NVIDIA's 200 series of graphics cards combines cutting edge technology and advanced capabilities for best-in-class performance. The GTX280 boasts a 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture solution for all your most demanding graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and equipped with a PCI-Express 2.0 interface. The GTX280 supports 3-way SLI to seriously crank your performance options by using up to three graphics cards for insane flow rates.
The card's core clock runs at 650MHz, relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the GTX280's 240 stream processors fed by 1GB of 512-bit 2326MHz GDDR3 memory. Twin dual-linked DVI and 400 MHz RAMDAC lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors. Support for DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1, NVIDIA's PureVideoHD, CUDA and PhysX-ready are built in to render even the most intense environmental effects or HD DVD video with brilliant clarity.
The GTX280 delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with solid performance. If your motherboard can take it, the GTX280 can dish it out.
