Microsoft DirectX 10 Shaders

EVGA GeForce GTX 285 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.
• Built 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, included in the new operating system (OS) from Microsoft.
• 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 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 the broadest support.
