Product Info

Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 Support
Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for all DirectX 9.0 applications, including Shader Model 3.0 titles.

CineFX 3.0 Engine
Powers the next generation of cinematic realism. Full support for Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 enables stunning and complex special effects. Next-generation shader architecture delivers faster and smoother gameplay.

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 delivers state-of-the-art high dynamic-range (HDR) visual effects through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending.

UltraShadow II Technology
Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, featuring complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects. 2nd-generation technology delivers more than 4x the shadow processing power over the previous generation.

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
NVIDIA® PureVideo technology is the combination of a high-definition video processing core on the NVIDIA GPU and software that plays ultra-smooth movies with minimal CPU use and low power consumption. Features vary by product.

Programmable Video Processor
Adapt to new video formats as they are developed, providing a future-proof video solution.

Revolutionary Superscalar Architecture
Delivers up to 8x the shading power of previous generation products for screaming gaming performance.

PCI Express Certified
Designed to run perfectly with the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8x delivering over 4GB/s in both upstream and downstream data transfers.

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.

	WMV-HD Hardware Acceleration Playback videos in Microsoft’s Windows Media Video High Definition (WMV-HD) format without skipping frames or losing video detail. Accepted by the HD-DVD consortium as a new HD format, WMV-HD is now part of Windows XP to make it easy for users to edit and save their favorite videos.
	OpenGL® 2.0 Optimizations and Support Ensures the best performance and application compatibility for all OpenGL applications.
	256-Bit Memory Interface Delivers more memory bandwidth and efficiency to power the latest games and applications at blazing speeds.
	Dual 400MHz RAMDACs Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048x1536@85Hz. May vary by model.
	Dual DVI Support Able to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays including 1900x1200 resolution and the new Apple 30" cinema display. (Support for Apple 30” cinema display available on the GeForce 6800 Ultra 512MB only.)
	Full-Speed 32-Bit Color Precision Delivers increased image quality with no performance compromise.
	High-Speed GDDR3 Memory Interface Support for the world’s fastest GDDR3 memory delivers fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications. (Supported in the GeForce Go 6800, GeForce 6800 Ultra, 6800 GT, 6800, and 6600 GT only)
	Integrated TV Encoder Provides best-of-class TV-out functionality for resolutions up to 1024x768.
	Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing Sharpens interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture.
	High-Definition MPEG-2 Hardware Acceleration Smoothly playback all MPEG-2 video with minimal CPU usage so the PC is free to do other work. Battery-life is extended when watching DVDs while running on battery.
	Vibrant Color Temperature Correction Color temperature correction makes actors’ faces appear natural, rather than washed out and pale, when playing videos on LCD and CRT displays.
	High-Quality Real-Time Video Recording Get full digital video recording functionality without losing data. With NVIDIA PureVideo technology, high-quality recording preserves picture detail while also using minimal space to store videos on the hard drive.
