Enter the ASUS Matrix Series
Techtree News Staff, Jul 04, 2008 1925 hrs IST
Asus has launched a new series of intelligent graphics cards - the Matrix series.
Asus has launched new Matrix series graphics cards with the ASUS ROG (Republic of Gamers) EN9600GT MATRIX/HTDI/512M. Touted to be "intelligent" graphic cards, the EN9600GT MATRIX has the same chipset as the original EN9600GT and is equipped with three exclusive features Super Hybrid Engine, Hybrid Cooler Technology and iTracker profiles. Fitting into the mid-range enthusiast cards, the card tries to fit between the power-packed 8800 series and big daddy 9800.
Super Hybrid Engine featured in Matrix cards performs a two-fold function - first it auto-detects the GPU load, temperature, cooling and then adjusts the voltage, clock speeds and fan speeds in real-time as per the graphics requirement. For instance, when your graphics requirement is less, the engine will automatically adjust memory voltage accordingly.
Asus claims that EN9600GT Matrix is capable of GPU and memory voltage boost in the 3D mode from 1.15V up to 1.34V and from 2V up to 2.01V respectively. While in 2D mode, the GPU and memory voltage can be reduced from 1.15V to 0.9V and from 2V to 1.772V respectively. Added to that, the Auto Phase Switch technology can lower the power consumption from 25.54W to 18.82W, along with extremely silent cooling.
The Hybrid Cooler technology keeps a check on system temperature and manages the heat sink and fans to ensure better cooling while saving power. So the fan is automatically controlled based on the advanced GPU load detection.
Finally, the iTracker features four profiles to overclock and monitor the card for entry-level gamers - Optimized Mode, Gaming Mode, Power Saving Mode and Default Mode. The fifth option helps user customize the settings as per specific requirements.
ASUS ROG EN9600GT MATRIX will be available nationwide through Rashi Peripherals Pvt. Ltd. at an estimated price of Rs. 11700 with a three-year warranty.

At 11,700 you can get a Palit HD4850 which is better than this card at stock.
