Gainward's software for the card itself comprises of the drivers and a utility called Expert Tool. Expert Tool allows you to control many of the cards features and performance options; as well as the most commonly used windows graphic options such as screen size and resolution.

It also allows you to perform easy overclocking of the card, and as this is the Golden Sample model will change the cards specifications from standard to Gainwards guaranteed overclocked settings and beyond. You can also update your cards driver's and bios with a click of a button whereupon it will connect to Gainwards ftp and download the latest files for you. Pretty handy tool, although you can easily achieve the same results and with more options with something like Powerstrip or NVmax. It is included with the card and it makes overclocking a one button affair which is great for beginners and the experienced alike.

All in all, a good first impression straight out of the box and installed, so let's see how it actually performs.
