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%.





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 260 Super Overclock Series graphics card delivers a 25% increase in performance compared to a standard GTX 260 card. And a Gigabyte GTX 260 Super Overclock Series card guarantees the same overclocking capability as a standard GTX 260 dual-fan video card, but with lower power consumption.

















GIGABYTE is going to launch the GTX 260 Super Overclock Series, a first shot of the series, in early September. For more details of the Super Overclock Series, please visit the GIGABYTE VGA website at:http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/VGA/Default.aspx

   La GV-N94T-512H de GIGABYTE lidera la industria gracias a su avanzado diseño con la única tecnología Ultra Durable 2 de GIGABYTE. Con eficientes componentes que incluyen el choque con núcleo de ferrita, los Mosfets de bajo RDS(activo) y solo capacitores sólidos Japoneses de alta calidad, las tarjetas de video Ultra Durable 2 de GIGABYTE aseguran el máximo nivel de estabilidad y confiabilidad, temperaturas de trabajo menores y una capacidad de overclock mayor para las plataformas de alto rendimiento de hoy.
   
   MOSFETs de mas bajo RDS(activo)– Ultra Frío
   Un MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) es un interruptor que permite o impide el paso de corriente eléctrica a través de un circuito eléctrico. Las tarjetas de video GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 utilizan MOSFETs de mas bajo RDS(activo). Estos difieren de los MOSFETs habituales en que están especialmente diseñados para producir una menor resistencia al cambio y consumir menos energía. El resultado es una carga y descarga de corriente eléctrica más rápida y una menor generación de calor.
   
   Choque con Núcleo de Ferrita – Menor Pérdida de Energía
   Si el MOSFET está en el estado “activo”, la corriente fluirá al choque. Un choque es un inductor que almacena energía y regula la corriente. La bobina del choque ayuda a prevenir las Interferencias Electromagnéticas (EMI) y las Interferencias por Radio Frecuencia (RFI) desde el circuito de alimentación. En lugar de usar el tradicional choque con núcleo de hierro, las tarjetas de video Ultra Durable 2 de GIGABYTE integran choque con Núcleo de Ferrita que incorporan un compuesto de óxido de hierro y otros elementos metálicos. Estas propiedades del material mantienen la energía mucho más tiempo que los choques comunes de núcleo de hierro a altas frecuencias, obteniendo un menor consumo de energía.
   
   Solo Capacitores Sólidos – Mayor Vida
   Desde el choque, la corriente fluye a través del capacitor. El capacitor almacena la electricidad y la suministra, cuando es requerida, al componente que la necesita como el GPU. GIGABYTE usa solo Capacitores Sólidos para proporcionar la máxima estabilidad, fiabilidad y longevidad de vida al sistema tanto para operaciones diarias del PC como para un mejor rendimiento bajo overclock.
