VVikoo, the recent addition to the GPU AIB lineup, has something rather interesting up its sleeve. As it has to compete with Nvidia AIB giants like XFX, eVGA and a whole bunch of others, Vvikoo has to make rather unique cards. The one of those cards is the 9600GT Turbo which is literally covered in copper, courtesy of Zalman's VF1000 GPU cooler.

The card itself works at 700MHz for the core, and comes with 512MB of DDR3 memory clocked at 2,000MHz. Besides the regular 256-bit memory bus, PCI-Express 2.0, DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0 support, the Vvikoo 9600GT Turbo comes with whole bunch of connectors on the back plate. Since the Zalman cooler makes this card a dual-slot design, Vvikoo decided to place HDMI, DisplayPort, dual DVI's (with dual link) and an SPDIF for audio.

The only drawback of this card is that it is a bit hard to find and the card should retail for around €200. Our colleagues from the Inquirer have put this copper-covered card to test and the OC results look great, at least on their test sample. You can check it out here.
