MODEL- NX7800GT-XVT2D256E VENDOR- MSI VIDEO FEATURES- GeForce G70 7800GTX PCI Express GeForce G70 7800GTX 256MB DDR Video Card Traditionally, PC gamers have had to choose between the fastest frame rates and the best image quality in order to maintain playable performance on advanced PC games. That was then. This is now... The NVIDIA GeForce 7800 graphics processing units (GPUs) represent a significant leap forward in 3D graphics design, delivering the unparalleled horsepower and revolutionary technologies you need to tear through the latest games. The GeForce 7800 GPUs deliver blazing frame rates and outstanding image quality--so you can experience full-throttle graphics performance. * PCI Express Support PCI Express is a Intel bus architecture that doubles the bandwidth of the AGP 8X bus, delivering over 4 GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfers. * NVIDIA SLI Technology Patented hardware and software technology allows two GPUs to run in parallel to scale performance. Scales performance on over 60 top PC games and applications. * Mind-Blowing Performance Built to deliver mind-blowing graphics performance, the GeForce 7800 GPUs feature a next-generation superscalar architecture and an all new NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 engine. The CineFX 4.0 engine includes a redesigned vertex shader unit that shortens the time required to set up complex geometry processing. In addition, a new pixel shader unit delivers up to 2x the floating point shading power of previous generation products, while an advanced texture unit incorporates new hardware algorithms to speed filtering and blending operations. All of these features combine to deliver advanced visual effects at unimaginable speeds. The GeForce 7800 GPUs are designed to reach even higher levels of performance through NVIDIA SLI technology. With NVIDIA SLI, you can combine two GeForce 7800 GPUs in a single system to scale performance by up to 2x. Through an intelligent combination of software and hardware, NVIDIA SLI is able to offer this unbelievable performance on over 60 of the top PC titles. If you have ever dreamed of running id Softwares DOOM 3 at 90 frames per second, NVIDIA SLI can make your dream a reality. The GeForce 7800 GPUs are backed by the NVIDIA ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)--the industrys most stable software platform. The ForceWare UDA delivers rock-solid reliability and compatibility with the widest range of games and applications so you can enjoy the ultimate "install-and-play" experience. * Realistic Gaming Experiences Powered by breakthrough visual effects technology, the GeForce 7800 GPUs blur the line between fictional game worlds and reality. Featuring the advanced NVIDIA Intellisample 4.0 technology, the GeForce 7800 GPUs deliver exceptional visual quality through new antialiasing modes and advanced anisotropic filtering. Some of the new modes and enhancements include: - Transparent supersampling and multisampling which minimize the undesirable visible aliasing that occurs in highly detailed textures. The improvement in 3D image quality can be most visible when viewing outdoor scenes and objects such as vegetation and chain link fences in games. - Increased subsample coverage and a new texture core which accelerate 64-bit floating point texture filtering and blending to deliver full- speed, state-of-the art high dynamic-range (HDR) lighting effects. This technique, used in professional film rendering by companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, delivers complex, ultra-realistic lighting effects to hot new games. - Gamma-adjusted rotated-grid antialiasing which removes jagged edges from 3D images while maintaining the highest level of color reproduction on your monitor. In addition, the GeForce 7800 GPUs are built on NVIDIAs proven Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 architecture, so you can play all the latest DirectX 9.0-based games while experiencing the most realistic Shader Model 3.0 effects possible. * Home-Theater Quality Video Watching TV, DVDs, and high-definition video on the PC is quickly becoming commonplace amongst PC users. In addition to providing the performance and advanced features for an amazing gaming experience, the GeForce 7800 GPUs also deliver a home-theater quality video experience to the PC with NVIDIA PureVideo technology. The combination of a hardware video processor and video decode software, NVIDIA PureVideo technology delivers stunning video to any display. NVIDIA PureVideo supercharges your PC experience with high-definition video and crystal-clear picture quality. Featuring enhanced HDTV processing and the industrys most advanced video algorithms, PureVideo delivers 50% efficiency improvement and support for the latest high- definition video standard--WMV9 1080p. Integrated HDTV-output allows you to connect your PC to a high definition TV for direct-to-TV playback, turning your PC into a high-end home theater system. * Equip Yourself with Full-Throttle Graphics Performance Raising the bar for performance, visual effects, image quality, and video functionality, the GeForce 7800 GPUs power an extreme PC experience. No longer do you have to choose between blazing frame rates and the highest image quality. By equipping your rig with a GeForce 7800 GPU, you can experience the power of full-throttle graphics performance. -- SPECIFICATIONs ---------------------------------- INTERFACE/BUS- PCI Express x16 CHIPSET - 256-bit nVIDIA GeForce 7800 GPU MEMORY - 256MB 256-bit DDR3 Memory CONNECTORs - (2) DVO (Digital Video Out) ports NVIDIA CineFX.0 SHADING ARCHITECTURE- Vertex Shaders - Support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Vertex Shader 3.0 - Displacement mapping - Geometry instancing - Infinite length vertex programs Pixel Shaders - Support for DirectX 9.0 Pixel Shader 3.0 - Full pixel branching support - Support for Multiple Render Targets (MRTs) - Infinite length pixel programs Next-Generation Texture Engine - Accelerated texture access - Up to 16 textures per rendering pass - Support for 16-bit floating point format and 32-bit floating point format. - Support for non-power of two textures - Support for sRGB texture format for gamma textures - DirectX and S3TC texture compression Full 128-bit studio-quality floating point precision through the entire rendering pipeline with native hardware support for 32bpp, 64bpp, and 128bpp rendering modes. 64-Bit TEXTURE FILTERING & BLENDING- Full floating point support throughout entire pipeline.
