Albatron has announced the 9600GT-512X, a new “Performance” VGA card that is already making waves. At more than 80% faster than any 8600 class card, this card will be coming in at prices close to existing leader cards in the same segment. This means that it’s a no-brainer if you are shopping for a Performance or budget-Enthusiast card. The GPU on this card features 65nm process technology which allows the card to run cool and fast with a thin and quiet fan system.
65 nm Process Technology: Lower Power Consumption, Cooler Temperatures, Performance Increase
As mentioned, the GPU on this card sports the new 65 nm Process Technology. This compact circuitry provides lower power consumption leading to cooler temperatures. The cooler temperatures, in effect, allows for the use of quieter and thinner fans. Subsequently, thinner fans mean that the card’s overall thickness will not encroach on adjacent expansion slots like enthusiast cards. In addition, more compact circuitry also means shorter distances for the data to travel, increasing GPU performance. The GPU is an NVIDIA® GeForce® 9600GT with a core clock of 650 MHz and 64 stream processors.
The rest of the Specifications
This board boasts the latest memory technology, giving users 512 MB of fast DDR3 memory (1800 MHz) using a 256-bit bus. The panel connectors include two DVI connectors and an HDTV-out connector. It supports Dual-Link HDCP and is SLI™ ready. The board has a PCI Express x16 connector (PCIe 2.0).
