Gigabyte NX96T512HP (Geforce 9600GT) 

Based on extensive lab testing and previous graphics card development, the GIGABYTE VGA engineering group has designed a revolutionary new VGA card cooling technology which utilizes natural convection inside the chassis to disperse heat. GIGABYTE’s Multi-Core™ Technology utilizes a series of ultra-thin layered fins with nodes of copper to add more cooling points on the heat pipes. Increasing the heat conduction ratio and enhancing overall thermal performance, GIGABYTE’s Multi-Core™ Technology delivers outstanding thermal performance with no fan noise.

Turbo Force Technology
GIGABYTE's proprietary Turbo Force technology that comprises T3 technology and V-tuner2 overclocking application. T3 technology comprises a series of performance tuning process that ensure maximum stability and enhance over 10% performance.

* Performance Assurance Tuning: By using a special verification process to make sure the card maintains excellent performance during tough environmental conditions.
* Stability Tuning: Unique process to measure the chip feature of the GPU and leave enough margin to assure Stability.
* Power Optimization Tuning: Set the best power balance for the selected clock to enhance product stability and avoid overheating.
