Better Than Reality.

Gaming “reality” was once defined as having a graphics card that could deliver true-to-life images….until
complex images or more than one character entered the scene. Now, with XFX’s new GeForce® GTX 200

and your palms sweat. Harnessing the power of second generation unified architecture, SLI technology
and top-of-the-line DirectX 10 support, an in-your-face experience, delivered in blazing fast frame rates,
is yours. Real life has never been this realistic.
