8400GS: NVIDIA’s latest

GPU architecture built for Windows Vista.

z 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.

z GigaThread Technology: Massively multi-

threaded architecture supports thousands of
independent, simultaneous threads, providing
extreme processing efficiency in advanced,
next generation shader programs.

z Full Microsoft DirectX 10.1 Support:

DirectX 10.1 with full Shader Model 4.1
support delivers unparalleled levels of
graphics realism and film-quality effects.

z NVIDIA Lumenex Engine: Delivers stunning

image quality and floating point accuracy at
ultra-fast frame rates:

16x Anti-aliasing: Lightning fast, high-quality

anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates
obliterates jagged edges.

128-bit floating point High Dynamic­Range (HDR) Lighting: Twice the precision

of prior generations for incredibly realistic
