Leadtek’s WinFast PX9800 GX2 Ships
Leadtek is hot on the heels of MSI. The WinFast PX9800 GX2 combines the power of two nVidia GeForce 9800 GPUs in a single graphics solution and 256 screaming fast stream processors. This, it’s also the world’s fastest graphics solution. It too boasts nVidia HybridPower technology.
Powered by 65nm technology and nVidia multi-GPU technology, the WinFast PX9800 GX2 comes with 1GB of 512-bit GDDR3 memory. It is also designed for the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering the highest data transfer speeds for the most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications. At the same time it maintains backwards compatibility with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.
With the latest Microsoft DirectX 10 with full Shader Model 4.0 support, PX9800 GX2 should deliver realistic film quality gaming effects, guaranteeing the best 3D graphics under Windows Vista. Furthermore, nVidia HybridPower technology lets you switch to the motherboard GeForce GPU when running non graphically-intensive applications for a silent, low-power PC experience.
Featuring second generation nVidia PureVideo HD technology engine, the PX9800 GX2 enables HD gaming at eye-watering resolutions of up to 2560×1600 pixels with all available in-game features turned on. Besides, the new card delivers hardware acceleration of HD movies and dual-stream picture-in-picture content for the ultimate interactive Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience. Meanwhile, with an integrated HDMI connector, it allows you to send both high definition video and audio signals to your HDTV via a single cable.
The card comes bundled with Neverwinter Nights 2. No pricing has been announced, but it’ll set you back at least £400.
