Prepare to be visually blown away…
NVIDIA® unified architecture fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs. GigaThread™ Technology is a 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 is 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 delivers stunning image quality and floating point accuracy at ultra-fast frame rates, while 16x Anti-aliasing provides lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges. 128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) offers twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects—now with support for anti-aliasing. NVIDIA® Quantum Effects™ Technology offers advanced shader processors architected for physics computation enable a new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU—all while freeing the CPU to run the game engine and AI. NVIDIA® ForceWare® 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 and delivers continuous performance and feature updates over the life of NVIDIA GeForce® GPUs.

OpenGL® 2.1 Optimizations and Support ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications. NVIDIA® nView® Multi-Display Technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexibility and control for multiple monitors. Dual 400MHz RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048x1536@85Hz. Dual-link DVI Support is able to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600. NVIDIA’s fourth-generation GPU architecture built Built for Microsoft® Windows Vista™ gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D graphical user interface. NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD Technology1 offers 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. NVIDIA PureVideo is a Discrete, Programmable Video Processor 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 Capable2 is 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 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. Video Color Correction NVIDIA’s Color Correction Controls, such as Brightness, Contrast and Gamma Correction let you compensate for the different color characteristics of various RGB monitors and TVs ensuring movies are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out regardless of the video format or display type. Noise Reduction improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts. Edge Enhancement sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
