Zaključak

Gigabyte je još jednom impresionirao. GTX580 SuperOverclock je izvrsno posložena kartica koja u svemu daleko ispred referentnih modela i koja će zadovoljiti sve profile igrača, ali i ekstremne overclockere. Sve naravno koji si ju mogu priuštiti jer joj je cijena u Njemačkoj nemalih 480 €. To je za oko 60 do 80 € skuplje nego primjerice standardne Gigabyteove GTX580 izvedbe. No, za tu cijenu dobit ćete karticu koja je napravljena bez ikakvih kompromisa, s najboljim komponentama, sa odličnom 12+2 faznom napojnom jedinicom, ručno izabranim GPU-om i na kraju s odličnim hlađenjem. Mi smo s OC Guru aplikacijom osnovni GPU takt od 855MHz dogurali do čak 980MHz što je za oko 27% iznad Nvidijinih referentnih vrijednosti. Ni pod LN2 za koju je posebno opremljena neće razočarati – Šveđani su ju naime na preko 1500MHz natjerali! Dovoljno to govori koliko je ova GTX580 SuperOverclock kartica moćan komad hardvera koji svom vlasniku jamči ekskluzivnost ali barem još dvije godine bezbrižnog igranja u maksimalnim detaljima.

 

Conclusion

Gigabyte managed to impress once again. GTX580 SuperOverclock is a great card which is miles in front of reference model, and which will satisfy not only all type of gamers, but also extreme overclockers. From the financial side, it will satisfy everyone who have 480 € to spare. That is between 60 an 80 € more than for example other Gigabyte GTX580 models. But, for that price you get a product which is made without any compromises, with best components, with robust 14-phase PWM design, cherry picked GPU and with great cooling system. We managed to push it from 855MHz all the way to 980MHz for the GPU which is about 27% above Nvidia specifications. This card is even prepared for the LN2 cooling, and as we have seen some Swedish overclockers pushed it as far as 1550MHz for the GPU! That we think, says enough of this mighty piece of hardware, which guaranties exclusivity to its owner and at least two more years of care free gaming in highest details.
