With a NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS GPU at its core, the PNY VCG88GTSXPB is more than just a high-end graphic card; it's the rocket which will take you to gaming hyper-space. Boasting 640 Megabytes of 384-bit GDDR3 onboard memory, it sports a revolutionary new NVIDIA unified architecture with GigaThread technology. This ensures hyper-realistic gaming and movies with ultra-smooth playback. This card races off the mark with a 500 MHz core clock speed, 1600 MHz memory clock speed, and 1200 MHz Shader clock speed, all of which come together to provide an almost surreal gaming experience.
This high-performance graphic card features full DirectX 10 support and Shader Model 4.0 for the ultimate in graphic realism. OpenGL 2.0 Optimizations and Support ensures compatibility with a wide variety of OpenGL applications. The NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology brings high-definition video decoding to yield unparalleled and accurate video and color, and the Lumenex Engine delivers stunning image quality at ultra-high frame rates.
The NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology processes simulated physics right on the GPU and frees up the core CPU unit for superior gaming performance. The VCG88GTSXPB is SLI ready, so you can pair two of these goliaths in one gaming system to achieve pure superiority!
- NVIDIA Unified Architecture with UltraThread TechnologyThe fully-unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics and pixel shading operations, delivering incredibly true-to-life 3D graphics. In addition, the massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
- Full Microsoft DirectX 10 SupportThe world's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects.
- NVIDIA Lumenex EngineThe NVIDIA Lumenex Engine supports 128-bit and 64-bit floating point HDR with up to 16x anti-aliasing, delivering vividly realistic lighting effects while obliterating "jaggies".
- NVIDIA SLI TechnologyDelivers up to 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unmatchable gaming experiences. The must-have feature for PCI Express graphics, NVIDIA SLI technology allows two graphics cards to run in parallel and dramatically scales performance on today's hottest games.
- NVIDIA PureVideo HD TechnologyThe combination of high-definition video decoding acceleration and post-processing delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color and precise image scaling for all video content, especially movies.
- Built for Microsoft Windows VistaBuilt for Windows Vista, NVIDIA's fourth-generation GPU architecture offers users the best possible experience using the Windows Aero 3D graphical user interface available in Microsoft's latest operating system.
