The Card
Absolute
Multimedia certainly didn't skimp on their GTS card. Take a look at those
objects to the right and above the GPU heatsink/fan unit. Absolute has shipped
their units with heatsinks attached to the ram. Under those heatsinks resides
Infineon 6ns DDR memory. What isn't visible is that on the reverse of the
card sit two identical heatsinks each also covering two of the Infineon chips.
Adding ramsinks to a video card has become a way to get more performance out
of the ram.
Next, look
at the heatsink/fan unit. While most cards will be shipped with a small square
heatsink with a fan on it the Ourageous GeForce2 GTS ships with an oversized
round (orb-like) heatsink. Absolute chose this heatsink/fan becuase in their
own testing this unit ran 10 degrees F cooler than the fan used by their competition.
That's what I like to see: a company who tinkers with their product until
they feel that it is ready for the rabid overclocking masses.
