From the Manufacturer
Redefine your gaming reality with NVIDIA SLI-Ready GeForce 8800 graphics processing units (GPUs). The world's first DX10 GPUs feature a powerful unified architecture that delivers an incredibly true-to-life gaming experience. Power through games at record speeds. Charge through game maps with vividly realistic, sun-up to sun-down HDR lighting effects while steering clear of mind-blowing physics effects such as explosions, fire, and smoke. Crank up 16x full-screen anti-aliasing without missing a beat no jaggies, no worries. And when you're not dominating your competition, relax to your favorite movies with NVIDIA PureVideo technology.
New features introduced on the NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series include a fully unified shader core, which dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations. The cards' unified stream processors efficiently process geometry shader programs, while reducing dependence on the CPU. Moreover, Shader Model 4.0 support enables more complex operations on the GPU, reducing the load and CPU cycles that can be applied to game A.I. (artificial intelligence) complexity. As with previous models, PNY's new XLR8 graphics cards support NVIDIA SLI technology for up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card.
NVIDIA's GigaThread technology supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs. Stream out allows programmers to add more detail without having to re-render the entire pipeline. Geometry Shaders permits geometry creation and tessellation, which smoothes curved surfaces and enables more lifelike character animation, including realistic facial expressions and hair.
The GeForce 8800 GTS by PNY Technologies features 640 MB of high-speed GDDR3 frame buffer memory and a 500 MHz core clock. Outputs include DVI + DVI + HDTV/S-Video.
