSI

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:28,199
Haw okay so uh basically the max

7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:32,000
overclock I was able to achieve on this particular card going to use my manual

8
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:36,800
brightness settings there we are you can actually read that now so I was able to

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:41,399
turn up not only the core voltage but also the memory voltage and auxiliary

10
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:47,559
voltage because of the non reference Hawk PCB so I was able to get my core

11
00:00:44,039 --> 00:00:50,280
clock up past 1 gz now I was able to run

12
00:00:47,559 --> 00:00:57,680
benchmarks higher than this up to about uh 1.05 GHz but this was what I found to

13
00:00:54,079 --> 00:00:59,199
be 24/7 stable okay without temperatures

14
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:05,119
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

15
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:10,439
Shader clock is obviously locked to the core clock as with most of the uh recent

16
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:13,680
generation NVIDIA cards memory clock you know what doesn't have a huge impact on

17
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:17,920
performance but this is as high as I was able to get stable like I said very

18
00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:21,439
little impact on performance though it's all about the core clock on this

19
00:01:19,439 --> 00:01:25,360
particular card so now what I'm going to do is I actually never even ran the

20
00:01:23,799 --> 00:01:30,119
Benchmark um at the

21
00:01:27,439 --> 00:01:33,000
reference clock speed so I will go ahead and run it at reference clock speeds

22
00:01:31,479 --> 00:01:37,880
which actually aren't that much lower remember this card is overclocked to 950

23
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:42,360
MHz out of the box and I will find out how much of a performance Improvement we

24
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:45,920
got from overclocking the graphics card okay so there's clearly not much

25
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:53,119
improvement in performance to be had by overclocking the GTX 560 Hawk Edition

26
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:55,000
card from MSI but there are definitely

27
00:01:53,119 --> 00:02:00,439
some advantages to it so there's the fact that it doesn't cost that much more

28
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,680
than the regular GTX 560 twin frozer 2

29
00:02:00,439 --> 00:02:07,520
there's also the fact that it has a better PCB which includes I mean among

30
00:02:05,759 --> 00:02:14,720
other things okay we've got the V check points which are here we've also got the

31
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:16,480
um where is it the what is this the oh

32
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:22,519
yeah we've got the uh different profiles for the fans so you can go to Performance mode or silent mode for the

33
00:02:19,239 --> 00:02:25,120
fans we've got this rigidity plate for

34
00:02:22,519 --> 00:02:28,879
the PCB itself to keep it from flexing when it's installed in your case which

35
00:02:26,640 --> 00:02:32,040
the regular twin frozer 2 does not one of the other improvements they've made

36
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:35,840
to the PCB design is also the fact that the PCIe plugs come out the top of the

37
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,840
card rather than the back of the card which means that the overall length of

38
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:44,040
it is a little bit less you can see the twin frozer 2 whoa it fell that's no

39
00:02:41,239 --> 00:02:49,400
good uh overhangs the PCB a little bit whereas here it does not the twin frozer

40
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:51,840
3 does not do that you get the propeller

41
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:57,920
style fans rather than the more traditional SW blade fans

42
00:02:55,879 --> 00:03:01,080
and yeah and then you get the factory overclock so since you can't push it

43
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:04,720
that much over the factory overclock that's pretty much to be expected we're

44
00:03:02,519 --> 00:03:09,879
pretty close to the limits of a GTX 560 GPU you still get that factory overclock

45
00:03:07,239 --> 00:03:15,239
which is significantly more than the 560 TI twin frozer 2 which in spite of the

46
00:03:12,799 --> 00:03:22,200
covered up Hawk that's down there on the PCB cuz it's the same PCB as the GTX 460

47
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:24,799
Hawk this is a true 560 Hawk not just

48
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,280
with a twin frozer cooler on it so thank you for checking out my little
