by techPowerUp!Today, we're reviewing the EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SuperClocked ACX, a non-reference design, factory-overclocked GTX 970 graphics card, which comes with a custom-design PCB, and the company's signature ACX cooler, which features an aluminium stack heatsink that uses a trio of copper heat pipes, to draw heat directly from the GPU die, and dissipate it under the airflow of two 80 mm fans.
by techPowerUp! (Jun, 2011)The GTX 580 MATRIX comes overclocked out of the box, but the factory overclock speeds aren't spectacular, so to say.
