Test: iChill GeForce GTX680 Accelero Hybrid

Konklusion

iChill GTX 680 Accelero Hybrid er ganske enkelt et fantastisk kort. Kølingen er genial, selvom ideen er stjålet fra de populære lukkede vandkølingssystemer til processorer, fungerer det mindst ligeså godt godt her. Den gode køling tillod Inno3D at fabrikoverclocke kortet en hel del, og som man kan se i testen, er der mere at komme efter.  Min eneste egentlige anke ved dette kort, er at køleren af mystiske årsager lige præscis skal fylde 3 udvidelsesslots. Hvis du er støjallgergiker og ikke vil bygge dit eget vandkølingssystem, så er dette kort perfekt og accelero hybrid køleren er absolut min favoritkøler. 

Innovation/Teknologi - 5
Kepler er som bekendt det nyeste skud på stammen fra Nvidia, og den nye arkitektur leverer en masse power med en lille chip. Nvidias nye Turbo funktion låner teknologi vi har haft i processorer i mange år, og viser at den også kan bruges på grafikkort. Denne version har 4GB RAM så man ikke løber tør. 

Bundle/Tilbehør - 5
I kassen har Inno3D smidt en mussemåtte, en kopi af 3DMark 2011, alle skruer nødvendige til montering af blæser og radiator. Derudover finder man diverse adaptorer, som efterhånden er en overflødighed, men fint at få med. 

Design/Layout - 5
Denne køler er utroligt effektiv og holder uden problemer det overclockede GTX 680 under 60 grader! Derudover er denne køler virkelig stille, så stille at jeg vil gerne tildele den en "approved for people with noise allergy award". Desværre har vi ikke sådan en, men brug jeres fantasi for dette er virkelig en god køler. 

Software/BIOS - 3
Kortet benytter NVIDIA's standard drivere, som fungerer ganske fortrinligt og derfor modtager 3 points. Desværre har Inno3D ikke deres eget overclock program, noget der ellers ville pynte når de udgiver et kort som dette. 

Ydelse - 5
iChill kortet er enormt hurtigt og er, ikke overraskene, hurtigere end alle andre etkernede grafikkort. Selv med det meget høje overclock, kan man faktisk lokke endnu mere power ud af kortet. 

Pris - 3
Prisen på kortet bliver DKR 4499,95,-. Dette er naturligvis mange penge, men hvis man undersøger markedet opdager man, at dette faktisk er en rigtig fornuftig pris. Et standardkølet GTX 680 2GB koster DKR 3600,- og hvis man ønsker 4GB RAM skal der DKR 4300,- op af lommen. Med Accelero hybrid får man både 4GB og en af markedes bedste kølere. Kortet modtager dog 3 points, jeg kan ikke retfærdiggøre at give mere til noget så dyrt. Så venter vi bare på at kortet bliver sendt på markedet.

UK summary

iChill GTX 680 Accelero Hybrid is simply a great card. Cooling is brilliant, although the idea is stolen from the popular closed water cooling system for processors, it works just as well well here. The good cooling allowed Inno3D to preoverclock this card a lot, and as you can see in the test, there is more to come. My only real appeal of this card is that the cooler for some reason just exactly takes up 3 expansion slots. If you are very sensitive to noise and do not want to build your own water cooling system, then this card perfect and the accelero hybrid cooler is definitely my favorite cooler.

Innovation/Technology - 5
Kepler is the newest from Nvidia, and the new architecture delivers a lot of power with a small chip. Nvidia's new Turbo feature borrows technology we've had in processors for many years, and shows that it can also be used on the graphics card. This version has 4GB RAM so you do not run out when needed.

Bundle/Accessories - 5
The box has Inno3D thrown a mouse mat, a copy of 3DMark 2011, all screws needed to mount the fan and radiator. In addition, you will find various adapters, which now is a redundancy, but fine to recieve.

Design/Layout - 5
This cooler is incredibly efficient and keeps without problems the overclocked GTX 680 below 60 degrees! In addition, this cooler is really quiet, so quiet that I would like to assign it an "approved for people with noise allergy award". Unfortunately we do not have sucs an award, but use your imagination because this is really a good cooler.

Software/BIOS - 3
The card uses NVIDIA's standard drivers, which works quite excellently and therefore receives 3 points. Unfortunately, Inno3D do not have a overclock program, something that otherwise would make a nice addition to a card of this caliber

Performance - 5
iChill card is extremely fast and is surprisingly not  faster than any other one-core graphicscard. Even with the very high overclock, you can actually get even more power out of this card.

Price - 3
The price of the card DKK 4499.95, -. This is of course a lot of money, but if you examine the market you discover that this is actually a very reasonable price. A standard cooled GTX 680 2GB costs DKK 3600,- and if you want 4GB of RAM, we are looking at DKK 4300,-. With Accelero hybrid you get both 4GB and one of markets best coolers.

The card receives 3 points, however, I can not justify giving more for something so expensive. The last thing is just to wait and see this card arriving on the market.
