Sapphire Releases “Trixx”, GPU Overclocking Tool for PC Enthusiasts.

  • November 4, 2010 8:04 am


Custom PC builders and fans of computer overclocking now have another tool to add to their collection. Popular computer hardware manufacturer, Sapphire, has released a new GPU overclocking tool called “Trixx”. Essentially, it does the same thing as several other tools provided GPU manufacturers — allows you to adjust frequency clocks and voltages on your graphics cards, as well as letting your tweak fan settings. The latter is a huge help, especially when high overclocks are concerned. Heat = bad.

As you can see from the image above, the limits rise quite considerably from ATI’s own 1,000MHz-limited overdrive tool. Granted, not every card is going to run at 1,300MHz as outline by one of the images inside. Nevertheless, the option to run free with your hardware is always nice.

Video card and gaming buffs have a new toy to lust after.  Sapphire has gone ahead and upped the standard 1GB giving the reborn card a lofty 2 GB limit.  A limit that in reality won’t be touched in current games.  Why?  Well, games are currently developed with 512/768MB cards in mind because they make up the bulk of gaming rigs.  Even after clicking every option you can in the games display settings, you will still see a good chunk of that extra gig just sitting there.  However, if you must be the only kid in your class with the 2GB Radeon HD 4780, then by all means brag away.
