Taipei, Taiwan, 26th October, 2004--Info-Tek, producer of the leading GECUBE brand name graphics cards, today marks the release of the new GECUBE RADEON® X700 series graphics card, which rounds off GECUBE's complete line of PCI Express (PCIe) graphics cards and gives consumers an even wider range of choice. The GECUBE RADEON® series also includes the high-end GECUBE RADEON® X800, the X600 and X300 series.



Powered by the ATI RADEON® X700 core chipset, the X700 series graphics card uses high-level 0.11 micrometer processing and includes a 16x PCI-Express interface. The X700 series graphics cards offers power and performance with 8 pixel pipelines and 6 vertex engines, with a clock speed of 475 MHz. Compared to similar products, the X700 series is a market leader – it supports SM2.0B and DirectX®9, providing gamers with platform efficiency and the best picture quality with sharp and accurate colours.



GECUBE’s RADEON® X700 series builds on ATI® Technologies consistent, high-end structural designs, which use SMARTSHADER™, VIDEOSHADER™, HYPER Z™ HD and VIDEOSHADER™ HD technologies. These features improve the colour saturation level of images in games and application programs while bringing more power and efficiency.



Larry Yeo, General Manager of Info-Tek's Multimedia Business Unit said, "The market has waited in anticipation for the high-speed efficiency that PCI Express cards promise -- the Radeon X700 graphics cards complete GECUBE's PCIe product line, allowing GECUBE to provide consumers with the widest-ranging choice in graphics cards while establishing a solid foothold in the market."
