Card Features & Specications

Unied Shader Architecture



Get the best geometry, vertex and pixel shading performance at all times with a

revolutionary, unied 3D shader architecture.

Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4 Support



Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for all DirectX10 applications, includ­ing Shader Model 4 titles.

Geometry Instancing 2.0



Many games repeat 3D geometry (for example, trees or grass) hundreds to thousands of
times. This GPU architecture allows a single model of the geometry to be uniquely ani­mated an innite number of ways, each being a unique “instance” of the original model.
This translates into a massive performance benet when playing games with complex
scenes.

Displacement Mapping



This GPU GPUs employ advanced techniques to simulate highly detailed visuals using
lowpolygon models, enabling a new level of realism in 3D games and applications. This

allows many games and professional applications to use coarse, low-polygon models that

look highly detailed with very little computational cost.

LumenexTM Visual Quality Technology

The industry’s fastest anti-aliasing, NVIDIA Lumenex Visual Quality technology, deliv­ers ultra-realistic visuals, with no jagged edges, at lightning-fast speeds, Visual quality is
taken to new heights through a new rotated-grid sampling pattern.

Users are ensured of the best performance and application compatibility for all OpenGL
applications.

This GPU of products are capable of running at 5 Gbps PCI Express 2.0 speeds.

Able to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution at panel displays.

Support for memories up to a frame buffer size of 1 gigabyte.

Glitch-free, no visual artifacts, dynamic memory termination and voltage scaling.

Get the optimal trade-off between performance and power with NVIDIA’s exible PCI
Express link widths support (x16, x8, x4, x2, and x1), low-swing voltage signaling, and
NVIDIA’s ASLM support. NVIDIA’s ASLM (Active State Link Management) technol­ogy uses an efcient and dynamic scheme to switch between x1 and x16 PCI Express
link widths, lowering power consumption for applications that do not require the full x16
PCI Express bandwidth.

NVIDIA’s Video Processor provides an improved performance per watt and is designed
to address the full needs of the HD-DVD and Blu-ray High Denition video standards.

The combination of the new high-denition video processor and NVIDIA video decode
software delivers unprecedented HD video (including the latest HD-DVD/Blu-ray for­mats), stunning picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling to
turn your PC into a high-end home theater.

Play back SD/HD video in H.264/VC1/WMV/MPEG2 formats without skipping frames
or losing video details at full 1080i/1080p resolution.
