Is Galaxy any good?

[Castiel]

The price is definitely right for these with the Xtreme Cooler.

No they use blue PCB

 

[jacktesterson]

Galaxy are great cards

Blue PCB? LOL.

That's the Acceler Xtreme Plus right?

 

[fuseshock]

Call me when the DirectCU II TOP goes on sale.

Doesn't say on the galaxy website. In fact I couldn't even find it on their USA page I had to go to the Global page to find the product.

Can I ask why you would get that card over a pair of GTX 560s in SLI?

Asus GTX 580 DirectCU II won't be out till March which is why i'm considering alternatives

Castiel your like a hyper version of me, you change your mind on GPUs faster than than people change their minds about....anything actually.

Galaxy is great. One of the few companies that gives you a 1-800 number for tech support and RMAs - you actually get to talk to someone who speaks good English.


i reviewed the Galaxy GTX 480 SOC with the ArcticCooling VGA cooler. It was awesome compared to the reference version. However, it is a 3-slot solution and may not work in all motherboards in SLI although i was able to pair it with a reference GTX 480. Mine also overclocked well and matched my GTX 580's overclock

Can you confirm that's a Arctic Cooling Acceler Xtreme Cooler on the GTX 580?

That is the arctic cooling heatsink which is like sixty bucks alone making the 499 price incredible

Not absolutely. However, Galaxy uses Arctic Cooling AcceleroXtremes on their GTX 480 and it sure looks the same in the picture.

These cards would be good bang for buck, do it yourself overclocking

i met with the Galaxy reps at CES in a private meeting; expect breakout HDMI wireless boxes .. SSDs .. and likely

GTX 580 SOC (SuperOverclock) with the AC cooler
:awe:

Thanks poppin. I hate the Blue pcb but aslong as it has voltage control i'm still very interested in it.

 

[Insomniator]

Have a Galaxy 470 haven't had any problems and my rebate was approved almost immediately not that that matters for you. There was a Galaxy rep floatin around here on the forums during the single slot card thread.

 

[jacktesterson]

Galaxy is a great name as I said earlier.

I wouldn't hesitate with them at all.

 

[Castiel]

I don't think an 850W is going to cut it when it comes to overclocked 580's. AX1200?

Over clocked and over volted?

 

[Castiel]

Over clocked and over volted?

Yeah were talking 1.2v and max core clocks

 

[mnewsham]

I would go 1.2k

 

[Castiel]

Are there any really good 1200W PSU's out there that are not 300 dollars?

Hmm.. For less money i could always go 3 way 6950 2GB's and unlock them.
