Ultra Durable VGA™

Features & Benefits
GPU Temperature 5%~10% down
Ultra Durable VGA board provides dramatic cooling effect on lowering both GPU and memory temperature by doubling the copper inner layer of PCB. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA can lower GPU temperature by 5% to 10%.
Overclocking Capability 10%~30% Up
Ultra Durable VGA board reduces voltage ripples in normal and transient state, thus effectively lowers noises and ensures higher overclocking capability. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA graphic accelerators improve overclocking capability by 10% to 30%.
Power Switching Loss 10%~30% Down
Ultra Durable VGA board allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current and can effectively improve power efficiency. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable VGA can lower power switching loss by 10% to 30%. 

AMD EyeSpeed

AMD EyeSpeed technology helps you: 
■Enjoy beautifully rich and clear video playback when streaming from the web 
■Take in your favorite movies in stunning, stutter-free HD quality 
■Run multiple applications smoothly at maximum speed 
■Enjoy lightning fast game play and realistic physics effects

"Triangle Cool" Technology

GIGABYTE introduces the latest exclusive "Triangle Cool" Technology to reach a better cooling performance. The latest patent pending technology combines fin with clip module in a special triangle shape. With the original anti-turbulence structure plus the new triangle cooling design, it enhances the efficiency of heat dissipation dramatically by minimizing the flow of turbulence between fans. Therefore, the "Triangle Cool" Technology provides a more efficient air flow for the cooling system.

Will Your Motherboard Support the Video Card You're Purchasing? Here's the Answer...

Before you buy - make sure  your motherboard is compatible with this video card. For example, PCI Express video cards won't work with motherboards designed only for  AGP or PCI video cards, and vice versa. Please read the specifications carefully or call us for expert advice.

Check your motherboard and make sure you are  purchasing the correct cardbus type.

There are  3 types of cardbus slots currently available: PCI, AGP, and PCI Express (PCIe  2.0 is compatible with PCIe slot))

PCI -  The most widely used I/O bus, it provides a shared data path between the CPU and  peripheral controllers, such as network, display, SCSI and RAID cards. Though  limited in terms of performance, they are considered the best value when you  upgrade your video capabilities on a PC. The PCI interface can be found and used  in nearly any motherboard.

AGP -  The AGP slot is next in line of higher graphic performance. It was designed  especially for the throughput demands of 3-D graphics. It offers up to 8x  improvement over a PCI card, is 32 bits wide and runs at 66 MHz. It provides a  direct connection between the card and memory, and only one AGP slot is on the  motherboard. The motherboard must be equipped with an AGP bus slot for an AGP  card to be compatible.(AGP 1x provided a data transfer rate of 264 Mbytes/sec.  AGP 2x is 528 Mbytes/sec. AGP 4x is 1 Gbyte/sec. AGP 8x is 2 Gbytes/sec.)

PCI Express -  PCI Express is the newest technology that is superior to both PCI and AGP, in  terms of graphic performance. It offers performance as much as 4x faster than  the fastest AGP 8X slot. PCI Express connections can support fast data transfer  rates, which can be used to connect high-speed devices such as high-end video  cards. The slots come in different variations and speeds, such as x1, x4, x8,  and x16. Presently, most high-end motherboards meant for design, video  production, or gaming come with PCI express slots. To use a PCI Express card,  your computer must have at least one available PCI Express slot.
