Con il comunicato stampa di seguito allegato, MSI ha annunciato la video card di fascia alta N480GTX Twin Frozr II, una soluzione basata sulla gpu NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 di NVIDIA, che si fa notare per l'equipaggiamento con un cooler dual-fan Twin Frozr II che assicura la riduzione, rispetto alle implementazioni reference, sia della temperatura operativa che del rumore prodotto.
La struttura del dissipatore Twin Frozr II è composta da una regione di base a contatto con la gpu in rame, da 8 heat pipe da 8mm, da uno strato di alette di raffreddamento la cui dimensione è tale da ricoprire l'intero PCB in lunghezza e da due ventole da 8cm. In accordo ad MSI, la temperatura viene ridotta di 14°C e il rumore di 4dB.
Le specifiche della scheda grafica sono invece allineate a quelle della versione reference; le frequenze di clock del core grafico, dei Cuda core e della memoria on board (1536MB di RAM G-DDR5) sono pari rispettivamente a 700MHz, 1400MHz e 3696MHz. L'interfaccia tra la gpu e la RAM è implementata mediante un bus a 384-bit mentre la dotazione di porte di uscita include due connettori Dual-link DVI e un connettore mini-HDMI.
Le prestazioni della N480GTX Twin Frozr II possono essere agevolmente incrementate spingendo l'hardware in overclock con l'ausilio del tool proprietario Afterburner.

[Taipei-Taiwan] Internationally renowned graphics card and mainboard manufacturer MSI officially launches the N480GTX Twin Frozr II graphics card. Built on the latest 40nm manufacturing process, the N480GTX Twin Frozr II is equipped with 1536MB of high-speed GDDR5 memory. The exclusive, award-winning Twin Frozr II thermal design meets the performance and thermal demands of graphics enthusiasts.
Along with various exclusive technologies from NVIDIA such as 3D Vision Surround, PhysX, and CUDA, the N480GTX Twin Frozr II allows games to be played at the highest resolutions. The Twin Frozr II dual-fan thermal design from MSI reduces temperature by 14°C and noise by 4dB when compared to the the reference design. Without a doubt, the N480GTX Twin Frozr II is the only and best solution for superb performance, low operating temperature, and quiet performance.
MSI-exclusive Twin Frozr II thermal design: Perfect balance between cooling and noise
The N480GTX Twin Frozr II is equipped with the latest Twin Frozr II thermal design exclusive from MSI. In addition to the large-area copper-base heat-sink and super high-density fins, there are two 8cm PWM fans and 5 heat-pipes integrated by the SuperPipe technology to ensure outstanding cooling performance. When compared with the reference design, the Twin Frozr II can successfully reduce temperature by 14°C and noise by 4dB, thus making it an excellent design to provide the coolest and quietest performance.
MSI Afterburner overclocking software: Unleashing GPU potential with overvoltage
The N480GTX Twin Frozr II also supports the MSI-exclusive award-winning Afterburner overclocking software. Allowing GPU and memory clock adjustment, as well as GPU overvoltage for overclocking enthusiasts, the Afterburner software allows power users to easily unleash and further enhance the overclocking potential of the N480GTX Twin Frozr II. The Kombustor burn-in testing tool co-developed by MSI and FurMark even allows users to test system stability while pushing the performance of the N480GTX Twin Frozr II to the extreme.
Full military class components: Building the product with the best quality
Apart from the outstanding thermal design, the N480GTX Twin Frozr II is built with exclusive Military-Class Components, including the Hi-c CAP (8 times longer life time than general solid capacitors), the Solid State Choke (no buzz noise), and the All-Solid caps (over 10 years expected lifespan). All these components ensure extended lifespan and stability and assure the unbeatable quality of the N480GTX Twin Frozr II.
NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround, PhysX and CUDA technologies: Guarantee for optimal entertainment
In addition to the powerful hardware design, the N480GTX Twin Frozr II supports NVIDIA technologies such as 3D Vision Surround, PhyX, and CUDA computing technologies, pushing the visual experience to its limits.
