MSI Twin Turbo puts old twist on GPU overclocking
By
Micro-Star International’s (MSI’s) latest graphics card offering puts a twist on the trend of makers releasing Special Edition or overclock versions of their cards in order to offer slightly better performance.
The NX8600GT Twin Turbo carries not one but two vBIOS chips; this allows MSI to provide two sets of core and memory clock settings – normal and turbo – which can be switched between using a button on the back-plate of the card. It reminds us of PCs from the 386 and 486 era which also had a button on the case to adjust system speed “on the fly”.
