Introduction
|
As the industry's foremost heat pipe solution,
GIGABYTE Silent-Pipe II technology uses natural convection currents
created case and power supply fans to draw cool air in over the GPU for
unequalled fanless cooling. During testing in the GIGABYTE labs,
Silent-Pipe II outperformed standard noisy fansink VGA coolers by allowing
the GPU to run as much as cooler during normal activity. Even during
heavy 3D rendering work loads, Silent-Pipe II continues to produce
outstanding visual quality without unnecessary noise.

As a citizen of the global village, GIGABYTE exert
ourselves to be a pioneer in environment care. Give the whole of Earth a
promise that our products do not contain any of the restricted substances
in concentrations and applications banned by the RoHS Directive, and are
capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required for lead
free solder. One Earth and GIGABYTE Cares!

nView® Multi-Display Technology
|
Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing
flexibility and control for multiple monitors. NVIDIA GPUs are enabled to
support multi-displays, but graphics cards vary.
|
|
SLI™
Technology
|
Delivers up to 2X the performance of a single GPU
configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences by allowing two
graphics cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance
PCI Express graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on 60 top PC
games.

PureVideo™
|
PureVideo™ technology ensures support for new video
formats, while its motion estimation engine (MEE) allows the card to
record and play video files simultaneously without interrupting system
performance. An added value PureVideo™ provides is its high-definition
MPEG-2 and WMV HD hardware accelerator that take on much of the heavy
lifting during playback of Hi-Def video. Other video playback
enhancements include a unique color correction mechanism that will help
to create a home theater from a PC.

OpenGL
2.0® Optimizations and Support
|
Ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all
OpenGL 2.0 application.
|
|
PCI
Express
|
Designed to run perfectly with the next-generation PCI
Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X
delivering over 4 GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers.
|
|
PureVideo™
HD
|
Available on HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs,
high-definition movies are bringing an exciting new video experience to
PC users. NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD technology lets you enjoy
cinematic-quality HD DVD and Blu-ray movies with low CPU utilization and
power consumption, allowing higher quality movie playback and picture
clarity. PureVideo HD technology provides a combination of powerful
hardware acceleration, content security, and integration with movie
players, plus all the features found in PureVideo.

HDCP
Support
|
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a
form of copy protection technology designed to prevent transmission of
non-encrypted high-definition content as it travels across DVI or HDMI
digital connections.

Silent-Pipe
II Technology
|
Silent-Pipe II technology that generates natural
airflow to provide more efficient cooling without the use of a heat sink
or fan. This is achieved through a unique design that draws cool air in
through a new proprietary front-flow thermal module to remove heat from
the heat sink on the VGA card. GIGABYTE Silent-Pipe II Features and
Benefits: *Feature 1. Proprietary front-flow thermal module: the first Dual-slot
heat pipe solution to utilize a convection slot at the back of the
chassis to increase thermal dissipation. *Feature 2. Natural convection design: Silent-Pipe II technology artfully
uses the temperature difference between the inside and outside of
chassis, creating natural system convection. *Feature 3. High-precision die-casting process: uses the latest
high-precision die forming technology to increase the thermal
conductivity of the material that makes up the heat sink. *Feature 4. SLI ready: designed for compatibility with dual card
configurations. *Feature 5. High performance heat pipe with sintered powder wicks: with
the industry's best powder-style pure copper heat pipe for ultra
efficient thermal conductivity. *Feature 6. 3D performance ready: designed stability during demanding 3D
applications. *Feature 7. Integrated architecture design: heat pipe and GPU actually
make contact to provide unequalled heat conductivity.
