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

00:00:05.920 --> 00:00:12.880
featuring the twin frozer 3 cooler twin

00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:15.519
frozer 3 there's the logo thing so

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

00:00:18.840 --> 00:00:26.080
zoom zoom zoom there it is all right MSI

00:00:21.840 --> 00:00:28.199
Haw okay so uh basically the max

00:00:26.080 --> 00:00:32.000
overclock I was able to achieve on this particular card going to use my manual

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:36.800
brightness settings there we are you can actually read that now so I was able to

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:41.399
turn up not only the core voltage but also the memory voltage and auxiliary

00:00:39.320 --> 00:00:47.559
voltage because of the non reference Hawk PCB so I was able to get my core

00:00:44.039 --> 00:00:50.280
clock up past 1 gz now I was able to run

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

00:00:54.079 --> 00:00:59.199
be 24/7 stable okay without temperatures

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

00:01:03.079 --> 00:01:10.439
Shader clock is obviously locked to the core clock as with most of the uh recent

00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:13.680
generation NVIDIA cards memory clock you know what doesn't have a huge impact on

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

00:01:15.960 --> 00:01:21.439
little impact on performance though it's all about the core clock on this

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

00:01:23.799 --> 00:01:30.119
Benchmark um at the

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:33.000
reference clock speed so I will go ahead and run it at reference clock speeds

00:01:31.479 --> 00:01:37.880
which actually aren't that much lower remember this card is overclocked to 950

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

00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:45.920
got from overclocking the graphics card okay so there's clearly not much

00:01:43.720 --> 00:01:53.119
improvement in performance to be had by overclocking the GTX 560 Hawk Edition

00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:55.000
card from MSI but there are definitely

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

00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:02.680
than the regular GTX 560 twin frozer 2

00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:07.520
there's also the fact that it has a better PCB which includes I mean among

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

00:02:11.480 --> 00:02:16.480
um where is it the what is this the oh

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

00:02:19.239 --> 00:02:25.120
fans we've got this rigidity plate for

00:02:22.519 --> 00:02:28.879
the PCB itself to keep it from flexing when it's installed in your case which

00:02:26.640 --> 00:02:32.040
the regular twin frozer 2 does not one of the other improvements they've made

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

00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:38.840
card rather than the back of the card which means that the overall length of

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

00:02:41.239 --> 00:02:49.400
good uh overhangs the PCB a little bit whereas here it does not the twin frozer

00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:51.840
3 does not do that you get the propeller

00:02:49.400 --> 00:02:57.920
style fans rather than the more traditional SW blade fans

00:02:55.879 --> 00:03:01.080
and yeah and then you get the factory overclock so since you can't push it

00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:04.720
that much over the factory overclock that's pretty much to be expected we're

00:03:02.519 --> 00:03:09.879
pretty close to the limits of a GTX 560 GPU you still get that factory overclock

00:03:07.239 --> 00:03:15.239
which is significantly more than the 560 TI twin frozer 2 which in spite of the

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

00:03:18.799 --> 00:03:24.799
Hawk this is a true 560 Hawk not just

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:29.280
with a twin frozer cooler on it so thank you for checking out my little
