Asus EAX1600PRO/TD is equipped with exclusive ASUS designs and ATI Radeon X1600PRO GPU and high-speed DDR3 memory. A strong combination of the industry’s fastest PCI Express architecture and rendering pipeline (over 15% faster than generic RADEON X1600PRO Series), ASUS EAX1600PRO/TD is providing superiority, better performance, and cheap price. Containing exclusive technologies, such as ASUS Splendid, GameLive Show, GameReplay, and GameFace Messenger, ASUS EAX1600PRO/TD/ is a new and powerful model targeted to address the entry-level segment of the discrete desktop market. Asus EAX1600PRO/TD as well will deliver extraordinary quality and performance to the most demanding user for 3D games, streaming media, digital video, and office applications.
The EAX1600PRO/I/256M/A is a half-height card, which makes it easily fitted for installation into a standard size PC, or perhaps a slim-line HTPC. With the GPU and memory both running at 400MHz, it does not take much more than the small heatsink/fan to keep things running cool. I nearly expect that Asus forced out as to employ a entirely passive cooling technique, which would have cut down on power consumption and noise output, but the setup as it’s helped us out with overclocking, as you will see later on in the review. To keep things efficient, 256MB of Infineon GDDR3 memory are directed towards the far end of the card, with 2 chips on each side.
Characteristics: Powered by ATi Radeon X1600PRO GPU. 512M DDR2 on board memory with affordable price (EAX1600 PRO/TD/512M). 90 Nanometer Technology for better performance at lower price. New performance architecture makes Shader Model 3.0 features playable for the first time in the mainstream segment. Avivo Technology: revolutionary display, Video, and connectivity capabilities.
