ASUS Develops New Feature-Rich GeForce GTS 450 Overclocked Graphics Card

jmke · 6th December 2010, 14:45

ASUS is designing a new GeForce GTS 450 graphics card that is factory overclocked, and makes use of some innovative new features. To begin with, the card is clocked at 810 MHz for the core, 1620 MHz CUDA cores, and 902 MHz (3608 GDDR5 effective) for memory. It makes use of a 4-phase VRM with POSCAP capacitors, an EMI shield, and GPU Guard technology that increases durability. On the other side of the coin ofcourse, there's the VoltageTweak feature that lets you adjust voltages to optimize an overclocked speed profile. Display outputs include one each of DVI, D-Sub, and full-sized HDMI, The GTS 450 is based on the GF106 GPU, it features 192 CUDA cores and connects to 1 GB of memory over a 128-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface.

GTS 450 @ 810Mhz GPU? Why?
They already have a 925Mhz model: http://www.madshrimps.be/articles/ar...tCU-TOP-Review

This is also more confusing if we are thinking the full 500 series lineup is just around the corner.

5xx series is midrange, high end and ultra high end AFAIK, 4xx will remain entry level

They might as well discontinue the 400 series (and, of course, re-brand some of the GPUs) and continue only with the 500 series refresh.

At least they have started to re-brand the 400M GPUs to 500M
