GeCube introduces X1950XTX series graphics card with X-Turbo fan
Press release, February 16; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Friday 16 February 2007]

GeCube has launched an ATI Radeon X1950XTX series graphics card which includes 256MB GDDR3 memory and GeCube's X-Turbo fan with built-in Thermo Electric Chip (TEC), and temperature-controlled devices. The core clock speed of the card not only directly challenges that of X1950XTX level (648MHz) models, its overclocking speed can also reach at least 675 MHz or higher, according to GeCube. Overclocking can be done with ATI's built-in Overdrive control panel, GeCube adds. Even when overclocked, the card is able to maintain temperatures between 70 to 80-degrees C, lower than the normal operating temperature of other vendors cards without overclocking, claims GeCube. Moreover, the temperature monitor allows gamers to overclock at their own will without worrying about overheating and damaging the GPU, the company notes.

The X1950XTX series product supports Shader Model 3.0's newest infrastructure design and 48 pixel pipelines, says GeCube. It also supports High Definition Content Protection (HDCP), Blu-ray, HD DVD, 1080i, and high-definition video output, according to the company. When paired with ATI's AVIVO display technology, the card supports media formats at the current highest resolutions, GeCube adds.
