Getting cheap GPUs or CPUs and overclocking them afterwards, thanks to their huge overclocking potential, has been a nice budget trick for some time now. Most of the overcloking world records have been achieved using mid-range products and some manufacturers even started to encourage this sort of performance improvement by introducing special mechanisms that simplify the whole process. Even the GPU integrators like to show off some cool boosters on their cards, and to sustain this further, MSI comes along with a beefed-up GeForce N9600GT Diamond graphics card.
The new card was demonstrated at the ECOlution press conference in Taipei and the audience saw that MSI added a bright red overclock button to make overclocking a stroll in the park for non-experimented people who’d like to push their cards to the limits. When pressed, the graphics core and memory clock speeds are overclocked, and the voltage increased.
To further increase the overclocking potential, MSI added 2GB of GDDR3 memory to the Diamond version which also comes with a whole bunch of connectors: HDMI, DisplayPort, dual DVI and optical audio output. The card will also be bundled with the Dr.MOS software that monitors real-time performance and cooler speeds.
Although the card is going to be released in June, there still are some minor problems to fix. In SLI dual graphics mode the button won’t work, but MSI are keen to point out that it’s definitely on their to-do list for the near future. Moreover, we don’t know yet how far the overclocking capabilities will go. The card is expected to cost around $250.
