NV unified architecture 
Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs.

Full Microsoft^® DirectX^® 10 Support
World’s first Microsoft® DirectX® 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.

16x Anti-aliasing Technology 
Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges.

128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Lighting
Twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects—now with support for anti-aliasing.

OpenGL^® 2.1 Optimization and Support
Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications.

PCI Express Support 
Designed to run perfectly with the PCI Express bus architecture, which doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X to deliver over 4GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers.

Dual 400MHz RAMDACs 
Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048x1536@85Hz.

One Single-link DVI Support 
Able to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel display up to 1920x1200.

Built for Microsoft^® Windows Vista™
NV’s fourth-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D graphical user interface.

High definition video playback²
The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video.

Discrete, Programmable Video Processor²
A discrete programmable processing core in NV GPUs that provides superb picture quality
and ultra-smooth movies with low CPU utilization and power.

Hardware Decode Acceleration² 
Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.

HDCP Capable³ 
Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays.

Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing² 
Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivalshigh-end home-theater systems.

High-Quality Scaling² 
Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, up to 1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.

Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction)²
Recovers original film images from filmsconverted-to-video (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.

Bad Edit Correction² 
When videos are edited after they have been converted from 24 to 25 or 30 frames, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. Using advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video.

Noise Reduction² 
Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.

Edge Enhancement² 
Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.

1 - NV certified versions of GF PCI Express GPUs only.
2 - High definition video playback support is currently only available on Microsoft® Windows™ Vista.
3 - Requires other HDCP-compatible components
