GIGABYTE Technology Co. LTD., a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, is pleased to launch the latest GeForce GT 440 series graphics cards, GV-N440TC-1GI and GV-N440D3-1GI.

Compared to the previous generation, the latest NVIDIA GT 440 GPU has up to 30% better performance. It also supports DirectX 11 tessellation. GIGABYTE GT 440 series graphics cards also have higher default GPU working frequency, offering users amazing gaming experience.

GIGABYTE GT 440 series graphics cards feature GIGABYTE’s custom-designed 80mm cooler, with air flow optimized cover and aluminum base. The cooler can dissipate heat effectively from the GPU while keeping the fan at lower speed and noise.

GV-N440D3-1GI is integrated with industry’s best 1 GB DDR3 graphics memory while GV-N440TC-1GI is integrated with high speed 512 MB GDDR5 graphics memory, turbo cached to 1 GB.

"30% faster than previous generation"

Gigabyte needs to work on being more truthful in it's advertising.

I like that my GTX260 (3 generations old?

) is still in the mainstream performance area

Yeah... progress!

My 9800GT can run the latest games perfectly, so yea your gtx 260 is mainstream performance area. Are you saying older cards can't run the latest games, because that is not true.

I still consider the GTX260 high end. When I think of mainstream, I think onboard graphics, or some ancient POS like the 6200LE I keep seeing in B&M stores all over for $100.

GTX 260?

this thing is slower than a 8800GTS (640/320mb) based on the g80 from 2006, slower than a 9600GT...
poor gf108... only 4ROPs and 16TMUs...

really exciting an overclocked GT 430

the OEM GT 440 is a much better card (based on gf106)
