GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd., a world-leading VGA card manufacturer, today launched the GV-NX78T256V-B, yet another high definition next generation GIGABYTE Gaming VGA solution based on the NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT graphics processor. Following close on the heels of several remarkable VGA card innovations from GIGABYTE, such as the proprietary 3D1 series of dual GPU cards, innovative fanless thermal designs that use Silent-pipe cooling technology and the famous GIGABYTE Turbo Force performance tuner, the new GV-NX78T256V-B introduces an incredible 20 pixel pipeline in what is arguably the industry's powerful and technically advanced graphics accelerator card. The new high-end VGA card from GIGABYTE also supports a host of industry wide technological advancements such as Microsoft DirectX 9.0C and OpenGL 2.0, and is fully compatible with 64-bit operating systems. The NVIDIA GeForce 7800GT GPU featured on the new GV-NX78T256V-B boasts NVIDIA's top-three mainstream architectures, the Power of 3, which comprise Shader Model 3.0, HDR (High dynamic-range), and SLI technology. The GeForce 7 series is fitted out a fourth generation graphics engine that streamlines the creation of complex visual effects through features such as the CineFX 4.0 engine that allows developers to create unique 3D game features and effects in both game animation and high-definition video; moreover, the specialized engine possesses full support for Microsoft^® DirectX^® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, that provides infinite program command length creating photorealistic scenes and environments in games. Additionally, the video accelerator card also supports HDR (High dynamic-range) rendering technology, which takes advantage of subtle light, texture, and color intricacies to creative incredibly realistic environments by representing color and intensity values with higher levels of precision. Naturally, NVIDIA SLI technology is featured on the GV-NX78T256V-B, which delivers powerful, elegant and super-rich graphics for games and other graphics-intensive applications. What's more, for discerning PC gamers, the GV-NX78T256V-B incorporates Intellisample™ 4.0 that delivers Transparency Supersampling technology to improves the quality of finely detailed environments that may otherwise be aliased and blocky when rendered by traditional means.In addition to NVIDIA's industry leading 3D gaming technologies, the GV-NX78T256V-B also incorporates PureVideo™ technology that 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 the GV-NX78T256V-B 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. The GV-NX78T256V-B is equipped with video in and out (VIVO), HDTV, DVI-I, D-SUB output, and comes bundled with an impressive range of software, including Cyberlink PowerDirector 3.0 ME, PowerDVD 6.0, Spell Force, and Xpand Rally. The GV-NX78T256V-B is expected to be available on the shelf in end of June. For more details, please visit the official GIGABYTE VGA website: http://tw.giga-byte.com/VGA.
