GIGABYTE Expands XTREME GAMING Lineup

GIGABYTE Expands XTREME GAMING Lineup

GPUs Nov 11,2015 0

With the debut of the GTX 950 XTREME GAMING graphics card, GIGABYTE, is ready to roll out five more factory-oveclocked cards in its XTREME GAMING lineup. The latest XTREME GAMING series offerings include TITAN X (GV-NTITANXXTREME-12GD-B), GTX 980 Ti WINDFORCE Edition (GV-N98TXTREME-6GD) and WATERFORCE Edition (GV-N98TXTREME W-6GD), GTX 980 (GV-N980XTREME-4GD), and GTX 970 (GV-N970XTREME-4GD).

The new graphics cards are forged with the top-notch GPU core through the own GPU Gauntlet Sorting technology that guarantees an overclocking proficiency in terms of power switching. Along with the substantial factory overclock compared to the reference design, the memory is also overclocked. The GTX 980 Ti XTREME GAMING is further equipped with LN2 BIOS and an extra 6-pin PCI-E power connector, giving overclockers even more freedom to tweak the performance to the extremes with the simple press of a button.

Each air-cooling XTREME GAMING graphics card features the WINDFORCE 3X triple-fan system with composite copper heat-pipes, unique blade fan design, and GIGABYTE 'Triangle Cool' technology.

The WINDFORCE 3X triple-fan system also features 3D-Active fan, the first 0dB semi-passive fan design +introduced by GIGABYTE back in 2007.

Both the TITAN X and the GTX 980 Ti XTREME GAMING WINDFORCE edition further adopt the alternate spinning fan design, as the middle fan spins in the reverse direction to optimize air flow to dissipate heat more effectively. This design enhances the thermal efficiency of the available cooling area, delivering a heat dissipation capacity up to 700W.

The GTX 980 Ti XTREME GAMING also offers the WATERFORCE edition for those favor the liquid cooling solution. The all-in-one, closed-loop water cooling system features the full-coverage cooling module covering not only the GPU, but also the heat-generating VRAM and MOSFET.

The FEP tubes can prevent the leak and fare a lower coolant evaporation rate. Coupled with the 120mm silent fan and the low-noise pump, the graphics card is able to perform up to 38.8% cooler than the reference cooling in operating temperature, according to GIGABYTE.

Armored with a metal back plate, each XTREME GAMING graphics card is applied with a coating to shield against moisture, dust, and corrosion. Hardcore gamers who practice water-cooling or even LN2 overclocking could also benefit from this feature to reduce the risks of damages caused by coolant residue or leaks.

The XTREME GAMING graphics cards are also fitted with a smart power LED indicator next to the power connectors (available on selected models). When experiencing any power abnormality, the indicator will alert gamers by flashing light. Abnormal power-related events will recorded in the system as well through OC GURU utility software as a reference for troubleshooting.

In addition to the stylish metal back plate, the aesthetics of the XTREME GAMING series graphics cards is now backlit with new RGB LED illumination. The LED angle eyes light up the cooling fans along with the WINDFORCE emblem (available on selected models). Gamers are able to customize their own builds that best suit their gaming ambience with multiple color options and light effects using OC GURU.

The XTREME GAMING graphics cards support GIGABYTE OC GURU to provide gamers with OC capability and full control through its interface. Users can perform precise control on the graphics card, including core clock adjustment, fan speed, power or temperature targets, and LED illuminations.
