Press release, August 15; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES Asia 0

Asustek Computer introduced the Asustek EAH2600PRO/HTDI/256M and EN8600GT/HTDI/256M graphics cards that feature bundled high-quality HDMI adaptors certified by HDMI Licensing.

Both models utilize specially designed cooling fans and heatsinks to dissipate heat efficiently for better cooling in comparison to reference design boards, noted the company.

Each card features either AMD's Avivo HD or NVIDIA´s PureVideo HD technology, to provide hardware acceleration for video decoding, noted the company.

The Asustek EAH2600PRO and EN8600GT also come with the exclusive Asustek GamerOSD. This feature is able to deliver GPU overclocking and chat options from onscreen displays during gameplay. Additionally, it also provides users with the option to record live gaming action or live broadcasting over the Internet, added the company.
