GigaThread¢â Technology

• Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.

Full Microsoft¢ç DirectX¢ç 10 Support

• World's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.

NVIDIA¢ç SLI¢â Technology

• Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI Express¢ç graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on today's hottest games.

NVIDIA¢ç Lumenex¢â Engine

Delivers stunning image quality and floating point accuracy with ultra-fast frame rates

• 16X Anti-aliasing Technology
  Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges.
   

• 128-bit Floating Point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Lighting
  Twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects-now with support for anti-aliasing.

NVIDIA¢ç Quantum Effects¢â Technology

• Advanced shader processors architected for physics computation enable a new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU-all the while freeing the CPU to run the game engine and AI.

NVIDIA¢ç ForceWare¢ç Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)

• Delivers a proven record of compatibility, reliability, and stability with the widest range of games and applications. ForceWare provides the best out-of-box experience for every user and delivers continuous performance and feature updates over the life of NVIDIA GeForce¢ç GPUs.

OpenGL¢ç 2.0 Optimizations and Support

• Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications.

NVIDIA¢ç nView¢ç Multi-Display Technology

• Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexibility and control for multiple monitors.

PCI Express Support

• Designed to run perfectly with the PCI Express bus architecture, which doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X to deliver over 4 GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers.

Dual 400MHz RAMDACs

• Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates-up to 2048x1536@85Hz

Dual Dual-link DVI Support

• Able to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600.

Built for Microsoft¢ç Windows Vista¢â

• NVIDIA's fourth-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D graphical user interface, included in the upcoming operating system (OS) from Microsoft.

NVIDIA¢ç PureVideo¢â HD Technology

• The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video.

• Discrete, Programmable Video Processor
  NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies with low CPU utilization and power.

• Hardware Decode Acceleration
  Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.

• HDCP Capable
  Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays.

• Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing
  Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater systems.

• High-Quality Scaling
  Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, up to 1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.

• Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction)
  Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video, providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.

• Bad Edit Correction
  When videos are edited after they have been converted from 24 to 25 or 30 frames, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video.

• Noise Reduction
  Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.

• Edge Enhancement
  Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
