The reference 4090 cards have a maximum boost frequency of 2.61 GHz, while the Phantom GS had a boost rate of 2.615 MHz and a base clock that hovers around 2.235 MHz. Also, be warned that the device emits a great deal of heat; you will need a well-ventilated computer with a front intake and a top exhaust. The power limiter gives this card a tad more leech, but more on that in our overclocking segment.
A sleek shroud with a dark finish covers the heatsink array, and as you will see in the following section, it performs a fantastic job of maintaining low temperatures.
As stated, it weighs just inder 2 kilogrammes; thus, be careful when installing it, the PCIe slot could easily break.
Gainward offers dual BIOS that has preset quiet and performance (default) settings. However, the clock rates are different, the silent BIOS follows reference clocks. Silent mode reduces noise marginally at the expense of slightly higher temperatures; given the results you're about to seem we say leave it at default.
Display outputs include three DisplayPort 1.4 and one HDMI 2.1, as expected, and yeah this is properly one of the longest cards we've seen in a while 33cm.
Gainward is back in the house, this round with their Phoenix GS edition of the GeForce RTX 4070 Ti. It's a great-looking product that should hold ground a bit closer to the reference MSRP. It cools w...

Gainward Music2Go 7.1 & SoundXPlosion 5.1 headphones
The Gainward Music2Go is a surprisingly good USB soundpuck, and the SoundXPlosion 5.1 surround headphones are better for games and DVD than they are for music.
Gainward Ultra 760 XP Golden review
Armed with a RED PCB, kick'ass cooling and ramsinks Gainward tried to get your attention. That's not it though, the product is fully VIVO (Video In and Video Out) which means you can playback and record media files. Also included into the package is a FireWire card to connect your DV camera or any other FireWire device and the software to start editing movies at consumer level. All-in-all an impressive package for a mid-end product. The GPU is of course a capable of utilizing DirectX9 (although poor performance) Pixel Shaders 2.0+, Vertex Shader 2.0+ and OpenGL. Basically this product is in the mid-end range and offers with it's cut-down 4 pixel pipeline (four single textured pixels, or two dual textured pixels) value for your money.
