This GIGABYTE’s product is equiped with the Silent Cell technology, giving us a massive and passive cooler, nicely designed for barbecue…
Features of the GIGABYTE GeForce 9800 GT Silence Cell:
- GPU: G92b @ 600MHz / 55nm (there is an error in GPU-Z)
- Shader cores: 112 @ 1500MHz
- Memory: 1024Mb GDDR3 @ 900MHz
- 3D APIs: OpenGL 3 + Direct3D 10
- Lenght: 260 mm
- Height: 2 slots
