“Player” GeForce GT 440 was born

Colorful has created two iGame products from the low-end solution.

Colorful today is one of NVIDIA’s largest partners in the Asian region, which has now chosen the green GeForce GT 440 video card as the basis for its new products. A GT 440 a couple weeks ago started with the GF108 GPU. Colorful will launch two versions on CeBIT, one is iGame440 1G Ymir-U while the other is iGame440 1G Buri-Slim. The latter, as its name suggests, will be a slim design version where cooling takes up one card slot. The other is a more muscular solution, as far as the cooling solution is concerned, because a dual-slot cooler does its job, and it is done very quietly. In addition to the increased cooling capacity, a factory overdrive has also been included in this product, where the company is talking about a 5% power jump. Contrary to NVIDIA's recommendation, the GF108's graphics processor clocked at 810 MHz instead of 850, while GDDR5 memory chips tick at 3,2 GHz instead of 3,8 GHz, with the Slim version featuring 810 / 3.600 MHz pairs.

Both models are built around exactly the same printed circuit board that also comes with a 6-pin PCI-E connector, so power consumption may not fit in 75 watts. Instead of the recommended 512 MB, they have 1 GB of GDDR5 memory cards. The composition of the video outputs has also changed, with two DVI and one HDMI on the back panels. As mentioned earlier, the two newcomers will be on display at CeBIT in early March and are likely to land on Asian store shelves thereafter.
