Review: CoolIT OMNI A.L.C. meets NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480

Benchmarks: DiRT 2, H.A.W.X and Far Cry 2

Cranking up to 8xAA, DiRT 2 sees a generous performance boost, with the liquid-cooled GTX 480 offering just over 14 per cent more than the air-cooled model.

There's close to a 14 per cent increase in H.A.W.X, too.

As expected, Far Cry 2 tells a similar story. The GTX 480's 16 per cent overclock translates to almost a 16 per cent performance boost.

A useful step-up all round, but are there any adverse effects?
