ASUS and NVIDIA jointly held channel seminars between 16th and 24th May, 2011 for their partners across six cities. The cities comprised of Delhi, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Bengaluru. The training programme was organized in order to educate and inform channel partners about their upcoming products and technologies.
NVIDIA educated the partners on the technologies incorporated in their latest GPUs featured in ASUS graphics cards. Some of the latest ASUS graphics card models available with NVIDIA GPUs are ENGTX590/3DIS/3GD5, ENGTX560 Ti DCII/2DI/1GD5 and ENGTX550 Ti DC/DIS/1GD5, which also recently got an award by a leading IT magazine. They also explained various techniques to optimize PC performance with their GPUs.
Partners were given details on the latest ASUS' innovations incorporated into their graphics cards like Voltage Tweak, Super Alloy Power, DirectCU and DirectCU II. ASUS Voltage Tweak gives users a quick and accessible way to overvolt the graphics card to its limit for up to 50% faster performance compared to reference design. Super Alloy Power technology uses special alloy formula in critical power delivery components for a 15% performance boost, 35°C cooler operation and 2.5 times longer lifespan. ASUS DirectCU architecture uses copper heat pipes in direct contact with the GPU to speed up heat dissipation for over 20% cooler performance, DirectCU II takes cooling further with twin 100mm fans for 600% airflow.
Vinay Shetty, Country Head, Component Business, ASUS (India), said, "It was a great experience to conduct this training session together with NVIDIA. This initiative guided our partners about our recent launches and product technologies in the graphics cards segment. We expect to hold such programmes from time to time to keep the channel abreast with the latest updates in this segment."
