Gigabyte Announces GTX 480 Super Overclock Series Video Card – GV-N480SO-15I
GIGABYTE recently introduced a powerful new addition to its Super Overclock Series: GTX 480 SOC (GV-N480SO-15I). The Gigabyte GTX 480 SOC comes with the core clock at 820MHz, shaders at 1640MHz and the memory at 3800MHz. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 reference design comes at 700MHz core, 1401MHz shader and 3696MHz memory. This is a pretty nice overclock in all honesty. To qualify for Super Overclock Series, a GPU must go through GIGABYTEs innovative GPU Gauntlet Sorting process and it must be equipped with Ultra Durable VGA or VGA+ boards. To satisfy hardcore gamers and extreme overclockers, GV-N480SO-15 is especially designed with GIGABYTE Extreme Dual BIOS technology. GV-N480SO-15I also features WINDFORCE 3X, 14 phase PWM design, OC Guru graphic card smart tuner and voltage read point.
GV-N480SO-15I has incredibly pure power. It is compatible with ATX standard length PCB. 14 phase PWM design includes 12 for GPU, 2 for memory. Standard GTX 480 graphics card has 6+2 power phases whereas GIGABYTEs GTX 480 SOC has 12. Not only does GV-N480SO-15I have more power phases than reference card, the 12 power phase status LED indicators indicate graphics cards current power phase, helping users monitor power consumption. This feature ensures a more stable system and better overclocking capability.
