MSI launched the GeForce GTX 660 HAWK, which was first pictured in mid-September. The card makes use of a custom-design PCB with 10-phase VRM, and features factory-overclocked speeds of 1085 MHz core, 1150 MHz GPU Boost, and 6.00 GHz memory (GDDR5-effective). It packs 2 GB of memory across a 192-bit wide memory interface. Another major component is its Twin Frozr IV cooler, which uses a dense aluminum fin stack to which head directly draw from the GPU is fed by a number of nickel-plated copper heat pipes. The card uses an external GPU Reactor module that conditions power for the GPU, stabilizing OC. It is expected to be priced around US $250.

MSI is working on a premium factory-overclocked graphics card based on the GeForce GTX 650 Ti, giving it the coveted HAWK brand extension attached with top performance-segment graphics cards from its lineup. The card uses the same exact PCB as the one used in MSI's GTX 650 Ti Power Edition; the Cyclone II cooler is swapped for the beefier Twin Frozr IV, and clock speeds increased beyond those of the Power Edition OC (although not disclosed). Pricing and availability information is not available, but we expect the card to be launched a little later this month.

For those who prefer more (albeit slower) video memory, MSI announced a new Radeon HD 7750 graphics card featuring 2 GB of DDR3 memory, compared to the 1 GB GDDR5 standard. The new card, bearing model number R7750-PMD2GD3, features custom design PCB and cooling solution. The PCB is 16.8 cm long, and relies on the PCI-Express slot for power. The cooler, on the other hand, consists of a full-length shroud, covering a round fan-heatsink with spirally-projecting aluminum fins, ventilated by a 70 mm MSI Propeller Blade fan.

The GPU is clocked at 800 MHz, with the memory running at 1.60 GHz (DDR3-effective). The 2 GB of memory is spread across a 128-bit wide interface.
