ECS GeForce 9600GT Accelero 512MB Author: Shane Baxtor SUMMARY: EliteGroup have chosen to spice up the 9600GT with a passive cooler from Arctic Cooling and also increased clockspeeds. Editor: Steve Dougherty Category: Visual Published: 7th March 2008 Manufacturer: ELITEGROUP Our Rating: 91% Rate our Content Now! Introduction As the 9600GT cards continue to roll on in, we see lots of variants trying to stand out from the pack. The latest card to rock up in the labs is an offering from ECS that carries with it an Accelero S2 made by Arctic Cooling. This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Accelero S2 cooler, though this is the first time that we’ve seen it in use on a 9600GT. We’ll have a look at exactly how ECS make use of the Accelero S2 today, and how it performs compared to a 9600GT from another vendor that we’ve seen previously. To make the card that little bit more exciting on top of the aftermarket cooler used, it also carries with it an increased core and memory clockrate; we’ll go into more details of that a little later on in the review.
