october 6 2010 review by tweaktown

This video card was probably the slowest variation of the GTS 450 models the reviewers have tested to date, but it's also the cheapest. The cooling solution is very good with low temperatures.

Compared To:

Galaxy GTS 450 Super OC, Sapphire HD 5750, Gigabyte HD 5770 Silent Cell and ECS Black GTX 460.

Benchmarks:

Fan Noise, Overall Performance, Power Consumption, Total Value, Badaboom, Batman: Arkham Aslyum, BattleForge, Company Of Heroes, Dark void, Darkest of Days, Elcomsoft Wireless Security Auditor, Far Cry 2, H.A.W.X, High Quality AA and AF, Resident Evil V, Sound Test, Temperature Test.

Overclocking:

The reviewers did not perform any overclocking. The cooling solution might make this graphics card a perfect overclocker though.
