Introduction
NVIDIA's fourth-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D graphical user
interface. World's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects. A blazing
core clock speed of 730 MHz and a 2.26 GHz memory clock give you possibly more speed than you can know what to do with!
SLI Technology delivers up to twice a single GPU's power for unparalleled gaming experiences by allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel. The must-
have feature for performance PCI Express graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on over 60 top PC games. It also features NVIDIA's latest advanced
technologies including GigaThread™ Technology, which, through a massively multi-threaded architecture creates thousands of independent, simultaneous
threads, providing extreme processing efficiency for advanced, next generation shader programs.
Additionally, This amazing unit supports Quantum Effects™ Technology, enabling a new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU as
well as support for NVIDIA's Lumenex™ engine, which introduces 16x Anti-aliasing and 128-bit floating point High-Dynamic-Range (HDR) rendering for the
most realistic lighting effects.
Highlights
NVIDIA Unified Architecture with GigaThread Technology
The Fully-unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics and pixel shading operations, delivering incredibly true-to-
life 3D graphics. In addition, the massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme
processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
Full Microsoft DirectX 10 Support
The world's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.
NVIDIA Lumenex Engine
The NVIDIA Lumenex Engine supports 128-bit and 64-bit floating point HDR with up to 16x anti-aliasing, delivering vividly realistic lighting effects while
obliterating "jaggies".
NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology
NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology enables advanced shader processors architected for physics computation and 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.
HDCP Capable
With integrated High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) support, this card allows playback of HD DVDs, Blu-ray Discs and other protected content
at full HD resolutions.
NVIDIA SLI Technology
Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unmatchable gaming experiences. The must-have feature for PCI Express graphics,
NVIDIA SLI technology allows two graphics cards to run in parallel and dramatically scales performance on today's hottest games.
