 So here on the screen I have my 3D Mark 11 results with the GTX 560 Hawk featuring the Twin Frozr 3 cooler. Twin Frozr 3, there's the logo thing. So that's with the dual 80 mil fans, you can see the Hawk logo on the PCB down there. Zoom zoom zoom, there it is. Alright, MSI Hawk. Okay, so basically the max overclock I was able to achieve on this particular card, I'm going to use my manual brightness settings area, you can actually read that now. So I was able to turn up not only the core voltage but also the memory voltage and auxiliary voltage because of the non-reference Hawk PCB. So I was able to get my core clock up past 1 GHz. Now, I was able to run benchmarks higher than this up to about 1.05 GHz but this was what I found to be 24-7 stable, okay, without temperatures going through the roof. You can't see it here, I ran the benchmark a while ago but it peaks at around 70 degrees. Okay, shader clock is obviously locked to the core clock as with most of the recent generation Nvidia cards. Memory clock, you know what, doesn't have a huge impact on performance but this is as high as I was able to get stable. Like I said, very little impact on performance though. It's all about the core clock on this particular card. So now what I'm going to do is I actually never even ran the benchmark at the reference clock speed so I will go ahead and run it at reference clock speed which actually aren't that much lower. Remember this card is overclocked to 950 MHz out of the box and I will find out how much of a performance improvement we got from overclocking the graphics card. Okay, so there's clearly not much improvement in performance to be had by overclocking the GTX 560 Hawk Edition card from MSI but there are definitely some advantages to it. So there's the fact that it doesn't cost that much more than the regular GTX 560 Twin Frozr 2. There's also the fact that it has a better PCB which includes, I mean, among other things, okay, we've got the V-checkpoints which are here. We've also got the, where is it, what is this, oh yeah, we've got the different profiles for the fans so you can go to performance mode or silent mode for the fans. We've got this rigidity plate for the PCB itself to keep it from flexing when it's installed in your case which the regular Twin Frozr 2 does not. One of the other improvements they've made to the PCB design is also the fact that the PCIe plugs come out the top of the card rather than the back of the card which means that the overall length of it is a little bit less. You can see the Twin Frozr 2, whoa it fell, that's no good, overhangs the PCB a little bit whereas here it does not, the Twin Frozr 3 does not do that. You get the propeller style fans rather than the more traditional truck blade fans and yeah, and then you get the factory overclock. So since you can't push it that much over the factory overclock that's pretty much to be expected. We're pretty close to the limits of a GTX 560 GPU, you still get that factory overclock which is significantly more than the 560Ti Twin Frozr 2 which in spite of the covered up hawk that's down there on the PCB because it's the same PCB as the GTX 460 hawk. This is a true 560 hawk not just with a Twin Frozr cooler on it. So thank you for checking out my little overclocking adventure on the GTX 560 hawk edition from MSI.
