A new series of overclocked graphics cards from Asus
The manufacturer introduced today a new model of your graphics card EAH3850 SMART OC/HTDI/1G. A new series of Smart card bearing the name of OC allows users to raise tensions allotment accelerator with only one button – increasing the efficiency of the card by 12%. Model EAH3850 SMART OC was also equipped with patented solution in the form of illuminating the LED DVI output and strengthen the PCB. Application of cooling called Glaciator maintains a temperature of the core image that is 20 º C lower in comparison to the reference solutions. In addition, the card is equipped with 1GB of graphics memory.
Voltage Power supplies model EAH3850 SMART OC/HTDI/1G can be raised through a special button located above the DVI connector. This way, they are increased only if necessary, without unnecessary waste of electricity. In the raised tensions, users can expect increased core clock graphic and memory respectively from 669MHz to 796MHz and 990MHz to 1100MHz.
The Charter has been equipped with cooling modules Glaciator that effectively scatter the accumulated heat from the core of graphic design. Glaciator can receive heat from the GPU and lower its temperature by up to 20 ° C compared to reference solutions. The module is about half cichszy from standard solutions. In addition EAH3850 SMART OC is provided along with specially designed radiator Cross, which is capable of lowering the temperature CC power supply modules on average by 11 º C.
On the EAH3850 SMART OC used some modern solutions. Patented lighting DVI port makes it easy to connect wires, even in complete darkness, while strengthening the PCB to prevent its excessive wyginaniu. The temperature reactors of the type DIP Spring is about 5 ~ 10 * C lower than conventional reactors with cewkami pierścieniowymi, and produced in Japan polymer capacitors are characterized by lower energy upływami, which ensures greater stability of the device.
