| GeForce 9800 GX2 Features & Benefits |
| |
NVIDIA® 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: DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.
|
Quadro NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology1: Industry leading Quadro NVIDIA SLI technology offers amazing performance scaling by implementing 4-way AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering), for the world’s fastest gaming solution under Windows Vista with solid, state-of-the-art drivers.
|
QNVIDIA HybridPower™ Technology2: HybridPower technology lets you switch from the GeForce 9800 GX2 graphics card to the motherboard GeForce GPU when running non graphicallyintensive applications for a silent, low power PC experience.
|
PCI Express 2.0 Support: Designed for the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture offering the highest data transfer speeds for the most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications, while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.
|
GigaThread™ Technology: Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
|
NVIDIA® Lumenex™ Engine: Delivers stunning image quality and floating point accuracy at ultra-fast frame rates.
|
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 antialiasing.
|
NVIDIA® Quantum Effects™ Technology: Advanced shader processors architected for physics computation enable a new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU—all while freeing the CPU to run the game engine and artificial intelligence (AI).
|
NVIDIA® GeForce® Unified Driver Architecture (UDA): Delivers a proven record of compatibility, reliability, and stability with the widest range of games and applications. GeForce drivers provide the best outof- box experience for every user and delivers continuous performance and feature updates over the life of NVIDIA GeForce® GPUs.
|
OpenGL® 2.1 Optimization and Support: Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications.
|
Dual 400MHz RAMDACs: Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048x1536@85Hz.
|
Dual Dual-link DVI Support: Able to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560x1600 and with support for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).
|
HDMI Output: An integrated HDMI™ connector allows you to send both high-definition video and audio signals to your HDTV via a single cable.
|
NVIDIA® PureVideo® Technology3: 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 Processor: NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies with 100% offload of H.264 video decoding from the CPU and significantly reduced power consumption.
|
Hardware Decode Acceleration: Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
|
Dual-stream Hardware Acceleration: Supports picture-in-picture content for the ultimate interactive Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience.
|
Dynamic Contrast Enhancement & Color Stretch: Provides post-processing and optimization of High Definition movies on a scene by scene basis for spectacular picture clarity.
|
Dual-link HDCP Capable4: 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.
|
Advanced Spatial-Temporal De- Interlacing: Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater systems
|
High-Quality Scaling: Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, 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): Recovers original film images from films-convertedto- video (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.
|
Bad Edit Correction: When videos are edited, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. PureVideo uses 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 Reduction: Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.
|
Edge Enhancement: Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
