It’s amazing how much performance persistent engineers can tweak out of video cards these days. While the GeForce 8800GTX cards are eating up the competition, its junior partner ain’t doing so bad, either. EVGA brings us a lively 8800 GT KO model that may demonstrate memory and stream processor figures lower than its big brothers, the 880GTX and Ultra, but performs at frame rates and speeds that belie its lower price.
Boasting NVIDIA SLI technology and certified for Windows Vista, EVGA has provided next-generation Superscalar GPU design, has used NVIDIA’s own unified architecture and GigaThread technology. You get DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0 support which enables you to play the most advanced games on the market. Dedicated processing cores and software deliver a vivid picture free of annoying artifacts you get from standard PC-based video solutions.
The built in TV encoder supports HDTV, S-Video and Component video out. HDCP lets you see programming in full HD mode. NVIDIA’s PureVideo brings the technology from high-end video equipment to your computer. EVGA’s 8800GT KO, whether single or doubled, will give more power than you can believe for the price!
- NVIDIA Unified Architecture with GigaThread 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 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.
- 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 latest operating system.
