Experience Dynamic 3D Realism: Prior GPUs have delivered real-time images that appear true-to-life, but this illusion quickly fades when animation and physical effects are introduced or complex scenery and multiple characters enter the scene, bringing frame rates screeching to a halt. With the power of the GeForce GTX 200 GPUs’ second generation unified architecture and NVIDIA’s new GPU PhysX™ technology, experience convincing facial animation, multiple ultra-high polygon characters in complex environments, and fully simulated physical effects such as weather and explosions that deliver a truly immersive and dynamic 3D gaming experience. With GeForce GTX 200 GPUs, you can bring your 3D games to life.
