Built with an NVIDIA GTX 275 GPU, the GIGABYTE GV-N275SO-18I features astonishing 1792 MB GDDR3 memory and 448-bit memory interface. Each GPU is cherry-picked for top performance, power efficiency and reliability using GIGABYTE’s innovative GPU Gantlet Sorting Process and the memory size is doubled compared to a standard GTX 275 graphics card on market. Using advanced technical selection with combined with Ultra Durable VGA boards; users will enjoy excellent graphic card performance on all the top 3D gaming titles.

GPU Gauntlet Sorting
First, GIGABYTE’s database analysis system evaluates the GPU core engine, shader engine and memory. If a processor doesn’t meet the pre-defined standard, it will not qualify for the Super Overclock Series.

In addition, GIGABYTE’s proprietary testing toolkit allows engineers to inspect and select the GPUs with the highest frequency. This program operates for 30 minutes and provides important data on the maximum overclocking ability when compared to a stock GPU. Once the Super Overclock point has been determined, engineers will boost the frequency to offer the highest factory default clock setting in the market.

Next, each Super Overclock Series GPU faces the Graphics benchmarks, FurMark and 3Dmark Vantage, to measure performance and stability under an intense graphics load. A GPU that passes this stage will perform at a lower temperature and fan speed compared to a standard GPU. By choosing the cream of the crop, GIGABYTE ensures rich rendering of intricate 3D scenes and realistic physical effects such as water, gas, steam, fire, etc for a lifelike gaming adventure.

Last but not least, engineers test the power switching and stability. The GPUs with the best power efficiency and lowest power consumption qualify for the Super Overclock Series. And GIGABYTE understands that premium graphics cards should not sound like a cement truck rolling down the freeway, so a large cooling fan provides for a quiet computing environment.

Thanks to Ultra Durable VGA 5 quality components, 2 oz copper PCB, first tier memory, Japanese solid capacitors, ferrite core cokes and low RDS on MOSFET, the Super Overclock Series provides for top performance in graphics benchmarking. These high-quality components promise consumers 5%~10% lower GPU temperatures, 10-30% higher overclocking capability, and switching power loss that is reduced by 10-30%.





GIGABYTE’s innovative GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting process provides three main benefits:

1. Full-throttle Performance Tuning
Proprietary database analysis system helps engineers investigate GPU core, shader and memory. Super Overclock Series video card sets its factory overclocked at optimal stability point (Super OC point), which is an exact balance between high frequency and efficient power consumption, delivering top performance for power users.







2. Optimized Thermal Efficiency
With high-quality Gigabyte Ultra Durable VGA components, the processor selected by GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting boasts extra lower temperature by 5 to 10%. The guarantee fan speed at 1500 rpm in high-rated 3D and physics-accelerated games helps reduce noise for an absolutely quite environment.







3. Expert Power Switching
GPUs are examined and tested for the highest power efficiency and lowest power consumption using the FurMark and 3DMark Vantage benchmark. A Gigabyte GTX 275 Super Overclock Series graphics card delivers a 9% increase in performance compared to a standard GTX 275 card. And a Gigabyte GTX 275 Super Overclock Series card guarantees the same overclocking capability as a standard GTX 275 reference video card, but with lower power consumption.













Realistic Gaming Experience

Furthermore, GIGABYTE GV-N275SO-18I also supports NVIDIA 3D Vision™ technology. Forming the foundation for a new consumer 3D stereo ecosystem for gaming and home entertainment PCs, 3D Vision is a combination of high-tech wireless glasses, a high-power IR emitter and advanced software that automatically transforms hundreds of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D experiences.

