EVGA has announced a graphic card that can be called the world's fastest, because of its increased clock rates and the possibility of additional overclocking, thanks to its water cooling systems.

EVGA e-GeForce 7800 GTX BlackPearl 512MB card has at its basis the GeForce 7800 512 GTX GPU (graphics processing unit), but it operates at higher clock speeds. The board GPU runs at 600 MHZ, from the 550 MHZ on the reference, and features GDDR3 memory at 1800 MHz, by the default 1700 MHz.

The water cooling solution of the BlackPearl is based on a design of eheim aquarium water pump, developed by Innovatek, which has an average life of 10 years.

"The advantages of the EVGA BlackPearl water cooling solution are increased 3D performance at higher clock speeds and quiet operation targeting the 3D enthusiasts as well as professionals seeking a noiseless solution for their work place", said Andrew Han, Chief executive of EVGA.

EVGA said that the new graphics card is currently shipping, but no price was mentioned. Earlier this year, EVGA's e-GeForce 7800 GTX BlackPearl 256MB retailed for 1076 USD.
