We've all fired up RivaTuner, ATITool, and nTune to squeeze out a little more performance out of our videocards, but is there an easier way? Asus thinks so, and they've made overclocking their EN8600GT as easy as turning a dial. Join HardwareLogic as we take 'er for a spin...literally.
The GPU market's a diverse world, with products ranging from vanilla reference designs, to cards sporting pre-installed water cooling blocks and bodacious lifetime warranties. We've seen fanless videocards aimed towards HTPC gurus, and dual-slot blowers slapped onto single-slot cards for that extra cooling oomph. But just when we thought companies had run out of innovations, Asus threw a curve ball onto the GPU playing field.
Overclocking; volume; fan speed. What do these all have in common? They can all be adjusted with the turn of a dial! And not only that, but the nifty breakout box Asus includes with their EN8600GT adds a touch of aesthetic flair to your drab looking chassis. But does it work? And equally important, should you care? We answer these questions and more, so don't you dare think about navigating away!
