Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs – Ultra Cooling
A MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) is a switch that allows or stops electric current to pass through an electric circuit. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 graphics cards utilize Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs. These differ from regular MOSFETS in that they are specially designed to produce lower switching resistance and utilize lower power consumption. The result is faster electric current charging and discharging and less heat generation.

Ferrite Core Choke Design – Low Power Loss
If the MOSFET is in the "on" state, the current will then flow to the choke. A choke is an inductor that stores energy and regulates current. Choke coils help to prevent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from the power supply from interfering with the power circuit. Instead of using the traditional iron core chokes, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 graphics cards feature Ferrite Chokes that are comprised of a compound of iron-oxide and other metal elements. These metal properties hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high frequency, resulting in lower power loss.

All Solid Capacitors – Longer Life

Built upon the foundation of GIGABYTE's highly successful Silent-Pipe series, GIGABYTE's latest Multi-Core™ Technology promises to take passive cooling technologies to a whole new level of cool.

Based on extensive lab testing and previous graphics card development, the GIGABYTE VGA engineering group has designed a revolutionary new VGA card cooling technology centered on the principle of more is better. Utilizing 3 cool points instead of the traditional single node to connect the heat pipes to the fins, GIGABYTE's Multi-Core™ Technology provides additional thermal conductivity for better performance especially during heavy loading. Featuring a series of ultra-thin layered fins with nodes of copper, these added cooling points on the heat pipes help to increase the heat conduction ratio, thereby enhancing overall thermal performance. Using 2 vents to take advantage of the natural convection of airflow inside the chassis, GIGABYTE's Multi-Core™ Technology is able to efficiently disperse the heat from the GPU. In fact, GIGABYTE's Multi-Core™ Technology is so efficient; it is able to cool down the GPU up to 7°C more than by using an active fan cooling design.

In addition to its Multi-Core™ Technology, GIGABYTE has developed the unique Gamer HUD™ (Heads Up Display) utility to allow hardcore gaming enthusiasts to tweak the highest levels of performance from their VGA card. GIGABYTE's Gamer HUD™ utility features the GamerHUD Engine, the world's first software solution to adjust GPU voltage through a software control panel. With multi-level GPU and memory voltage control settings, users are able to squeeze the highest amount of performance from their cards. GIGABYTE's Gamer HUD™ utility also supports adjusting of GPU, shader (NVIDIA only) and memory clock settings, for maximum overclocking performance. Furthermore, an all new PWM Frequency feature is bundled in the latest version of Gamer HUD™, supporting 2 modes of optimized power configurations. Turbo mode provides an increase in power, allowing for better overclocking capabilities. Otherwise, you can simply set it to default.

In addition, GIGABYTE's Gamer HUD™ provides advanced power savings through its auto-optimized 2D/3D GPU frequency switching feature.

The GIGABYTE GV-RX38 Series is leading the industry for top quality design by featuring GIGAYTE's unique Ultra Durable 2 Technology. With highly efficient components such as ferrite core choke coils, low RDS(on) MOSFETs and all Japanese manufactured SMD mounted solid capacitors, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 graphics cards ensure the highest levels of reliability and stability, cooler working temperatures and enhanced overclocking capabilities for today's high performance, high definition platforms.

Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs – Ultra Cooling

A MOSFET (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor) is a switch that allows or stops electric current to pass through an electric circuit. GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 graphics cards utilize Lower RDS(on) MOSFETs. These differ from regular MOSFETS in that they are specially designed to produce lower switching resistance and utilize lower power consumption. The result is faster electric current charging and discharging and less heat generation.

Ferrite Core Choke Design – Low Power Loss

If the MOSFET is in the "on" state, the current will then flow to the choke. A choke is an inductor that stores energy and regulates current. Choke coils help to prevent Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) from the power supply from interfering with the power circuit. Instead of using the traditional iron core chokes, GIGABYTE Ultra Durable 2 graphics cards feature Ferrite Chokes that are comprised of a compound of iron-oxide and other metal elements. These metal properties hold energy much longer than common iron-core chokes at high frequency, resulting in lower power loss.

All Solid Capacitors – Longer Life

From the choke, the current then passes through a capacitor. The capacitor stores electricity and delivers it to the component requiring power such as the GPU. GIGABYTE uses all Solid Capacitors to deliver maximum stability, reliability and longer system lifetime for general PC usage as well as for improved overclocking performance.
