Key Features & Benefits

NVIDIA CineFX Engine Powers cinematic effects beyond imagination. With advanced vertex and pixel shader capabilities, brings more realistic shaders and lighting for characters; more lifelike character animation; and sophisticated effects and looks that can be applied to the entire scene in real-time. NVIDIA High-Precision Graphics By combining the incredible dynamic range of today's state-of-the-art 3D motion pictures with 128-bit studio-precision color, the GeForce FX brings you the industry's best image quality for the most demanding applications. NVIDIA Intellisample Technology Intellisample's intelligent gamma-adjusted antialiasing and advanced adaptive anisotropic filtering deliver silky-smooth, ultra-realistic visuals at lightning speeds. AGP 8X bus implementation Provides double the bandwidth of AGP 4X-1.1GB/sec. vs. 2.1GB/sec. AGP 8X enables more complex models and detailed textures. Dual 400MHz RAMDACs Industry's fastest RAMDACs support QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates. Architected for Cg Ensures that the newest, cutting-edge special effects in applications will run flawlessly. Speeds up content creation so game developers can get their new games out to PC users faster than ever before. Video Mixing Renderer (VMR) Harnesses the power of the 3D graphics engine to empower the user to view multiple video windows simultaneously with superior quality, and avoids the problems associated with video overlay. Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) 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. OpenGL 1.4 Optimizations and Support Ensures the best performance and application compatibility for all OpenGL applications. Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Optimizations and Support Ensures the best performance and application compatibility for all DirectX 9 applications. .13 m process technology Delivers higher performance through faster clock rates - more MHz     DX8 DX9 GeForce FX Implementation of DX9 Pixel Shader Version 1.4 Version 2.0 Version 2.0+ Instructions 32 64 Thousands Constants 8 32 Thousands Registers 6 12 32 Vertex Shader Version 1.1 Version 2.0 Version 2.0+ Instructions 128 256 256 Constants 96 256 256 Registers 12 12 16   System Reguirements Intel Pentium III, AMD Duron or Athlonª class processor or higher 128MB system RAM AGP compliant motherboard with an AGP 2.0 slot 10 MB of available hard disk space (50 MB for Full installation) CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive Windows 95 OSR2, 98 or higher, ME, 2000, XP, or Windows¨ NT4.0 (Service Pack 5 or 6) VGA or DVI-I compatible monitor
