Hello everyone,
I am newbie on this site, although I am member of other Computer Forums.
My Problem:
I recently purchased two GTX 560 ti Hawks at stupid low price, less than £100 for both, these are B grade items from a decent online supplier of new computer components, they do have short warranty with them.
Now previously to these two cards, I had a Gigabyte GTX 560 OC, I got this at the beginning of last year, the one with the windforce cooler, although I have now sold that on Ebay for just over £70.
Everyone said to me I should put the money towards a new single card solution, but for the price I paid for the Hawks, I wouldn't get the same performance per buck.
Both the Hawks work fine, power up etc, ran the the odd 3d mark benchmark to test them both without any problems.
Now unlike most Hawks out there, when I first slotted them in the GPU Core seems a little low at 822 Mhz, I did look them up on the MSI website and they stated a factory OC at 950Mhz.
Is there something wrong with theses?
I did notice there is a dip switch on the back of the cards and also a switch next to the SLI connector, what are these things for?
I thought that once the graphics cards are pulled out the system they would revert to the speed they were set at when they were new or am I wrong?
Many thanks for reading and any light you can shed on the above would be great.
