Flipchip.net heeft een review klaarliggen van de AOpen PA256 GeForce2 Deluxe. De PA256 DeLuxe komt met hardware monitoring (core temperatuur, fan speed en voltages) en erg handige tweak opties in de vorm van het Open BIOS en het Open GPU programma. Met het OpenGPU programma kan je in Windows de core- en geheugensnelheid aanpassen, en wat unieker is ook alle voltages (geheugen, core, etc.). De combinatie van ultieme tweak opties en hardware monitoring is natuurlijk erg aantrekkelijk, en maakt deze kaart dan ook flink interessant voor iedere tweaker:
Overclocking the PA256 Deluxe is simplicity itself! With the option of using either the Open BIOS or the Open GPU program this baby is itching to be overclocked! What is really nice about these two overclocking utilities is that you can test all the OC options in Windows to something you are really comfortable with and then reboot and go into the Open BIOS and make the changes more permanent as well as messing with the additional settings mentioned earlier. Using the Open GPU, I cranked the card up until I ran into screen artifact (which was almost at full speed on all settings) and then backed it down a bit. Here is the 3d Mark and the Q3 scores from stock speed and Oc’d.
[...] As I mentioned in the review this is the fastest card I have ever had the pleasure of using! With its very tweakable BIOS, TV output, excellent documentation and a full version game bundle the AOpen PA 256 Deluxe is an excellent choice and definitely worth serious consideration! Also, the MSRP of $299.00 is definetly on the low end of the spectrum for the GeForce 2 GTS lineup which makes it all the more attractive!
