ASUS’ EN7800GT TOP Silent graphics card

Features: ASUSTeK has launched the EN7800GT TOP Silent graphics card which is based on the Nvidia GeForce 7800GT GPU (graphics processing unit) and the SilentCool fan-less thermal technology. It provides support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader model 3.0 for special effects. SilentCool includes a large heatsink design which increases the heat exchange area for absorbing heat away from the GPU. The hidden heat pipe and stacked fins, both made of copper, then transfer heat away from the heatsink for cooling. An additional cooling module attached to the heatsink extends to the exterior of the PC, lowering the GPU temperature. Its engine and memory clock is at 400 MHz and 1 GHz (500 MHz DDR3) respectively, while the video memory has a capacity of 256 MB DDR3. The maximum resolution supported is 2048x1536.
