Product Description

From the Manufacturer

NVIDIA introduces the GeForce4 Ti-delivering the most radically immersive graphic environments ever seen on a desktop PC.

Groundbreaking features including the advanced nfiniteFX II engine, superior Accuview Antialiasing techniques and flexible nView multi-display technology, deliver screaming performance and fierce processing power -- for truly unmatched ferocious graphics power.

• nfiniteFX II Engine
  The NVIDIA nfiniteFX II engine incorporates dual programmable vertex shaders, faster pixel shaders and 3-D textures--giving developers the freedom to program a virtually infinite number of custom special effects to create true-to-life characters and environments. nfiniteFX II is a feature of all GeForce4 Ti GPUs; the GeForce4 4200 Go GPU; and the Quadro4 980, 900, and 750 XGL GPUs.
• AGP 8X
  Provides double the bandwidth of AGP 4X 2.1 Gbps vs. 1.1 Gbps AGP 8X enables more complex models and detailed textures, creating richer and more lifelike environments. Uninterrupted data flow allows for smoother video streaming and faster, more seamless gameplay.
• Accuview Antialiasing
  The Accuview Antialiasing subsystem with advanced multisampling hardware delivers full-scene antialiased quality at performance levels never before seen.
• Lightspeed Memory Architecture II
  LMA II boosts effective memory bandwidth by up to 300 percent. Radical new technologies?including Z-occlusion culling, fast Z-clear, and auto pre-charge?effectively multiply the memory bandwidth to ensure fluid frame rates for the latest 3-D and 2-D games and applications.
• Shadow Buffers
  Part of the nfiniteFX II and nfiniteFX Engines, shadow buffers enable self-shadowing for characters and objects, and soften the edges of shadows for realistic effects, adding depth to scenes and highlighting spatial relationships between objects.
• High-Definition Video Processor (HDVP)
  Turns your PC into a fully functional DVD player, and an HDTV player with the purchase of an additional third-party decoder.
• Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
  Part of the NVIDIA Forceware unified software environment (USE). The NVIDIA 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.
• Advanced Pixel Shaders
  Part of the nfiniteFX II Engine, advanced Pixel Shaders alter lighting and surface effects that replace artificial, computerized looks with materials and surfaces that mimic reality. Technical advancements deliver substantial performance improvement in all areas, especially three and four texture performance.
• AGP 4X/2X and AGP Texturing Support
  Takes advantage of new methods of transferring information more efficiently, and allows content developers to use high-quality, 32-bit color textures and high-polygon-count scenes.
• Dual Vertex Shaders
  Part of the nfiniteFX II Engine, dual Vertex Shaders are used to breathe life and personality into complex characters and environments. By driving more than 100 million processed vertices per second, dual Vertex Shaders make massively populated scenes rich in detail possible.
• Highest Quality and Highest Performance Microsoft Windows XP Support
  Fully accelerates Windows XP multimedia and user interfaces, making it the ideal Windows XP graphics solution.
• Lossless Z-Compression
  LMA II contains a lossless form of Z-compression that delivers a 4:1 benefit. Compression is a crucial technique in saving memory bandwidth for higher performance.
• Microsoft DirectX 8.X and OpenGL 1.3 Optimizations and Support
  Delivers the best performance and guarantees compatibility with all current and future 3-D applications and games.
• Quad Cache
  LMA II contains a caching system for primitives, vertices, textures and pixels. These caches are individually dedicated and optimized for almost instant graphics pipeline access and reuse.
• TV-Out and Video Modules
  Gives end users the option of big-screen gaming, digital timeshifting VCR, and video-editing applications.
• World's Fastest DDR Memory Interface
  The 10.6 GB per second memory subsystem ensures peak performance and the smoothest frame rates ever, allowing extremely high resolutions and full-scene antialiasing as the standard operating mode for most games.
• Z-Correct Bump Mapping
  The nfiniteFX II engine is capable of making intersecting bump-mapped polygons look realistic and accurate. This is especially important in scenes where water and land interact with each other.
