Specifications and PCB:
Technical specifications :
In terms of frequency, the base frequency is announced at 1830 MHz, while the Boost peaks at 2670 MHz. The 8 GB of G-DDR6 memory run at 2125 MHz (272… 453 GB/s) on a 128-bit bus. Since this is an “OC”-labeled board, we should be able to take advantage of the factory overclocking offered by Asus. In fact, since the boost frequency announced by NVIDIA is 2460 MHz, we’re entitled here to a substantial overclocking representing 210 MHz. We’ll see what impact this has on performance.
Let’s go to GPU-Z to check that the information read is correct. The GPU frequency is indeed 1830 MHz, and the Boost frequency 2670 MHz. Don’t forget that the latter will be higher in benchmarks, depending on the quality of your chip and determined by GPU Boost 4.0. Memory has a frequency of 2125 MHz.
We remind you how GPU Boost works here.
Let’s take the PCB apart:
On the previous page, you’ll already have seen the rather ” light ” cooling system responsible for keeping the AD107-400 chip cool. The PCB contains 4 Hynix 2 GB memory chips, for a total of 8 GB.
The power controller for the GPU is a uP9512S chip, which will manage the various phases. The role of the VRMs is to convert direct current, because in the case of our GPU, it doesn’t operate on 12 V or 5 V, but on a lower voltage such as 1 V. The chips that enable this are VRMs. VRMs can be divided into three areas. Firstly, the voltage controller (PWM), which supplies the GPU with the right voltage and current, the mosfets and the coils.
As far as the power supply stage is concerned, we believe it consists of a total of 5 1 phases. The number of phases is often determined by the current requirement of the graphics chip. The more current it needs, the more phases there are. Mosfets are the elements that need to be kept cool, and are often topped by a heat sink. This is Asus’ own “in-house” PCB, as there are no reference boards available from NVIDIA. We have yet to verify this, but it seems to be the same PCB used for the RTX 4060 Ti Strix, but slightly castrated here.
