Key Features

NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology

Dramatically scales performance by allowing two graphics cards to be run in parallel. Only available on select  PCI-Express models.

Full Microsoft® DirectX® 10 Shader Model 4.0 Support

Also known as the Unified Shader Model, the Vertex shaders, Geometry shaders, and Pixel shaders are combined in to one unified shader. Also backwards compatible with DirectX® 9.

True 128-Bit Floating Point High Dynamic-Range (HDR)

Allows you to experience cinematic, life like environments, for an amazing graphics experience.

PCI Express® 2.0 / 1.1 Support

Allows 500MB a lane or up to 8 GB/s at 16x speeds - allows for full support for new PCI-E 2.0 graphics cards.

2nd Generation Unified Shader Architecture

The latest in Unified Shader Architecture Technology, offering 50% more performance through 240 enhanced processing cores.

NVIDIA® CUDA™ Support

Accelerates CUDA based applications through the GPU's proccessing power allowing for faster application performance such as video transcoding.

NVIDIA® PhysX™ Ready

Enjoy more visual immersion with life like physics for a more dynamic experience.

2-Way SLI® Support

Feel free to turn up the eye candy and experience the performance of 2 Graphics Cards running together.

NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD Technology

Smooth video, accurate colors, precise image scaling, video decode acceleration and post processing, all provided by the graphics card to give you the best HD experience possible. This feature also offloads from the CPU to help reduce power consumption.

Superior Full Copper Desgin

create d from a solid copper block, this choice of material allows for extreme thermal conductivity, thus providing the best thermal performance available for liquid cooling.

High Flow Liquid Desgin

Internal high flow liquid paths allow for coolant to get in and get heat out as quickly and as effeciently as possible.

Full Component Coverage

This feature assures that all components of the GTX 280 or GTX 260 that create  heat make contact with the waterblock to assure optimum cooling performance.

Integrated Internal Pressure Points

Pressure Points are integrated to assure that liquid evenly cools the GPU area of the Hydro Copper 16 Waterblock. This ensures the GTX 280 or GTX 260 get the best in liquid cooling performance.

EVGA Internal E-Flow Design

Exsclusive to EVGA, this unique, internal pattern, provides optimal cooling for the GTX 280 and GTX 260 GPU without restricting liquid the high flow desgin of the Hydro Copper Waterblock series.

OpenGL® 3.0 Support

Supports the latest version of OpenGL
