G1 GAMING Graphics Cards are forged with only the top-notch GPU via the very own GPU Gauntlet and Ultra Durable VGA components to ensure highest performance without compromising system reliability. Combined with the WINDFORCE cooling system and ultra HD support, gamers can immerse themselves in the most enriched gaming environment than ever before.
<b>GIGABYTE WINDFORCE 3X 600W cooling system</b>
GIGABYTE WINDFORCE 3X 600W cooling system once again break the record and bring the air cooling capacity up to 600W by only using 2 slots heights. The WINDFORCE 3X 600W cooling system is equipped with five 8mm and one 6mm composite cooper heat-pipes , special fin architecture, unique blade fan design, and GIGABYTE “Triangle Cool” technology. This not only provides an effective heat dissipation capacity but also enables higher performance due to a lower temperature.
<b>WINDFORCE 3X With Unique Blade Fan</b>
WINDFORCE 3X cooling system is equipped with high performance pure cooper heat-pipes which direct touch the GPU can strengthen the speed of heat dissipation. Besides, the air flow is effectively enhanced by the unique blade fan design, this not only increase the cooling capacity while reducing air turbulence but also results a lower noise level.
<b>“Triangle Cool” Technology</b>
By the combination of fins and clip module, GIGABYTE innovatively designs the WINDFORCE thermal into a special triangle shape! The patented “Triangle Cool” Technology enhances the efficiency of heat dissipation dramatically by minimizing the turbulences between fans.
<b>Special Fin Architecutre</b>
The special design of unequal fins height does not only enhances the turbulence between the fins but also results in a lower noise level and better cooling capacity.
<b>Illuminated LED</b>
Features illuminated LEDs that can be customized the brightness and animation by"NVIDIA GeForce GTX LED Visualizer".
<b>Stylish Metal Back Plate</b>
Glorious black metal back plate engraved with G1 GAMING logo inspires passion for gaming.
<b>SOC ─ GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting</b>
With GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting, the Gigabyte SOC graphics card guarantees the higher overclocking capability in terms of excellent power switching.
<b>Flex Display technology</b>
GIGABYTE Flex display technology(patent-pending) can automatically detect any connected monitors and achieve multi-display gaming up to 4 monitors at the same time by using various output groups. Users could enjoy the best gaming experience in ultra HD resolution with extended flexibility in arranging monitor configurations and making future system upgrade extremely easy.
<b>Lower GPU Temperature</b>
Ultra Durable VGA board provides dramatic cooling effect on lowering both GPU and memory temperature by doubling the copper inner layer of PCB.
<b>Better Overclocking Capability</b>
Ultra Durable VGA board reduces voltage ripples in normal and transient state, thus effectively lowers noises and ensures higher overclocking capability.
<b>Decrease Power Switching Loss</b>
Ultra Durable VGA board allows more bandwidth for electron passage and reduces circuit impedance. The less circuit impedance, the more stable flow of current and can effectively improve power efficiency.
<b>OC GURU ll</b>
Brand-new intuitive user interface helps you easily modify important settings and directly update driver and BIOS. Clock speeds, voltage, fan performance, and OSD setting can be monitored and tuned in real-time according to your own preference.
