Konklusion
MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition er et spændende bekendtskab. Kortet er forholdsvis billigt og skal/kan konkurrere direkte med AMD's HD5770-model. Kortet yder ganske glimrende i tests af enhver slags. Særligt under visse OpenGL-tests udviser kortet NVIDIA's kendte høje ydelse i denne type rendering. Kortet larmer ikke og ej heller er det et støjende bekendtskab ved overclocking og blæseren sat på 100%. Strømforbruget er dog højere, end det ses hos konkurrenten AMD. Kort og køleløsning er solidt bygget og af virkelig høj kvalitet. Kortet er stabilt, der medfølger god software, driverne er stabile og alle kan være med, såvel prismæssigt som brugsmæssigt. Særligt den kræsne forbruger, eller den krævende overclocker vil finde, at MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition er i særklasse.
Innovation/Teknologi - 4
GPU'en på kortet er NVIDIA's allernyeste og bygget på 40nm procesteknologi. Denne agfiver ikke meget varme og er nøjsom i drift ved normal brug. Dog er der et stort forbrug af strøm ved OC og fuld belastning. Konkurrenten AMD fformår, at presse deres kort i samme klasse 20-30 watt længere ned ved tomgang i Windows 7. 450GTS-GPU'en er dog nem at overclocke og afgiver impomerende lidt varme.
Bundle/Tilbehør - 4
Bundlet er ganske normalt for et kort i denne prisklasse og segment. Der er nemme vejledninger med der grafisk eller med fotos viser, hvordan kortet monteres og softwaren installeres. Alle relevante kabler og adaptere er vedlagt. Vi savner dog et spil af en slags, da DirectX-11 spil er blevet ganske billige og fås ned til kun 80-100,- DKK.
Design/Layout - 5
Kortet er flot designet og den monterede køleløsning formår, at holde kortet stabilt koldt ved selv høj belastning og overclocking, uden alt for belastende larm. det er nemt, at afmontere køleløsningen, så det fulde OC-potenitale kan bruges af personer der excellerer i den hobby. 19,41% overclockning af GPU'en er imponerede resultater!
Software - 4
Softwaren der medleveres er af høj kvalitet, hvor alle kan være med. Der findes værtøjer til automatisk opdatering af drivere, BIOS og anden medleveret software. Softwaren er grafisk flot og alle kan være med, da den er nem at bruge. Det er et plus der medfølger overclocksoftware og et overclockværktøj.
Ydelse - 4
Ydelsen på MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition er ganske udemærket. Man får meget for pengene og indenfor visse deltests viser NVIDIA-GPU'en sin sædvanligt kendte gode ydeevne indefor OpenGL-rendering. Kortet kører stabilt og yder glimrende i sin segmentklasse.
Pris - 5
Kortet er prissat til omkring ca. 1000,- til 1200,- DKK i skrivende stund. Det er billigt for et kort der har så god en ydelse - særligt set i lyset af den høje kvalitet og særdeles effektive køleløsning. Man savner til prisen hverken ydelse, funktionalitet eller muligheder med MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition. Et rigtigt godt køb såvel prismæssigt, som funktionalitetes- og ydelsesmæssigt. I sandhed et produkt i en klasse for sig selv!
UK summary
MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition is an exciting experience to get hands on. The card is relatively cheap and should/can compete directly with AMD's model the HD57701GB. The adapter provides excellent performance in all sorts of tests. Particularly in some OpenGL tests this card shows NVIDIA's renowned high performance in this type of rendering technology performance. The adapter is not very noisy - nor is it a nuisance whilst overclocking with the fan set at 100% revolution speed. Power consumption wise, this adapter has a higher consumation than seen with the rival AMD's similiar adapters. The adapter and cooling solution is solidly built and reflects really high quality. This MSI N450GTS1Gb OC Edition is very stable, includes good software, the drivers are stable -and all types of consumers can easily "jump on the wagon", both price-wise as practically. Especially the demanding consumer, or the quality minded overclocker will find that the MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition is a product in a class of its own.
Innovation/Technology - 4
The GPU on the card is NVIDIA's latest cutting-edge technology and built on 40nm process technology. The GPU dissipates very little heat and are frugal in operation during normal use. However, there is a large consumption of power under OC and full load. The competitor AMD achieves to push their cards in the same class 20 to 30 watts further down in power consumption, at "idling" in Windows 7. The 450GTS-GPU is very easy to overclock and delivers impressively little heat dissipation.
Bundle/Accessories - 4
The bundle is quite normal for a card in this price category and segment. There are easy instructions packed in the box, where either graphically or with photos are shown how the adapter is mounted and the software installed. All relevant cables and adapters are also conveniently provided in the box. However we do miss a game of some sort, since DirectX 11 games have become quite cheap and are available down to only 80.- to 100 - DKK.
Design/Layout - 5
The adapter is very well designed and the mounted cooling solution is able to keep the card both stable as also quite cool at high load and overclocking without giving off excessive annoying noise levels . it is easy to remove the mounted cooling solution, so the full OC-potential can be used by persons who excels in this area/hobby. 19,41% overclocking of the GPU is really impressive results.
Software - 4
The software supplied is of high quality, where everyone can participate. There are tools bundled that automatically updates drivers, BIOS and other supplied software. The software is graphically beautiful and anyone can "join-in" OC-wise because of its easiness in use and handling. It's an absolute plus that the adapter comes with overclocking software and an overclock tool from the producer.
Performance - 4
The benefits of the MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition are quite large. You get great value for your pocket money - and within certain tests the adapter shows NVIDIA's well-known, world famouse good performance within the area of OpenGL rendering. The adapter runs stable and delivers excellent performance in its segment class.
Price - 5
The MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition is priced at around approx. 1.000 - to 1.200, - DKK at the time of writing. That's quite cheap for a card that has such good performance - especially seen in the light of the high quality and highly efffective cooling solution. For the money needed to put down on the table, one won't be missing either performance, functionality or options with the MSI N450GTS1GB OC Edition. A real bargain price wise - as well as functionality and performance wise. Truely a product in a class of its own!
