GIGABYTE G1 Gaming Series graphics cards are crafted for perfection in pursuit of the ultimate graphics experience for gaming enthusiasts. Based on the revolutionary AMD® Radeon ™ GPU architecture, G1 gaming graphics card brings you incredible gaming experience.
<b>WINDFORCE 2X Cooling System</b>
The WINDFORCE 2X cooling system features 3 pure copper composite heat-pipes, heat-pipe direct touch GPU, 90mm unique blade fan design, 3D active fan with LED indicators, stylish metal back plate, together delivering an effective heat dissipation capacity for higher performance at lower temperatures.
<b>90mm Unique Blade Fan Design</b>
The airflow is spilt by the triangle fan edge, and guided smoothly through the 3D stripe curve on the fan surface, effectively enhancing the air flow by 23% over traditional fans.
<b>3D Active Fan with LED Indicators</b>
The semi-passive fans will remain off when the GPU is under a set loading or temperature for low power gaming. The LED fan indicator on the top of the graphics card provides an instant display of the fan status.
<b>Composite heat-pipes</b>
The composite heat-pipes combines both thermal conductivity and phase transition for efficiently managing the transfer of heat between two solid interfaces which increases 29% of cooling capacity.
<b>3 Heat-Pipes Direct Touch</b>
The pure copper heat pipes are shaped to maximize the direct contact area to the GPU.
<b>16.8M Customizable Color Lighting</b>
With 16.8M customizable color options and numerous lighting effects, you could now choose the right scheme for your gaming rig through XTREME Engine utility.
<b>Stylish Metal Back Plate</b>
The metal back plate offers rigidity and protection to the structure, while adding a sleek, clean look to the product.
<b>One-click Super overclocking</b>
With a simple click on XTREME engine utility, gamers can easily tune the card to meet their various gaming requirements without any overclocking knowledge, while saving the hassle of manual adjustment.
<b>GPU Gauntlet™ Sorting</b>
Forged with only the top-notch GPU, the Gigabyte G1 GAMING graphics cards guarantee higher overclocking capability in terms of excellent power switching, ensuring the highest performance without compromising system reliability.
<b>Smart Power LED indicators</b>
Be alert when PCI-E voltage is unstable with the smart power LED indicator.
<b>Ultra Durable Materials</b>
Engineered with the highest-grade chokes and capacitors, this graphic card delivers outstanding performance and durable system lifespan.
<b>Built for OverClocking with 6+2 power phases</b>
Compared to reference design, the 6+2 power phases on the card make the MOSFET working at a lower temperature and provide more stable voltage output.
<b>Intuitive XTREME Engine Utility</b>
Adjust clock speeds, voltage, fan performance, RGB lighting effect, power target, OSD setting can be monitored and tuned in real-time according to your own preference through this intuitive interface.
