[Staff]

<br>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.<p>
<blockquote><i>Taipei – Beijing – Hong Kong – Fremont - Munich – London – Malmö - Moscow – June 8th, 2004.<br>
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.<p>
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.<p>



“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.” <br>
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.</i></blockquote><p>
