GIGABYTE introduced the newest addition to the Silent-Pipe II-series of fanless high performance graphics cards -GV-RX16P256DE-RH VGA card, that features a proprietary front-flow thermal module and revolutionary design employing natural convection to keep the GPU cool. Developed as a total green computing solution, the card's quiet operation reduces noise pollution in it's immediate vicinity while being lead, mercury and cadmium free (amongst others) for RoHS compliance. Rounding off it's suitability for consumer electronics quality video, the GIGABYTE GV-RX16P256DE-RH fully supports Microsoft Direct X 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and integrates with Radeon X1600 Pro VPU and the industry's best 256 MB GDDR2 video memory to ensure high performance PC gaming and digital media playback.
Faster clocks, double the transistor density of erlier 130 nm technology. 90nm technology helped make X1000 products the most advanced GPUs ever highest clocks speeds, incredible feature integration, full performance and precision all the time, and ability to take advantage of future, higher-speed memories.
As a citizen of the global village, GIGABYTE exert ourselves to be a pioneer in environment care. Give the whole of Earth a promise that our products do not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the RoHS Directive, and are capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required for lead free solder. One Earth and GIGABYTE Cares!
3Dc is an exciting new compression technology designed to bring out fine details in games while minimizing memory usage. It is the first compression technique optimized to work with normal maps, which allow fine per-pixel control over how light reflects from a textured surface. With up to 4:1 compression possible, this means game designers can now include up to 4x the detail without changing the amount of graphics memory required and without impacting performance.
