Sydney, Australia, October 1 2008 – ASUS, manufacturer of top quality graphic solutions, has released the new EAH4670 and EN9400GT Series graphics cards with the latest ATI Radeon™ HD 4670 and NVIDIA GeForce™ 9400GT GPUs (respectively).

Catering to astute users looking to enhance the home theatre experience, the EAH4670/DI/1G and EN9400GT/HTP/1G are equipped with a mammoth-sized 1GB of onboard memory designed for feature-rich DirectX 10 gaming and the best multimedia playback at ultra-high resolutions. Furthermore, the EN9400GT D3/HTP/512M comes with improved 1ns memory modules offering 21% improvement in gaming and multimedia performance, while the ASUS EAH4670 Series utilises a specially designed fansink with highly-effective heat dissipation to lower GPU temperatures by 15ºC.

Memory size is vital when it comes to graphical performance, as even a powerful GPU can suffer from bottlenecks due to slow and insufficient video memory. With more memory installed on a graphics card, more data can be stored – providing faster graphical performance. Most current and upcoming games require increasingly high video memory requirements. The ASUS EAH4670/DI/1G and EN9400GT/HTP/1G are each equipped with an enormous 1GB built-in memory, delivering greatly enhanced visual performances and allowing users to fully enjoy games or movies without lag or stuttering – even at very high resolutions and maximum quality settings.

The ASUS EN9400GT D3/HTP/512M with cutting-edge 1ns memory modules delivers memory clock performance boosts from 800MHz(DDR2) up to an incredible 1.8GHz(DDR3). Such unprecedented performance boosts help raise the EN9400GT’s 3DMark06 score from 3227 to 3890 – an astonishing 21% faster in comparison to generic graphics cards*.

The ASUS EAH4670 Series with a specially designed fansink effectively dissipating heat away from the graphics card, quickly transfers heat away from the GPU to lower temperatures by a whopping 15ºC in comparison to reference design boards**. Besides this extraordinary cooling capacity, the fansink operates 16dB quieter than generic designed fansinks – catering to users who require maximum cooling without excessive fan rotation noise***.

The HDMI format is defined, specified and governed by HDMI Licensing, LLC in the USA. “HDMI Certified” products meet strict criteria as set out by HDMI Licensing. Utilising any HDMI product that is not approved may result in poor performance, and can even void the warranty on other HDMI enabled hardware.

Keeping in line with ASUS’ Rock Solid promise for quality, the EAH4670 and EN9400GT Series both come with several solutions to deliver top quality graphic performances. The LF PAK MOS guarantees more efficient power with less heat generation, while Japan-made solid capacitors lower power loss for more stable operations – even over long-term usage. Additionally, the EAH4670 Series comes with EMI shielding to reduce 66% EMI interference – producing more stable signals, while DIP Spring Chokes lower temperatures by 5~10°C in comparison to traditional Toroidal Coil Chokes.

Overall, the EAH4670 and EN9400GT Series graphics cards are certified, trusted graphic solution products that offer users extreme graphical performances, delivering stunning visuals for a superior multimedia experience.
