Gainward Bliss 9600GT Golden Sample

Now the Gainward model, featuring a very pleasant design, clock frequencies higher than the standard and HDMI and DisplayPort connections. The core on this card works at 700Mhz, 50Mhz more than the standard version. The shaders are clocked at 1750Mhz (1625Mhz standard) and the 512MB of memory are set at 1000Mhz, 100Mhz more than the standard. These settings will guarantee, as it’ll be seen on the tests, a better performance on this card.

The cooling system is also worth mentioning. Underneath the black-and-red plastic cover that gives a particular design to the Gainward cards, there’s a heatsink with a copper base, aluminium fins and copper heatpipes. On the top of it all, a 70mm fan. The memory chips are also covered by an aluminum board, which keeps them cooled thanks to the fan.
