What is the GIGABYTE GPU Gauntlet?

World’s #1 GPU cherry-picking process
Only the strongest processors survive the GPU Gauntlet.

GIGABYTE’s database analysis system evaluates the GPU core engine, shader engine. The GPUs with the best power efficiency and lowest power
consumption are qualified for the Super Overclock Series.
 
So the question remains…will your graphics card make it through the Gauntlet?
 
 
Fresh Innovation Intro……
 
 
GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting
 
Full-throttle Performance Tuning
■ Proprietary database analysis system to investigate GPU core, shader and memory.
■ Professional testing toolkit to find the highest frequency with Graphics benchmark (FurMark, 3DMark Vantage)
■ Factory overclocked at optimal stability point (Super OC point), an exact balance between high frequency and efficient power consumption.
 
GTX275 Super OC Edition at
optimal stability point (715HMz)
 
GTX260 Super OC Edition at
optimal stability point (680HMz)
 
 
Full-throttle Performance Tuning
■ Super Overclock Series GPUs not only deliver better cooling efficiency than generic GPUs but also have a qualified extreme clock core,
  shader and memory.
■ Both GTX275 and GTX260 Super OC Edition guarantee fan speed at 1500 rpm in high-rated 3D and physics-accelerated games.
■ Noise reduction for an absolutely quiet environment.

Expert Power Switching
■ A GIGABYTE GTX 275 Super OC Series graphics card delivers a 9% increase in performance compared to a standard GTX 275 card.
■ With GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting, the GIGABYTE GTX 275 Super OC Edition guarantees the same overclocking capability as a standard GTX
  275 video card, but with lower power consumption (4%).
 
 
■ GPUs are examined and tested for highest power efficiency and lowest power consumption using the FurMark and 3DMark
  Vantage benchmark.
■ A GIGABYTE GTX 260 Super OC Series graphics card delivers a 25% increase in performance compared to a standard GTX 260 card.
■ With GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting, the GIGABYTE GTX 260 Super OC Edition guarantees the same overclocking capability as a standard GTX
  260 dual-fan video card, but with lower power consumption (4%).
 
 


 
 
 
Ultra Durable VGA
High Quality Components


2 oz Copper PCB
■ 2 oz copper PCB board doubles the copper inner layer of PCB board and provides unrivaled performance compared with traditional 1 oz PCB board.
 
Tier 1 Samsung and Hynix Memory
■ Ultra Durable VGA promises 1st tier Samsung/Hynix memory built with 100% fully testing.
 
Japanese Solid Capacity
■ Solid capacitors contain a solid organic polymer, while electrolytic capacitors use a common liquid electrolyte. Our cards use Japanese
  solid capacitors made by leading Japanese manufactures and offer better electronic conductivity for unrivaled performance.
 
Ferrite Core (Metal) Chokes
■ Ferrite core chokes are comprised of a compound of iron-oxide whose properties hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high
  frequency. They are able to store energy longer and prevent rapid energy loss at high frequency.
 
Low RDS (on) MOSFET
■ Lower RDS (on) MOSFETs are specially designed to produce lower switching resistance for faster electric current charging and
  discharging.
 
 
 
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%.
