EVGA, one of the leaders in graphics cards manufacturing, recently announced that it will soon release its latest development - the GeForce 7950 GX2 graphics card - with an innovative liquid-cooling system in order to enhance the performances of the product, informs X-bit Labs.

The new 'Jane Doe-graphics card', will be an addition to the Black Pearl graphics cards series, the premium products of EVGA's portfolio, which deliver enhanced clock-speeds and a 'trade mark' water-cooling system.

EVGA called the company's upcoming graphics card the fastest in the industry and it could be, if we think at the water-cooling system which will enable a greater clock-speed and a noise reduction previously delivered by GeForce 7950 GX2's cooling fans. Unfortunately, the manufacturer did not reveal, up until now, the precise clock-speed the graphics card usually delivers.

"Nvidia's GeForce 7950 GX2, positioned as the company's top-of-the-range graphics cards, carries two GeForce 7900 graphics chips with 24 pixel processors, 8 vertex shader processors as well as 512MB of memory for each GPU. Each graphics processor is clocked at 500MHz, whereas memory functions at 1200MHz. The chips operate in SLI mode - thus giving such advantages as special SLI antialiasing modes - and communicate with each other using MIO-interface. According to X-bit labs' performance benchmarks, Nvidia GeForce 7950 GX2 is the fastest graphics card in the world, even though it has some limitations when it comes to mainboard compatibility," writes X-bit Labs.

Unfortunately, EVGA did not disclose the price of its new GeForce 7950 GX2 Black Pearl edition, but, if we are to remember that the premium products of the manufacturer's portfolio are priced at approximately $1000, we already have an estimated retail cost.