   يتزعم كارت الشاشة الجديد GV-N94T-512H الصناعة مع تضمنه لأحدث الخصائص التصميمية الفريدة المقدمة من شركة جيجابايت "الجيل الثاني من تقنية التحمل الفائق Ultra Durable 2 Technology" ومجموعة المكونات عالية الكفاءة مثل الملفات الكهربائية المصنعة من سبيكة الفِرَّيت Ferrite Core Chokes والدوائر الإلكترونية منخفضة المقاومة Low RDS (on) MOSFET والمكثفات الصلبة المصنعة في اليابان SMD. تؤكد كل كروت الشاشة المقدمة من جيجابايت والتي تتضمن الجيل التالي من تقنية التحمل الفائق Ultra Durable 2 علي ما تمتلكه من ثبات ومستوى عال من الأداء الذي يمكن الاعتماد عليه، وامكانياتها لتبريد درجات الحرارة وتعزيز فوائد رفع تردد التشغيل بما يزيد من الأداء ويوفر منصات عالية التعريف.
   
   الدوائر الإلكترونية منخفضة المقاومة Low RDS (on) MOSFET - تبريد فائق
   تعمل الدوائر الإلكترونية منخفضة المقاومة Low RDS (on) MOSFET كسويتش يسمح أو يمنع مرور النبضات الكهربائية الحالية عبر الدائرة الكهربائية. وتستفيد كروت الشاشة المزودة بالجيل الثاني من التقنية التحمل الفائق Ultra Durable 2 من الدوائر الإلكترونية منخفضة المقاومة Low RDS (on) MOSFET والتي تختلف عن عن الدوائر الالكترونية المنتظمة لكونها مصممة لتخفيض الطاقة الصادرة أثناء عملية التحويل و تخفيض كمية الطاقة المستهلكة بما يزيد من تحميل أو عدم تحميل الكهرباء الحالية و تقليل الحرارة المتولدة.
   
   الملفات الكهربائية المصنعة من سبيكة الفرييت الملفوف Ferrite Core Chokes – أقل قدر من الطاقة المفقودة
   اذا ما كانت الدائرة الالكترونية في حالة التشغيل، فان النبضات الكهربائية ستتدفق إلى الملفات الكهربائية التي تعمل كوسيط يقوم بتخزين الطاقة وينظمها في الحال. وتساعد الملفات الكهربائية على منع الموجات الكهرومغناطيسية و موجات تردد الراديو الصادرة من مزود الطاقة من التداخل والدائرة الكهربائية. فقد قامت جيجابايت باستخدام الملفات الكهربائية المصنعة من سبيكة الفِرَّيت Ferrite Core Chokes كبديل عن الملفات المصنوعة من الحديد والتي تتكون من الحديد المؤكسد المضغوط وبعض العناصر المعدنية التي تقلل من مقدار الطاقة المنبعثة مقارنة بالملفات المصنوعة من الحديد .
   
   المكثفات الصلبة – عمر أطول
   عند مرور النبضات الكهربائية من الملفات الكهربائية عبر المكثفات تقوم المكثفات بتخزين الكهرباء و توصيلها إلى المكونات التي تحتاج إلى طاقة مثل معالجات الجرافيك. تستخدم جيجابايت كل المكثفات الصلبة لتوفر درجة عالية من الثبات و التي يمكن الاعتماد عليها وزيادة العمر الافتراضي للنظام المستخدمة فى أجهزة الكمبيوتر بشكل عام و زيادة أداء رفع تردد التشغيل.
   
   ومع دعمه لتقنية NVIDIA العالية الأداء (XHD) لزيادة درجة وضوح مشاهد الجرافيك، فان كارت الشاشة الجديد GV-N94T512H يدعم أحدث واجهات مخارج الفيديو مثل Dual Dual-Link DVI بما يزيد من درجة وضوح الشاشة ويسمح باستخدام أعلى كثافة عرض 2560X1600 كما يسمح بالعرض على شاشتين . ويختلف معالج الجرافيك الجديد GeForce® 9400 GT عن الجيل السابق من معالجات الجرافيك لتضمنه معالج فيديو مستقل على الشريحة الرئيسية بما يوفر جودة عالية للصور ويسهل من عرض مشاهد الفيديو أثناء استرجاع ملفات الفيديو.
