MSI NX8600GT-T2D256E OC
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

As you could see from the pictures posted on the previous page, this video card uses a very simple aluminum cooler, which doesn’t touch the memory chips, as you can see on Figure 4.

On Figure 5 you can see this video card without its cooler.

This video card uses four GDDR3 512-Mbit 1.4 ns chips from Samsung (K4J52324QE-BC14) as you can see on Figure 6, making the 256 MB of memory this video card has. These chips can officially run up to 1.4 GHz (700 MHz x 2) and since on this video card the memory chips are running at 1.6 GHz they are already overclocked, running 14.28% above their official spec.

This video card doesn’t come with any game. On Figure 7 you can see the video component cable, the S-Video cable, the two DVI-to-VGA adaptors and the driver CD-ROM that come with the reviewed card.
