11/12/2022 0 Comments Gigabyte oc guru memory monitor![]() While it’s not included in the box or listed on the box, the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC works with Gigabyte’s OC Guru II overclocking software, which is available on Gigabyte’s website. Rounding out the package is the usual collection of power adapters and a quick start guide. With the increasing performance and ubiquity of iGPUs, VGA ports have finally started to fall out of favor, so Gigabyte is alone in shipping their card with a VGA port instead of a DVI-I to VGA dongle. Gigabyte’s card uses a stacked DL-DVI-D design, augmenting that with a full-size HDMI port and a VGA port. Meanwhile along with the minor PCB changes Gigabyte has changed the display ports to fit their needs. Gigabyte has equipped the card 2GB of Hynix 6GHz GDDR5, so when you overclock – and with a cooler this big you must – there is at a minimum a fair bit of memory headroom to play with. Outside of cooling, Gigabyte’s card is otherwise very typical for a GTX 650 Ti. Because of the length (and significant overhang) of the Windforce cooler, Gigabyte’s card measures 9.3” long and you’ll need an extra inch of vertical clearance too to fit the behemoth. As we’ll see it’s going to be very effective, but in all likelihood it’s overkill out of the box. In fact “ridiculously large” is about the single best two-word description there is for the GTX 650 Ti OC’s Windforce cooler. Meanwhile air movement is provided by a pair of ridiculously large 100mm fans that run the length of the heatsink. Though the design of the cooler in use depends on the specific model of card, all of Gigabyte’s Windforce coolers share the same basic design, featuring a long aluminum heatsink that runs the length of the card (if not beyond), attached to the GPU through the use of copper heatpipes (2 in the case of the GTX 650 Ti). The PCB itself is clearly based on NVIDIA’s (right down to the 5.75” length) and is otherwise unremarkable, but Gigabyte’s cooler is another Windforce 2X cooler, making it significant different from the much smaller open air coolers on the rest of the cards we’ve seen. With the weakest factory overclock of the bunch, Gigabyte’s claim to fame here will be their design, which significantly deviates from NVIDIA’s reference design. Meanwhile the memory clock is unchanged at 5.4GHz. Like the other cards in today’s review this is a factory overclocked model, with Gigabyte shipping the core clock at 1033MHz, 107MHz (12%) over reference and the same overclock as Zotac. Our final card of the day is Gigabyte’s entry, the GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 2GB. In closing, if you’re looking to further enhance the performance of your graphics card, you can certainly use GIGABYTE OC Guru to do just that.Meet The Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 Ti OC 2GB Windforce The ‘Green’ panel offers you the means to view power consumption data, the time a certain profile is active, as well as switch between the standard and saving modes. This way, you can switch between the settings in a simple and fast manner.įrom the ‘Gaming’ panel, besides the GPU and memory clocks, you are also able to adjust brightness, contrast and gamma, as well as set a custom keyboard shortcut that provides quick, on-screen access to the settings. You are able to save the overclocking adjustments that you make under different profiles and assign custom keys for them. In case you aren’t sure of the changes you need to make, you can click the ‘auto’ button and GIGABYTE OC Guru takes immediate action. You get the OC panel, which offers you the possibility to change GPU and memory voltages, fan speed and the clocks for GPU, shader and memory. The utility is structured into areas that are designed to serve different roles. The cards are more than capable of taking in some additional boost but you do need to be careful as to how much you force them because it can result in system instability and even hardware damage. Overlocking means that the video card is subjected to an increase in operating speed at the cost of power consumption, operating temperature and fan noise. Through a comprehensive interface, it grants you access to three panels which contain various parameters that influence the output of the component. The application enables you to overclock your video card in a simple manner. GIGABYTE OC Guru is a utility developed predominantly for gamers who are looking for a boost in performance. ![]()
