All right, guys. So, this is a pretty interesting benchmark run. Not because
0:05
I'm running my typical Battlefield Bad Company 2 test sequence, but actually
0:10
because I am not running the card at stock speed
0:15
right now. I am testing an overclocked setting on the GTX 560Ti Twin Frozer 2
0:21
from MSI. And that overclocked setting, I think, is going to impress you.
0:27
So, what I'm doing right now is I'm getting things running pretty warm so
0:31
that uh we have an accurate representation of what this card is
0:36
going to experience in a gaming condition in terms of temperatures, in
0:40
terms of noise levels. And I guess if you want to throw the camera close to
0:44
the card while I'm sort of pwning AI
0:47
noobs here,
0:51
that should give you some idea approximately how loud it is. like it's
0:54
not it's not like a haird dryer. Like if you guys remember the video I did where
0:59
I cranked the GTX 580 up to the maximum
1:02
fan speed. So I believe the fan speed it's running at is about 55% which
1:07
really isn't that bad. And uh wait until
1:11
you see what frequency we're running at on this GPU cuz it's a bit of a
1:15
milestone frequency if you know what I mean. So yeah. Yeah,
1:20
the FPS are good. Although it's hard to um it's hard to really compare when you
1:24
haven't seen my original benchmark run. But I'll tell you guys now. I'll spoil
1:28
one surprise is that performance is a good 10%
1:33
or more better than at stock speeds.
1:36
Although I've only done one benchmark run through with the overclocked
1:40
setting. So there's a little bit of plus or minus because I am doing a custom run
1:44
through rather than running a canned benchmark. So, there are advantages to
1:48
doing a custom run through and that it's more representative of actual gameplay
1:51
if you're a total noob and you play like me with the noob tube. Um,
1:57
but the drawback is that the results are less consistent. So, you do have to do
2:01
more runthroughs to get something usable. So, I'm actually done the run
2:05
through here. We I don't Oh, no. I never started it because I had my FPS in the
2:09
corner. Oh, well. The point is this.
2:12
When we close the game, we are running
2:16
at a GPU frequency of 1 gigahertz. Okay,
2:21
I have not touched the RAM. Temperatures
2:24
have not gone over 62°, which according to our temperature probe here, the room
2:29
temps are 26. So that's only about what
2:33
30 35 36 some odd degrees delta between
2:37
the room temperature and our max load temperatures. Fan speed, as I mentioned
2:42
before, never went above I said 55, it's actually 58% which is quite respectable.
2:47
So, yes, the GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozer 2
2:51
from MSI was able to achieve an
2:55
overclock up to 1 GHz on the core. And
2:58
you can actually see the voltage we're using. I don't know if I need that much voltage cuz I'm just kind of tinkering
3:03
around with things and dialing it in. I can probably do it with less volts than
3:07
that, but even pumping volts like that through the GPU, the temperatures still
3:13
barely break 60°. So, that's pretty
3:16
cool. So, thank you for checking out my little overclocking video on the GeForce
3:20
GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozer 2 from MSI.
