A Closer Look

Palit's thermal solution uses four heatpipes to transport heat away from the GPU to a large heatsink, where the three fans take care of removing it from the card.


For voltage control the card uses a NCP 4206 controller, this is the first time I see this controller, and there is no info available online regarding its features.


The GDDR5 memory chips are made by Hynix, and carry the model number H5GQ2H24MFR-R0C. They are specified to run at 1500 MHz (6000 MHz GDDR5 effective).


NVIDIA's new GK104 graphics processor introduces the company's brand-new Kepler architecture. It is NVIDIA's first chip to be produced on a 28 nanometer process, at TSMC Taiwan. The transistor count is 3.54 billion.
