(Feature requires supported video software)

AGP 8X
Provides double the bandwidth of AGP 4X—2.1GB/sec. vs. 1.1GB/sec. AGP 8X enables more complex models and detailed textures, creating richer and more lifelike environments. Uninterrupted data flow allows for smoother video streaming and faster, more seamless gameplay

High-speed GDDR3 memory interface

Support for high-speed GDDR3 memory delivers fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.

64-bit floating point texture filtering and blending

Based on the OpenEXR technology from Industrial Light & Magic (http://www.openexr.com/), NVIDIA’s 64-bit texture implementation sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in filtering, texturing, and high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting.

Revolutionary superscalar architecture

Delivers up to 8x the shading power of previous generation products for screaming gaming performance.

NVIDIA® CineFX™ 3.0 engine

Powers the next generation of cinematic realism.  Full support for Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 enables stunning and complex special effects.  Next-generation shader architecture delivers faster and smoother gameplay.

NVIDIA® UltraShadow™ II technology

Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, like id Software’s Doom III, that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects.  Second-generation technology delivers more than 4x the shadow processing power over the previous generation.

Full-speed 32-bit color precision

Delivers increased image quality with no performance compromise.

NVIDIA® Intellisample™ 3.0 technology

The industry’s fastest antialiasing 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.

NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology

Turns your PC into a high-end home theater in stunning high definition with crystal-clear pictures, and the ability to enhance videos to full resolution in high detail, (Feature requires supported video software)

Adaptable programmable video processor

PureVideo’s programmable technology adapts to new video encoding formats as they are developed to provide a future-proof video solution.  (Feature requires supported video software.)

High-definition MPEG-2 and WMV hardware acceleration

Smoothly playback all MPEG-2 and WMV video with minimal CPU usage so the PC is free to do other work. (Feature requires supported video software.)

Advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing

Smoothes video and DVD playback on progressive displays to deliver a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home theater systems.  (Feature requires supported video software.)

Video scaling and filtering

High-quality scaling and filtering technology improves video playback quality at any window size, including full-screen HDTV resolutions.

Integrated HDTV encoder

Provides world-class HDTV-out functionality up to and including 1920x1080i resolutions.

Video color correction

Color temperature correction makes actors’ faces appear natural, rather than washed out and pale, when playing videos on LCD and CRT displays.  Display gamma correction ensures videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out regardless of the video format or display.  (Feature requires supported video software.)

NVIDIA® ForceWare™ Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)

Delivers rock-solid forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product or driver because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.  Includes full support for PCI Express and AGP.

NVIDIA® nView™ multi-display technology

Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexibility and control for multiple monitors.

NVIDIA® Digital Vibrance Control™ 3.0 technology

Allows the user to adjust color controls digitally to compensate for the lighting conditions of their workspace, in order to achieve accurate, bright colors in all conditions.

OpenGL® 1.5 optimizations and support

Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for all OpenGL applications.
