      to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges. 
    - 128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR): Twice the precision 
      of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects--now 
      with support for anti-aliasing.
* 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)

   displays up to 1920x1200.
* 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.
* 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.
    - 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 low CPU 
      utilization and power.
    - Hardware Decode Acceleration: Provides ultra-smooth playback of 
      H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.
    - 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.
    - Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing: Sharpens 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, up to 1080i, 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-converted-to-video, providing more accurate 
      movie playback and superior picture quality.
    - Bad Edit Correction: When videos are edited after they have been 
      converted from 24 to 25 or 30 frames, 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.
    - Video Color Correction: NVIDIA's Color Correction Controls, such as 
      Brightness, Contrast and Gamma Correction let you compensate for the 
      different color characteristics of various RGB monitors and TVs 
      ensuring movies are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out 
      regardless of the video format or display type.
    - Integrated SD and HD TV Output: Provides world-class TV-out 
      functionality via Composite, S-Video, Component, or DVI connections. 
      Supports resolutions up to 1080p depending on connection type and TV 
      capability.
    - Noise Reduction: Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted 
      artifacts.
    - Edge Enhancement: Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast 
      around lines and objects.
