Gainward Co., Ltd., the leading manufacturer of high performance 3D graphics and home entertainment accelerators, announces that with its award-winning Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2400 ?Golden Sample?TM Gainward will be first to market with a GeForce 6800 GT running at ?Ultra clock settings? exclusively bundled with DOOM3.
The Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2400 ?Golden Sample?TM is a fully-fledged 16 pipeline / 256 MB DDR3 graphics processor board running up to 20% faster than NVIDIA?s reference design. Featuring hand selected key components the board is guaranteed to run rock-solid 400 MHz core clock and 1100 MHz memory clock pre-cisely matching the clock settings recommended for NVIDIA?s 6800 Ultra chips set, which is currently on heavy allocation.
?If an enthusiast is looking for ?Ultra performance? at ?GT pricing with a minor mark up? the Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2400 ?Golden Sample?TM offers the best bang for your buck, easily outperforming other design running ?out of breath?,? commented Hans-Wolfram Tismer, Managing director of Gainward?s European op-erations. ?Every single review of the past two months has been proven that NVIDIA?s GeForce 6800 architecture in combination with Gainward?s award-winning High-Performance/Wide bandwidth design is the best options to consider.?
The Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2400 ?Golden Sample?TM features the industry?s only ?large dual-fan/pure-copper cooler?, Gainward?s so called ?HighPerformance CopperCoolerTM?, resulting in a significantly lower operating temperature in connec-tion with tremendous headroom for faster clock settings. In addition, and in order to avoid unnecessary noise levels, the fan-speed is heat controlled from almost unnotice-able < 25 db up to powerful 4.500 RPM for industry leading over clocking headroom.
With nView Display Technology the Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2400 ?Golden Sample?TM also supports two monitors simultaneously with two independent 400 MHz RAMDACs for office applications, 3D gaming and professional applications such as CAD, DTP, animation, or video editing. The maximum supported resolution for both displays is 2048 x 1536 @ 85Hz. Depending on the resolution the maximum refresh rate is up to 240 Hz. The integrated NTSC/PAL TV encoder supports resolu-tions up to 1024x768 without the need for panning with built-in Macrovision copy protection.
EXPERToolTM is Gainward?s performance tuning utility that allows the user to easily adjust the engine clock and the memory clock of any Gainward product from NVIDIA?s recommended default settings to even faster settings. Thanks to Gain-ward?s proprietary, rock solid, multi-layer High-Performance/Wide-BandwidthTM hardware design, Gainward offers the end user the choice to run Gainward?s ?Golden Sample? products at ?Enhanced Performance Settings? (both, faster engine clock AND faster memory clock) which guarantee significantly improved ?3D real-world performance? for even higher resolutions at 32 bit color depth.
Robust and Complete Software Support Gainward products support all major OS and software standards with robust, perform-ance enhanced, accelerated software drivers including Microsoft Windows 2000/ ME/XP, Linux, Open GL 1.5, and DirectX 9 to deliver the best performance while assuring the best possible compatibility with current and future applications and games.
