[edit]
Their graphic cards used to be exclusively based on Nvidia chipsets; however, the company also announced ATI-based graphics solutions after the successful launch of ATI 4800-series hardware,[2] although Gainward does not currently produce any cards from the ATI Radeon range.[3]
Gainward traditionally offers overclockable graphic cards that deviate from the reference specifications set forth by Nvidia, such as their Golden Sample range of graphics cards. These cards are overclocked past their stock speeds and tested before they are sold, to ensure quality for customers. Gainward have had success with their Phantom series of graphic cards, featuring removable fans.[4]
