For a very small price increase, Gigabyte has released the Black Edition video cards to the market, which guarantee stability of the received product after internal burn-in tests during a 168-hour period; these products are great to be installed in workstations which need to perform important tasks without unnecessary interruptions. The manufacturer has also applied a consistent factory overclock to the GPU, from 1020MHz and Boost 1085MHz which are the OEM clocks to 1163MHz with a Boost of 1242MHz. This is not all! The card is quite overclockable and without raising the GPU voltages we were able to climb in frequency quite a bit:

With the stock card speeds, we would recommend gaming at 1680x1050 resolutions with medium to high levels of details, while being careful with the settings when going up to Full HD, since depending on the game we might experience different performance levels.

The WindForce 2x cooling system is a miniature version of the one we can find on the Gigabyte high-end cards and does its job very well, despite the fact that it only has a single heatpipe. The card is barely noticeable when in 2D, while in high-load 3D continues to be quite silent, while keeping the temperatures to low levels.

The card can be found online for about 134 euros, while other cards with no overclock and simple cooling are available for about 115 Euros. The extra tax counts for the efficient dual-fan cooling system, guaranteed card overclock but also the useful 168 hours of continuous stress testing, which we think that is completely fair.
