If you are a DIY old player, you should be no stranger to the name Gengyu, Gengyu changed its name to Gengsheng when it entered the mainland market due to the trademark being preemptively registered, as early as the GeForce2 era, Gengsheng was called "poor Ferrari" by players with its excellent technical research and development strength, and it is currently one of the three major graphics card brands in Europe.
Gainward's R&D capabilities cannot be underestimated, and it is one of the few graphics card manufacturers in the market that independently develops, designs and manufactures, and was acquired by Taiwan Tongde in 2005. Because Gengsheng focuses more on technology research and development, clumsy in brand promotion, and is also affected by the low-end image of Tongde, it is not well-known in China, and its reputation is average, so it can only be relegated to the second and third lines, and the shipments and market share are relatively low in China, and the shipments in 2017 failed to enter the top eight, and the sales proportion is also at the bottom of the team, which is the same level as Yingzhong and Onda.
Gainsheng was known to users earlier as "enthusiast and overclocking", and is currently a wholly-owned sub-brand of Tongde, and Yingchi belongs to the same company, and the market strategy is similar to that of Yingchi, which is the main cost performance, mid-range and entry-level products account for the majority, although it is not outstanding in the field of graphics cards, but it is not bad, the top G soul series graphics card materials and Yingchi Hall of Fame are at the same level, which can be compared to the flagship models of other brands, but the price is about 15% lower.
Its products only have N cards, and the series is relatively small, the number of products is the same as that of sapphire, there are only 10 models on sale, and Gigabyte, the flagship series is changing every year, 9 series graphics cards are the Three Kingdoms series, such as Guan Yu version, Zhao Yun version, etc., and the latest 10 series graphics cards mainly have G soul series and wind series, and the price of products of the same level is lower than that of other brands.
G Soul Edition is the flagship series of Gains, which generally appears in the GTX 1070 and above levels, and is subdivided into G Soul Geek Edition and G Soul Edition, the Geek Edition can be understood as a small overclocking version of G Soul, and the performance is relatively stronger. At present, there is only one Gainsheng GTX 1070Ti G soul on sale in the series, using three fans and five heat pipes Pure copper base scheme, default frequency 1607-1683MHz, as a non-public version of the graphics card, the overclocking ability is not bad, stand-alone games can basically run smoothly, more than enough for eating chicken, and the gap with first-line brands is minimal, but the price of 3799 yuan is not very advantageous, and heat dissipation can only be regarded as average in products of the same level.
The wind series is the original 3 series of 9 series graphics cards, which is divided into hurricane/gale / chasing wind, the hurricane specification is positioned higher, the core frequency, performance and heat dissipation scheme are stronger than the chasing wind, mainly emphasizing performance; Gale is in the center, and chasing the wind is close to the public version, the frequency is a little higher than the public version, emphasizing cost performance, and it is the series with the largest number of products currently on sale. In addition, for special models, Gainward has another set of naming, such as the GTX 1060 3GB version is divided into storm/cyclone, the difference between the two is similar to the difference between gale and chasing wind.
The mid-range graphics card recommends Gainsheng GTX 1060 Gale, Gale has higher specifications in the wind series, focusing on performance, dual fan design Aluminum alloy backplane, decent appearance, there are not many highlights but there should be, the use of PCB design beyond the public version, the power supply module, circuit design, and heat dissipation have been comprehensively improved, and the short PCB design makes the graphics card very small, suitable for users with smaller cases, but the price of 2399 yuan has no advantage over first-line brand products.
