Radeon X1300 Pro, 256MB GDDR2, DVI-I / D-sub / TV-OUT, PCI-E

Introduction

GIGABYTE Technology introduced a series of VGA cards that will feature the revolutionary 90 nanometer Radeon® X1300 Pro visual processors, high-performance 256MB DDRII video memory, and unique GIGABYTE Silent-Pipe soundless heat pipe cooling technology. With the Ultra-threaded core 3D architecture and optimized shader engine, the GV-RX13P256D-RH not only fully supports Microsoft® Direct® X 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, but also greatly improves the efficiency and quality of image rendering.

90nm Technology

Faster clocks, double the transistor density of erlier 130 nm technology. 90nm technology helped make X1000 products the most advanced GPUs ever highest clocks speeds, incredible feature integration, full performance and precision all the time, and ability to take advantage of future, higher-speed memories.

Ultra-Threaded Shader Engine

- Full speed 128-bit floating point processing for all shader operations
- Up to maximum 512 simultaneous pixel threads
- Dedicated brach execution units for high performance dynamic branching and flow control
- Dedicated texture address units for improved efficiency

Ring Bus Memory Technology

- Maximum 512-bit internal ring bus for memory reads
- Programmable intelligent arbitration logic
- New cache design
- Improved HyperZ™

RoHS Compliant

As a citizen of the global village, GIGABYTE exert ourselves to be a pioneer in environment care. Give the whole of Earth a promis that our products do not contain any of the restricted substances in concentrations and applications banned by the RoHS Directive, and are capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required for lead free solder. One Earth and GIGABYTE Cares!

3Dc™

3Dc is an exciting new compression technology designed to bring out fine details in games while minimizing memory usage. It is the first compression technique optimized to work with normal maps, which allow fine per-pixel control over how light reflects from a textured surface. With up to 4:1 compression possible, this means game designers can now include up to 4x the detail without changing the amount of graphics memory required and without impacting performance.

Catalyst™ Control Center

ATI's all-new Catalyst Control Center goes far beyond traditional driver configuration software—it's a feature-rich and stable 3D acceleration control application that puts you in complete command of your ATI visual processing unit (VPU). Catalyst Control Center offers exceptional graphics performance and visual quality for the ultimate in performance, stability, and innovation. Safe GPU overclocking, custom profiles, and assignable hotkeys are just a few of the many new features. You'll also enjoy frequent updates, reliable customer service, and an interactive user feedback program, all backed by ATI's technical confidence, industry-leading capability, and uncompromising commitment to creating your ultimate visual experience.

Avivo™

Avivo™could provide vibrant high fidelity, flawlessly smooth next-generation video playback. Avivo™ technology easily allows your PCs to become digital home media center by its compelling video pipeline design that comprises the latest high definition video hardware acceleration, including H.264 and WMV9.

Cross Fire™

Multiply and Conquer with Multi-GPU Performance: CrossFire's "supertiling" GPU sharing speeds rendering by evenly dividing the graphics processing, intelligently alternating the rendering workload to each Radeon GPU for efficient load balancing, and optimized performance.CrossFire boosts image quality along with rendering speed, eliminating the need to crank down screen resolutions to get the high image quality you want.CrossFire supports a wide range of ATI-based graphics cards and motherboards, and offers compatibility with a broad array of third party components for a flexible and robust solution.

OpenGL 2.0® Optimizations and Support

Ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all OpenGL 2.0 application.

Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0C

Ensures the best performance and application compatibility for all DirectX 9.0C applications.

PCI Express

Designed to run perfectly with the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers.

Silent-Pipe Technology

Fast heat spreading without a sound: Heat pipe is filled with liquid material to transmit the heat generated from the heat source side: GPU side, to the other side of a graphic card. Heat is to be brought by vaporized liquid to the other side of the pipe, then for capillarity force, water from cooled steam will go back to the heat source side to begin its thermal trip again, hence, Silent-Pipe enables a graphic card to run quiet and fast to meet the needs of users who has a preference for tranquility at work.

GIGABYTE V-tuner2

Real time monitoring the temperature, cooling fan speed and voltage of the graphics card, and dynamically control the working frequency and fan speed to let your graphics card always run at the best condition. GIGABYTE V-tuner2 provides a user-friendly and simple interface for overclocking, and allows users to dynamically adjust core and memory clocks.

GIGABYTE @VGA

To make it easier update the VGA BIOS than before and help users update the latest VGA BIOS from Internet automatically.
