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.
Full Microsoft DirectX 10 Support
DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.
NVIDIA SLI™ Technology1
Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card
configuration for unequaled 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 today's
hottest games.
PCI Express 2.0 Support
Designed
to run perfectly with the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture,
offering a future-proofing bridge to tomorrow's most bandwidth-hungry
games and 3D applications by maximizing the 5GT/s PCI Express 2.0
bandwidth (twice that of first generation PCI Express). PCI Express 2.0
products are fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express
motherboards for the broadest support.
GigaThread™ Technology
Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of
independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing
efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
NVIDIA Lumenex™ Engine
Delivers stunning image quality and floating point accuracy with ultra-fast frame rates.
• 16x Anti-aliasing Technology: Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges.
• 128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Lighting: Twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects—now with support for anti-aliasing.
NVIDIA Quantum Effects™ Technology
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 artificial intelligence
(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 for every user 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.
Dual 400MHz RAMDACs
Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048x1536@85Hz.
Dual Dual-link DVI Support
Able
to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel
displays up to 2560x1600 and with support for High-bandwidth Digital
Content Protection (HDCP).
NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology²
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.
• Discrete, Programmable Video Processor:
NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA
GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies with
100% offload of H.264 video decoding from the CPU and significantly
reduced power consumption.
• Hardware Decode Acceleration: Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
• HDCP Capable³
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.
• Dynamic Contrast Enhancement: Provides spectacular picture clarity with frame-by-frame optimization
• Advanced Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing:
Sharpens HD and standard definition 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, while
maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos,
including high-definition, while preserving image detail.
• Inverse Telecine (3:2 and 2:2 Pulldown Correction): Recovers
original film images from films-converted-to-video (DVDs, 1080i HD
content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture
quality.
• NVIDIA nView® Multi-Display Technology
Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexibility and control for multiple monitors.
• Bad Edit Correction:
When videos are edited, 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.
• Noise Reduction
Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.
• Edge Enhancement
Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
• Dual Stream Decode acceleration
Hardware acceleration for HD picture-in-picture enables a complete HD movie playback experience.
• Integrated SD and HD TV Output
World-class TV-out
functionality via Composite, S-Video, Component or DVI connections.
Supports resolutions up to 1080i/1080p, depending on connection type
and TV capability 1 - NVIDIA SLI certified versions of GeForce PCI Express GPUs only.
