MSI NX8800GT Zilent 512Mb DDR3

Geforce 8800GT Chipset Features

• NVIDIA unified architecture
  Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operation, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs.
  
• Full Microsoft DirectX 10 Support
  World's first DirectX10 GPU with full Shader model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.
  
• NVIDIA SLI Technology
  Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by allowing two cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI Express graphics, SLI technology dramatically scales performance on today's hottest games.
  
• 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.
  
• NVIDIA nView Multi-Display Technology
  Advanced technology provides the ultimate in viewing flexibility and control for multiple monitors.
  
• Dual-Link DVI Support
  Able to drive the industry's largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560*1600.
  
• 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.
  
• Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown Correction)
  Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.
  
• Noise Reduction
  Improves movie image quality by removing unwated artifacts.
  
• Edge Enhancement
  Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.
  
• Bad Edit Correction
  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. 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.
  
• 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.
  
• 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 AI.
  
• NVIDIA ForceWare unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
  Delivers a proven record of compatibility, reliability, and stability with the widest range of games and applications. ForceWare provides the best out-of-box experience and delivers continuous performance and feature updates over the life of NVIDIA GeForce GPUs.
  
• OpenGL 2.0 Optimizations 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 rate-up to 2048x1536@85Hz.
  
• Build for Microsoft Windows Vista
  NVIDIA's fourth-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D graphical user interface.
  
• VIDIA PureVideo HD Technology
  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 low CPU utilization and power.
  
• Hardware Decode Acceleration
  Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
  
• HDCP Capable
  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 purchase purcconnected to HDCP-compliant displays.
  
• High-Quality Scaling
  Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos th HDTV resolutions, up to 1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.
  
• PCI Express 2.0 Support
  Designed to run perfectly with the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture, offering a futureproofing
  bridge to tomorrow's most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications by maximizing the 5GT/s PCI Express 2.0 bandwidth (twice that of first generation PCI Express). PCI Express 2.0 products are fully backwards compatible with existing PCI Express motherboards for broadest support.
