Gainward ha annunciato la nuova serie di schede video basate sulla GPU NV40 di nVidia, che si differenzieranno nel sistema di dissipazione utilizzato (liquido, rame o standard ottimizzato), e nelle frequenze di funzionamento, tutte superiori a quelle standard.

Taipei – Beijing – Hong Kong – Fremont - Munich – London – Malmö - Moscow – June 8th, 2004.
Gainward Co., Ltd., the leading manufacturer of high performance 3D graphics and home entertainment accelerators, announces that with its award-winning Gainward CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600 “Golden Sample”TM Gainward will be first to market with a GeForce 6800 Ultra product priced at € 899. First samples shipped to selected journalists on June 8, first retail products will start shipping to the channel on June 10.

In addition, Gainward is also proud to announce the Gainward PowerPack! Extreme/ 2600 “Golden Sample”TM featuring a hand selected “one out of thousand” GeForce 6800 Ultra chip running at 450 MHz plus carefully qualified 1.6ns DDR3 memory clocked at 1200 MHz. Gainward’s High-Performance/Wide-BandwidthTM hardware design in combination with NVIDIA’s latest driver enhancements is aiming at 20% better real-world performance than previously experienced and with upcoming en-hancements with later driver releases.

“When GeForce 6800 Ultra and X 800 XT were launched, the completely new chip architecture already scored neck and neck with a proven design running “out of breath”,” commented Hans-Wolfram Tismer, Managing director of Gainward’s European operations. “Only 4 weeks later, 6800 Ultra is already winning 75% of the tests, and once the SM3 (Shader Model 3) enabled patches for various games will be-come available this 6800 Ultra GPU will finally unleash its native power.”
The Gainward PowerPack! Extreme/2600 “Golden Sample”TM features the in-dustry’s only “large dual-fan/pure-copper cooler”, Gainward’s so called “HighPer-formance CopperCoolerTM”, introduced at COMPUTEX trade show in Taipei, re-sulting in a significantly lower operating temperature in connection with tremendous headroom for faster clock settings. In addition, and in order to avoid unnecessary noise levels, the fan-speed will be heat controlled from almost unnoticeable < 25 db up to powerful 4.500 RPM for industry leading over clocking headroom.
