Sapphire experimented with silent cards and it even did it for high end cards but this time Tul has decided to follow suit.
Tul goes for heatpiping on X700XT
The company just introduced a X700XT card completely passive heatpipe cooled model. Many complained about X700XT stock cooling so this might be a perfect opportunity. The card is clocked at 475/475MHz and it has 256MB GDDR3 memory and naturally has support for eight pipelines and six vertex Shader units. Dual DVI for around $200+ might be a good deal with decent PCIe graphics for a dual TFT user.
In the standard retail pack you get a thermal detector to monitor your card and an active fan in case you want to cool it. I guess you don't have to use it but it's nice to have. Hitman Contract game and lot of Cyberlink DVD software is bundled with it. The card should be available in the next few weeks. |
