Gainward ha sempre stupito per le sue proposte nel campo delle schede video proponendo suluzioni estreme. Oggi continua a stupirci con la soluzione CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600PCX "Golden Sample" SLI-ready, ovvero due schede video GeForce 6800Ultra 256 MB, con frequenze per core memorie pari a 450/1200MHz, raffreddate a liquido. I prezzi del "kit" si aggirano sui 1700Euro mentre il costo di una singola scheda e' di circa 900Euro. Di seguito il comunicato ufficiale.

Gainward Co., Ltd., the leading manufacturer of high performance 3D graphics and home entertainment accelerators, announces that it will be first to market with the world’s most powerful 3D graphics processor board configuration for the PCI-E bus integrating two water-cooled NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra boards running in SLI mode.

Each of the two Gainward CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600 PCX “Golden Sample” TM 3D processor boards features a hand selected GeForce 6800 Ultra GPU running at 450Plus MHz core clock, 256 MB of carefully qualified 1.2 GHz DDR3, video-out, dual DVI, plus integrated Gainward CoolFXTM water cooling.

The Gainward CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600 PCX “Golden Sample”TM can also work “SLI-ready” as a single slot configuration to be upgraded with a second board for SLI operation later.

The Gainward CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600 PCX “Golden Sample”TM is available starting early March 2005 through Gainward’s worldwide distribution and retail network and is priced at € 899 incl. VAT. Gainward will also offer the Gainward CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600 PCX “Golden Sample”TM SLI configuration with two CoolFX PowerPack! Ultra/2600 PCX “Golden Sample”TM boards in a single retail box priced at € 1699 incl. VAT.

„Especially for high-performing SLI configurations consuming over 400 Watts of power air cooling is either inefficient, noisy, or both, whilst Gainward CoolFXTM water cooling is around 25 times more efficient and almost silent”, commented Hans- Wolfram Tismer, Managing Director of Gainward Europe. „The advantages of Gainward CoolFXTM are increased 3D performance at 50 - 150 MHz higher clock speeds and quiet operation targeting the 3D enthusiasts as well as professionals seeking a noiseless solution for their work place.”

In order to offer today’s most reliable and long lasting water cooling solution Gainward has partnered with innovatek, today’s leading manufacturer of liquid cooling solutions, based in Stammham, Germany............
