Palit GTS 450 Sonic Platinum – The Supercharged GTS 450

Conclusions

Indeed, the brand new GeForce GTS 450 from NVIDIA offers remarkable performance for the price. It is mainly targeted at computer gamers who play their games at resolutions lower than 1920×1080. If you’re still not satisfied with the performance, pre-overclocked GTS 450s can bring you more horsepower for a price, and Palit’s GTS 450 Sonic Platinum here is definitely one of the fastest factory overclocked GTS 450 cards out there. With 930 MHz of core frequency, this product is fairly competitive compared to others of its kind. The memory speed is also increased to 4000 MHz.

The increased clocks resulted in improved performance, around 12% to 20% higher than the standard version of GeForce GTS 450. If you’re looking for a GTS 450 that comes overclocked right out-of the-box, Palit’s Sonic Platinum GTS 450 might be a good choice.
