Features
PCI Express2.0 support
The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT G92 design utilizes the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering a bridge to tomorrow's games and 3D applications by maximizing the 5 GT/s PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth (almost twice that of first generation PCI Express). PCI Express 2.0 products are fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support, although some motherboards require a bios flash.
NVIDIA® unified architecture
Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, dramatically increasing the performance of prior generation GPUs.
GigaThreadTM Technology
Multi-threaded architecture supports independent, simultaneous threads, providing increased processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
High-Speed GDDR3 Memory
Enhanced memory speed and capacity ensures fluid video quality in the latest gaming environments, especially in large-scale textures processing.
Dual Dual-Link DVI
Hardware support for 2560x1600 resolutions. This display functionality is suitable for 30-inch HD LCD displays that require dual-link DVI connectivity.
Dual 400MHz RAMDACs
RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with refresh rates up to 2048x1536@85Hz.
NVIDIA® SLITM Technology
Scalable Link Interface increases the performance of a single GPU configuration up to 1.5 times for accelerated gaming experiences by allowing two graphics cards to run in tandem. Over 60 PC games benefit from SLI.
NVIDIA® LumenexTM Engine
Delivers high image quality and floating-point accuracy at high frame rates.
· 16x Anti-aliasing: Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates smoothes jagged edges more effectively.
· 128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR): twice the precision of prior generations for realistic lighting effects
NVIDIA® Quantum EffectsTM Technology
Advanced shader processors specifically constructed for physics computation enable a new level of simulated real-world effects rendered on the GPU, freeing the CPU to run the game engine or AI.
Microsoft® DirectX® 10 Shader Model 4.0 Support
This new standard of video modeling streamlines a number of visual effect algorithms for additional cinematic realism.
Hardware Decode Acceleration:
Provides fluid playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV, and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
High dynamic-range (HDR) Rendering Support
Enhancements in lighting effects provides a more complete 3D feel to the cinematic experience.
NVIDIA ® PureVideo TM HD technology
The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video.
HDCP Capable
Allows playback of HD DVD, Blu-ray Disc, and other protected content at full HD resolutions with integrated High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) support. (Requires other compatible components that are also HDCP capable.)
Integrated HDTV encoder
Provide TV-out functionality up to 1080P resolution.
OpenGL® 2.0 Optimizations and Support
Full OpenGL support, including OpenGL 2.0
NVIDIA® nView® multi-display technology
