From the Manufacturer
The Mainstream GPU GeForce2 MX brings the power of NVIDIA's second generation graphics processing units (GPU) to desktop PC computers. The result--the same stunning visual experience PC users expect from NVIDIA GPUs. Leveraging the second generation architecture of the GeForce2 GTS, GeForce2 MX is a robust GPU at mainstream price points. GeForce2 MX uniquely incorporates Digital Vibrance Control (DVC), which makes all images--including 2-D, 3-D, and video--brighter and crisper, even on digital flat panels, with the flexibility of the TwinView dual-display architecture.
Features & Benefits
Digital Vibrance Control (DVC)
Allows the user to adjust color controls digitally to compensate for the lighting conditions of their workspace, in order to achieve accurate, bright colors in all conditions.
NVIDIA Shading Rasterizer (NSR)
Brings natural material properties (smoke, clouds, water, cloth, plastic, etc) to life via advanced per-pixel shading capabilities in a single pass.
Second Generation Transform and Lighting (T&L)
Two separate engines on the GPU that provide for a powerful, balanced PC platform and enable extremely high polygon count scenes. Transform performance determines how complex objects can be and how many can appear in a scene without sacrificing frame rate. Lighting techniques add to a scene's realism by changing the appearance of objects based on light sources.
Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
Guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.
Microsoft DirectX and OpenGL Optimizations and Support
Delivers the best performance and guarantees compatibility with all current and future applications and games.
