Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, BFG Technologies ha presentato al grande pubblico la "prima scheda grafica dual-gpu GeForce GTX 295 raffreddata a liquido". La card, che è siglata BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2O with ThermoIntelligence Water Cooling Solution, adotta un sofisticato dissipatore firmato Danger Den, che consente di abbassare di ben 44° la temperatura operativa delle gpu, anche se a beneficiare del cooler è tutta la componentistica, RAM, VRM e chip di I/O inclusi.
Queste le feature della card: le gpu, ciascuna delle quali ospita 240 stream processor, hanno una frequenza di cloclk pari a 576MHz mentre il clock degli shader è a 1242MHz. La memoria RAM, 1792MB di G-DDR3, lavora invece a 1998MHz.
Questa GeForce arriverà sui mercato statunitense ed europeo il prossimo 16 di Febbraio mentre una variante "overclocked by factory" sarà commercializzata durante il prossimo mese di Marzo.
Lake Forest, IL – (February 13, 2009) – BFG Technologies, Inc., the leading North American and European supplier of advanced NVIDIA-based 3D graphics cards, power supplies, and the Phobos High-Performance Gaming/Home Theater System, announced today the BFG GeForce GTX 295 H2O graphics card with ThermoIntelligence Water Cooling Solution.
BFG Technologies has taken their award-winning GeForce GTX 295 dual GPU graphics card and combined it with a highly efficient, thermally advanced copper water block co-developed with the experts at Danger Den to offer a totally silent cooling solution for customers who have an existing water cooling system set up. This BFG ThermoIntelligence water block delivers an exceptional 44°C lower GPU operating temperature (than with air cooling), and cools all heat generating points on the card—GPU, RAM, voltage regulators, and I/O chip.
“Since the GeForce GTX 295 is essentially two graphics cards and two GPUs sandwiched together, developing this ThermoIntelligence water block to work with the GeForce GTX 295 board was more complex than most”, said John Malley, senior director of marketing for BFG Technologies. “Our pre-assembled solution is attractive to those enthusiasts looking for top of the line performance without the risk of building it themselves, and that is also covered by our famous lifetime warranty. Customers purchasing this unit can rest assured that they’ll have the best built water block on the fastest single graphics card on the planet.”
