ASUS today introduced the EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M graphics card, which features enhanced performance for the latest game titles and advanced silent cooling technology. Powered by ATI's RADEON X1650PRO GPU, the new ASUS graphics card supports 256MB DDR3 memory and the ASUS-developed Splendid Video Intelligent Technology for high-quality visual experiences.

The EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M, with 256MB DDR3 memory, provides a 24% performance hike when compared with competing solutions based on DDR2 memory, according to Asus.

The EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M incorporated two heat pipes to transfer heat generated by the GPU to the card's back side, and then leverage the CPU fan to maintain system temperature.

With Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, found exclusively in ASUS solutions, images processed by ASUS graphics cards are enhanced and fine tuned to deliver more vibrant visual representations in conditions most favorable to human eyes. Splendid can also work on top of ATI's Avivo technology. While Avivo provides sharp decoded video, Splendid dynamically adjust color, brightness, sharpness and contrast.

The EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M is now available worldwide.
