PCI Express® graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance
on today's hottest games.
NVIDIA®
Intellisample™ 4.0 technology
The industryˇ¦s fastest antialiasing delivers ultrarealistic
visuals, with no jagged edges, at lightningfast speeds. Visual
quality is taken to new heights through a new rotated grid sampling
pattern, advanced 128 Tap sample coverage, 16x anisotropic filtering,
and support for transparent supersampling and multisampling.
True
High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Rendering Support
The ultimate lighting effects bring environments to life for a
truly immersive, ultra-realistic experience. Based on the OpenEXR
technology from Industrial Light & Magic (http://www.openexr.com/), NVIDIA's 64-bit texture implementation
delivers state-of-the-art high dynamic-range (HDR) visual effects
through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing,
and blending.
HDCP
Ready

as they are developed to provide a future-proof video solution.
Hardware
Decode Acceleration
Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, WMV, and MPEG-2 HD and
SD videos with minimal CPU usage.
High-Quality
Scaling
High-quality scaling technology delivers a clear, clean image
at any window size, including full-screen HDTV resolutions up
to 1080p.
Video
color correction
Corrects differences in color characteristics of RGB monitors
and TV monitors through NVIDIA PureVideo's ProcAmp Color Controls
setting, such as brightness and contrast. Display gamma correction
ensures videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out
regardless of the video format or display.
Integrated
SD and HD TV Output
Connects to yours standard definition or high-definition TV via
Composite, S-Video. Component, or DVI connections..
NVIDIA®
UltraShadow™ II technology
