14 DAY TRIAL // Gigabyte has officially unveiled their new GV-NX88T512HP video card built around Nvidia's GeForce 8800 GT GPU. Equipped with 512MB GDDR3 memory, 112 stream processors and support for HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), the card is alleged to deliver sophisticated game rendering for a greatly enhanced gaming experience.
Gigabyte's newest video card features the manufacturer's patented Ultra Durable 2 Technology, which ensures that the design uses only highest-efficiency components, such as ferrite core choke coils, low RDS MOSFETs. All the capacitors on the board are Japan-manufactured SMD mounted solid capacitors, that are impossible to explode and leak under voltage fluctuations. At the same time, the capacitors keep down the temperature and thus, enhance the overclocking capabilities.
The GV-NX88T Ultra Durable 2 Edition series is compatible with the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, and is committed to offering a forwards-compatibility bridge by maximizing the 5 Gb/s PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth (twice that of first generation PCIe).
Overclockers can rejoice: Gigabyte has rigged the board with the TurboForce overclocking technology, which should translate in an up to 10.47% performance boost. The manufacturer has paid extreme attention to the cooling solution since it's about overclocking, and introduced cutting-edge cooling components, such as the Zalman VF700-ALCU thermal solution to use a two-ball bearing design for better reliability and durability.
Nvidia's Extreme High Definition (XHD) allows the user to enjoy enhanced graphics resolution. The video card includes Dual Dual-Link DVI, for the highest dual 2560X1600 screen resolution. Moreover, the image clarity is enhanced by a dedicated on-chip video processor to smoothen the video output - a new feature implemented by Gigabyte in their video cards line.
GIGABYTE GV-NX88T512HP comes bundled with the popular role-playing game, "Neverwinter Nights? 2" that would give the user the opportunity to take the first test-drive of their new graphics card.
