GeForce GTX 260 Hydro Copper 16
EVGA Introduces the Hydro Copper 16 Waterblock!
From the EVGA Engineering and Development labs, the EVGA Hydro Copper Waterblock Series was born. EVGA continues to intelligently innovate with the introduction of the next legend within the Hydro Copper Waterblock series: The EVGA Hydro Copper 16 Waterblock, for the GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics cards.
Featuring a sleek-modern look and a full copper design, EVGA continues to incorporate only the best attributes that make up the Hydro Copper Waterblock Series. An extreme high flow path design with a unique, integrated pressure point allows the Hydro Copper 16 Waterblock to keep your GTX 280 or GTX 260 as cool as can be while under even the heaviest of graphical loads.
Exclusive only to EVGA, patent pending -flow technology aids in dispersing heat from GTX 280 and GTX 260 graphics processing unit (GPU). EVGA also provides full coverage with the addition of a heat-piped back plate that links with the Hydro Copper 16 Waterblock using patent pending "Co-op technology."
NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology.
Dramatically scales performance by allowing two graphics cards to be run in parallel. Only available on select PCI-Express models.
Full Microsoft® DirectX® 10 Shader Model 4.0 Support.
Also known as the Unified Shader Model, the Vertex shaders, Geometry shaders, and Pixel shaders are combined in to one unified shader. Also backwards compatible with DirectX® 9.
True 128-Bit Floating Point High Dynamic-Range (HDR).
Allows you to experience cinematic, life like environments, for an amazing graphics experience.
PCI Express® 2.0 / 1.1 Support.
Allows 500MB a lane or up to 8 GB/s at 16x speeds - allows for full support for new PCI-E 2.0 graphics cards.
2nd Generation Unified Shader Architecture.
The latest in Unified Shader Architecture Technology, offering 50% more performance through 240 enhanced processing cores.
NVIDIA® CUDA™ Support.
Accelerates CUDA based applications through the GPU's proccessing power allowing for faster application performance such as video transcoding.
NVIDIA® PhysX™ Ready.
Enjoy more visual immersion with life like physics for a more dynamic experience.
NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD Technology.
Smooth video, accurate colors, precise image scaling, video decode acceleration and post processing, all provided by the graphics card to give you the best HD experience possible. This feature also offloads from the CPU to help reduce power consumption.
NVIDIA® HybridPower™ Technology.
The latest in GPU power technology, when in an idle state, the GPU will draw minimal power, reduce fan noise, and temperature. When GPU processing power is needed, full power is restored, unleashing the GPU for full visual acceleration.
OpenGL® 3.0 Support.
Supports the latest version of OpenGL.
