ASUS' EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M Graphics Card

ASUS has introduced the EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M graphics card, which features enhanced performance for the latest game titles and advanced silent cooling technology. Powered by ATI's RADEON X1650PRO GPU, the new ASUS graphics card supports 256MB DDR3 memory and the ASUS-developed Splendid Video Intelligent Technology for high-quality visual experiences. The EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M, with 256MB DDR3 memory, provides a 24% performance hike when compared with competing solutions based on DDR2 memory.

The EAX1650PRO Silent GAMER EDITION/HTD/256M incorporated two heat pipes to transfer heat generated by the GPU to the card's back side, and then leverage the CPU fan to maintain system temperature. Hence, the ASUS graphics card does not exacerbate a PC's acoustic issues, and yet still enables excellent performance.

With Splendid Video Intelligence Technology, found exclusively in ASUS solutions, images processed by ASUS graphics cards are enhanced and fine tuned to deliver the most vibrant visual representations in conditions most favorable to human eyes. Splendid can also work on top of ATI's Avivo tm technology. While Avivo provides sharp decoded video, Splendid dynamically adjust color, brightness, sharpness and contrast to deliver video quality comparable to those on the very best TVs.
