| Feature & Benefits |
| Feature |
Benefit |
| MicrosoftR DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 support |
Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for all DirectXR 9 applications, including Shader Model 3.0 titles. |
| PCI Express support |
Designed to run perfectly with the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers. |
| AGP 8X support |
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. (6600 GT only) |
| NVIDIAR SLI multi-GPU technology |
Dramatically scales performance by allowing two graphics cards to be run in parallel. (NVIDIA SLI certified versions of GeForce 6600 GT PCI Express only.) |
| 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. |
| NVIDIAR CineFX. 3.0 engine |
Powers the next generation of cinematic realism. Full support for MicrosoftR DirectXR 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 enables stunning and complex special effects. Next-generation shader architecture
delivers faster and smoother gameplay. |
| NVIDIAR 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. |
| NVIDIAR 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 delivers a clear, clean image at any window size, including full-screen HDTV resolutions. |
| Integrated HDTV encoder |
Provides world-class HDTV-out functionality up to and including 1920x1080i resolutions. |
| 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.) |
| NVIDIAR 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. |
| NVIDIAR 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. |
| Dual 400MHz RAMDACs |
Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates up to and including 2048x1536@85Hz. |
| Dual single-link DVI support |
Able to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to and including 1900x1200. |
