  Detailed Features NVIDIA PhysX™ Technology NVIDIA CUDA™ Technology Advanced Graphics Tuning 3-Way SLI EVGA GeForce GTX 260 Superclocked GPU Features 3-Way NVIDIA SLI® Technology Industry leading 3-way NVIDIA SLI technology offers amazing performance scaling by implementing AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering), under Windows Vista with solid, state-of-the-art drivers. NVIDIA PhysX™ Technology Delivering physics in games is no easy task. It’s an extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous amounts of simultaneous mathematical and logical calculations. NVIDIA CUDA™ Technology NVIDIA CUDA™ Technology is the world’s only C language environment that provides access to processing power of NVIDIA GPUs. It enables developers to utilize NVIDIA GPUs to solve the most complex computation-intensive challenges such as oil and gas exploration, financial risk management, product design, medical imaging, and scientific research. NVIDIA® Unified Architecture (Second Generation) 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 click here for demo » World’s first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects. NVIDIA® 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. Feature requires supported video software. Features may vary by product. 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 100% offload of H.264 video decoding from the CPU and significantly reduced power consumption. Hardware Decode Acceleration Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies. Dual Stream Hardware acceleration Supports picture-in picture content for the ultimate interactive Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience. Dynamic Contrast Enhancement Provides post-processing and optimization of High Definition movies on a scene by scene basis for spectacular picture clarity. 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 to HDCP-compliant displays. Advanced 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. 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 and 2:2 Pulldown Correction) Recovers original film images from filmsconverted-to-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. 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, S-Video, Component or DVI connections. Supports resolutions up to 1080i/1080p, depending on connection type and TV capability. OpenGL® 2.1 Optimizations and Support Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications. Dual Dual-link DVI Support Able to drive the industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560×1600 and with support for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP). Dual 400MHz RAMDACs Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048×1536@85Hz.
