Super Graphics Cards from EVGA

Among the high end graphics cards manufacturers around the world, there's also a company named EVGA and even if it lay silent for a while, now it is back with a vengeance, I mean two brand new graphics cards based on the Nvidia 8600GTS chips. The EVGA 8600GTSes are now coming with a higher amount of video memory, reaching 512MB of DDR3 memory, and the company released two models, a standard one and one that comes with the Superclocked designation.

Both of the EVGA new graphics cards come with 512MB of DDR3 video memory which is clocked at 2GHz in order to offer the maximum level of performance possible. In addition to the high level of performance which is derived from the high clock settings, both cards are coming equipped with all the features of the 8th generation of GeForce graphics processing units, DirectX10 and Shader Model 4.0 as well as full support for HDR and Full Screen Anti-Aliasing. As the cards are extensively tested before leaving the factory, users may rest assured that they are 100 percent stable, while enjoying the performance boost offered by the increased amount of video memory which translates into 32GB per second of memory bandwidth.

The EVGA GeForce 8600GTS standard clocked graphics card comes with a core speed of 675MHz and 32 stream processors clocked at an incredible 1.5GHz, while the 512MB of DDR3 video memory are coming with a 2GHz frequency. The shader clock speed is 1450MHz and the card is using, as expected, the PCI Express 16x bus, while supporting the following output interfaces: DVI-I, DVI and HDTV-7. The Superclocked graphics card from EVGA is just the overclocked version of the 8600GTS as it comes with higher clock speeds, reaching a full 706MHz core frequency. The video memory on the GeForce 8600GTS Superclocked version is still running at 2GHz, but the shader clock speed is increased to 1512MHz. The rest of the technical specifications are identical between the two new EVGA graphics cards, as they are based on the very same type of graphics processing units.

As the new EVGA graphics cards are based on the Nvidia GeForce 8600GTS GPUs, they offer full hardware support for DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0 in order to deliver unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film quality effects. A number of Nvidia innovations and proprietary technologies are also included, such as the Unified Shader Architecture which combines vertex, pixel and geometry shaders for an overall more efficient architecture, the Quantum Effects technologies that enables a whole new generation of special effects to be generated by the GPU and 128-bit HDR with FSAA which offers a highly realistic and dynamic lighting.
