14 DAY TRIAL // Even though one might expect all video card news to be a form of GTX 570 praise, it seems that Gigabyte has more in mind, having also created a new version of an 'older' and less mighty product.
Gigabyte may have done its duty and delivered its own version of the newest NVIDIA card, but this is not all it restricted itself to.
For those still unsure, the newest board from NVIDIA is the newest 500-series board powered by the GF110 GPU.
Apparently, the company figured it was also time to offer the low-end market something to look forward to for the holidays.
As such, instead of a just flashy, high-profile product, it also put together a new version of the GeForce GT 430 board.
It is built around the GF108 graphics processing unit, the low-cost Fermi chip based on the 40nm manufacturing process.
There are also 96 CUDA cores, 512 MB of memory and clock speeds of 730 MHz for the GPU, 1,460 MHz for the shaders and 1,800 MHz for the memory.
It should probably be noted that the newcomer features the TurboCache technology, which allows it to draw upon the might of the system's random access memory (RAM).
Basically, it should let it behave as though it had twice the amount of memory (1 GB instead of 512 MB).
Furthermore, the card boasts a full-height PCB (printed circuit board) and an active cooler which includes, among other things, a fan with a diameter of 80mm.
Finally, the card is equipped with D-Sub, DVI and HDMI video outputs, meaning it can communicate with a wide range of displays.
Unfortunately, no sort of information exists on the price of the Gigabyte GT 430, although shipments shouldn't take long to start so this final detail might become known sooner rather than later.
