  • Introduction
    GIGABYTE UNITED INC., a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today announces the launch of their new graphics accelerators GV-NX85T256HP bundled with the official game of the 2006 WCG, Warhammer 40,000 series: Dawn of War Dark Crusade.
  • RoHS Compliant
    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!
  • Dual-link DVI
    Able to drive two of the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 3D-Active Fan
    GIGABYTE's proprietary 3D-Active Fan™ technology features 3 unique operation modes- Power Saving Mode, Performance Upgrade Mode and Protection Mode. For Power Saving Mode, the 3D-Active Fan will not operate during non 3D rendering in order to reduce power consumption. This not only makes the system more energy-efficient, but also prolongs fan lifespan. When implementing 3D instructions and playing 3D games, 3D-Active Fan triggers Performance Upgrade Mode, allowing the fan to operate for an enhanced level of graphics performance. When no longer executing 3D instructions, GIGABYTE's 3D-Active Fan enters Protection Mode, allowing the fan to operate for an additional 5 seconds in order to transfer excess heat from the GPU, creating a more stable system environment.
  • Turbo Force Ultra Technology
    GIGABYTE's proprietary Turbo Force Ultra technology that comprises T3 technology and V-tuner2 overclocking application. T3 technology comprises a series of performance tuning process that ensure maximum stability and enhance 30%~50% performance.
    * Performance AssuranceTuning: By using a special verification process to make sure the card maintains excellent performance during tough environmental conditions.
    * Stabilith Tuning: Unique process to measure the chip feature of the GPU and leave enough margin to assure Stability.
    * Power Optimization Tuning: Set the best power balance for the selected clock to enhance product stability and avoid overheating.
  • 80nm Process Technology
    Delivers higher performance through blazing clock rates.
  • Microsoft® DirectX® 10
    World's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realims and film-quality effects.
  • Display Support
    *Dual integrated 400MHz RAMDACs for analog display resolutions up to and including 2048x1536 at 75Hz.
    *Dual-link DVI capability to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution digital flat panel displays up to 2560x1600 at 60 Hz.
    *Integrated HDTV encoder provides analog TV-output (Component/Composite/S-Video) up to 1080i resolution....more information
