Simple review on GT440 with GDDR5 Memory !

[66684]

NVIDIA launched GT440 in February, but it is just GF108 core not OEM's GF106 core.
That means it is a overclocked GT430, so some GT440 come with GDDR5 memory to increase the distance between GT430 and GT440.


This time I brings you a ColaMax GT440 512MB GDDR5 below !

HDMI、D-Sub、DVI















The PCB















2+1 Phase PWM















GF108-300-A1 Core














Hynix H5GQ1H24AFR T2C GDDR5 Memory Chips















The heatsink















Full aluminum















Go test !








I have done some simple test with AMD low-end dual core system,
The platform :
AMD AthlonII x2 245
Biostar TA785G3 HD
2x 2GB DDRIII 1333




3DMark06 , 8842















3DMark Vantage , P4692
















Final Fantasy XIV , 1995















Heaven v2.1 , 18.5fps 466















Street Fighter IV , 9915 59.6fps















Furmark fullload 30min , 68C







With GDDR5 memory, GT440 is indeed a lot stronger than GT430, but this card is only priced around USD76.
So,it is naturally became the most cost-effective NVIDIA 128BIT GDDR5 graphics card, but its preformance still could not compare with 5670....
Fortunately, there are great NVIDIA 3D theatre experience and CUDA support....

Nice concise review. Good job.
However there are better options at the same price.

(I have the same card) On the Heaven demo I had bout 18FPS but then I OC'd it and now I get 20FPS... So I suggest OC'ing it...

ColaMax sounds like a product from pepsi or coca-cola
