| GeForce 9600GT 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.
|
NVIDIA® SLI™ Technology1: Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single GPU
configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by
allowing two graphics cards to run in parallel. The
must-have feature for performance PCI Express®
graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on
today’s hottest games.
|
PCI Express 2.0 Support: Designed to run perfectly with the new PCI Express
2.0 bus architecture, offering a future-proofing bridge
to tomorrow’s most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D
applications by maximizing the 5 GT/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 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 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 for every user and delivers continuous
performance and feature updates over the life of
NVIDIA GeForce® GPUs.
|
Hardware Decode Acceleration: Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1,
WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
|
HDCP Capable3 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.
|
Dynamic Contrast Enhancement: Provides spectacular picture clarity with frame by
frame optimiztion.
|
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.
|
Dual Stream Decode
Acceleration: Hardware acceleration for HD picture-in-picture
enables a complete HD movie playback experience.
|
Edge Enhancement: Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast
around lines and objects.
|
Integrated SD and HD TV Output: World-class TV-out functionality via Composite, SVideo,
Component or DVI connections. Supports
resolutions up to 1080i/1080p, depending on
connection type and TV capability.
