Taipei - Hong Kong - Fremont/Ca., - Munich ? Oct. 1st, 2001.
Gainward Co., Ltd, a leading manufacturer of high performance 3D graphics and home entertainment accelerators, today announced the high-performance, ?Windows XP ready? Gainward GeForce2 TI/500 XP ?Golden Sample?TM and the Gainward GeForce2 TI/450 TV ?Golden Sample?TM
?At an expected street price of less than ?250 incl. VAT a GeForce2 TI graphics card offers by far today?s best price/performance ratio,? commented Hans-Wolfram Tismer, Gainward?s Managing Director Europe, ?most of the computer magazines show graphics cards based on GeForce2 Pro at the top of their monthly TOP 10 list.? ?With the Gainward GeForce2 TI/500 XP ?Golden Sample?TM Gainward takes it a step further to offer ?better than Ultra performance at Pro pricing? for the price sensitive hardcore PC gamer. In addition, we added Gainward?s award-winning home entertainment VIVO feature set in order to maximize the added value for Windows XP and to support Intel?s vision of the extended PC platform.?
The Gainward GeForce2 TI/500 XP ?Golden Sample?TM is today?s most powerful 3D graphics card featuring NVIDIA?s GeForce2 TI GPU, plus 2 video-in and 2 video-out connectors (composite video and S-video) for digital video-recording and digital video-editing applications.
Featuring Gainward?s brand new high-performance/wide-bandwidthTM hardware design, specially developed to take utmost advantage of 64MB of 4.0ns DDR display memory, the Gainward GeForce2 TI/500 XP ?Golden Sample?TM is also potentially the highest performing GeForce2 graphics board ever built in mass production.
With ?Enhanced Mode? enabled the Gainward GeForce2 TI/500 XP ?Golden Sample?TM runs at a faster engine clock and a significantly higher memory clock speed, resulting in up to 30% better 3D real world performance - compared with NVIDIA?s reference design - when running at 1280 x 1024 @32 bpp or even higher resolution. These performance improvements vs. the reference design are possible because Gainward is using a performance enhanced, proprietary hardware design (high-performance/wide-bandwidthTM hardware design), 25% faster DDR memory (4.0ns DDR vs. 5.0ns DDR) and a more efficient cooling device.
The Gainward GeForce2 TI/500 XP ?Golden Sample?TM will be available beginning of October 2001 at an estimated street price of less than 250 ? incl. regional VAT.

EXPERToolTM Performance Tuning Utility
EXPERToolTM is Gainward?s performance tuning utility that allows the user to easily adjust the engine clock and memory clock of any Gainward product from NVIDIA?s recommended default settings to even higher settings. Gainward offers the end user the choice to either run the board at ?Default Settings? or at ?Enhanced Settings? (?Golden Sample? products only, featuring faster memory) which offer enhanced real-world 3D performance for higher resolutions even at 32 bit color depth. Performance tuning is the most commonly used method among the ultimate power gamers to extract the utmost performance out of a high quality 3D graphics card. In computers with good ventilation, graphics boards can potentially run faster than in systems where the heat cannot dissipate. Gainward kept its design flexible, and in order to run at the highest clock settings possible most of Gainward?s 3D graphics accelerators also features efficient heat control including a large, high performance cooling fan.
Robust and Complete Software Support
Gainward also supports all major OS and software standards including Microsoft Windows 95/98/2000/NT4.0/ME/XP, Linux, Open GL ICD, and DirectX 8.0 to deliver the best performance while assuring the best possible compatibility with current and future applications and games. Gainward?s products are also backed by a free driver update support through the internet, telephone/fax/e-mail hotline support and a 36 months limited warranty. (www.gainward.com, www.gainward.de)
