New Gigabyte Technology graphics accelerators bundled with advanced software


Johannesburg, 15 Jul 2004

Gigabyte Technology has introduced the GV-N68 graphics accelerator series that features two versions (GV-N68U256VH and GV-N68128D) and is powered by NVIDIA`s GeForce 6800 Ultra/6800 GPU.

Distributed by Rectron, these cards deliver up to eight times the shading power of previous generation products and support a wide range of applications from advanced 3D gaming to digital and video cinematography.

NVIDIA`s CineFX 3.0 Engine, for example, powers the cinematic effects in vivid colours, while the shader architecture delivers faster and smoother gameplay.

"The GV-N68 is an appealing choice for all gaming enthusiasts who crave speed, performance and awesome graphics," comments Reon Coetzee, marketing manager at Rectron.

Also, the new GV-N68 series offers full support for Microsoft Direct 9.x Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL 1.5 which enable complex special effects. Moreover, the graphics accelerators feature a cooling system, while running the cards at maximum performance - enabled by the V-TUNER 2 O/C.

Gigabyte has also bundled the GV-N68 series with PowerDVD 5.0 and photo editing software (PowerDirector 3 ME and 3D Album) as well as two action-packed games, SpellForce - The Order of Dawn and Chaser.

The GV-N68 graphics accelerator series features either 258MB/128MB GDDR III memory respectively for the GV-N68U256VH and GV-N68128D and offers a 256-bit memory interface.
