XFX asks "how low can you go?" No, it isn't limbo, it's their low profile GeForce 8400 GS base card. Designed to fit into slim cases, it comes with a dual-DVI adapter so you can still run two monitors. The 256MB of GDDR2 memory supports today's advanced graphics. Just because it's small doesn't mean it's powerless. It is fully Vista and DX10 compatible.
All that power drives the Lumenex engine for lightning fast anti-aliasing and HDR Lighting for stunning realism. The Quantum Effects Technology utilizes advanced shader processors to deliver an entirely new level of physics effects that are rendered on the GPU leaving the CPU free to run the game engine and the AI.
The built in PureVideo HD Technology was specifically designed to enhance your HD experience. Built in hardware decode acceleration of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies provides a theater-like experience. The HDCP compliant dual-link DVI ports allow you to play your HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs.
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 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 latest operating system.
Pros: Good for the 3d gaming, and slim pc user.
Cons: Expensive. I found in Korea,they sale Gforce 8600gt low profile video card (w/256mb, 128bit)for only $55.00
Overall Review: I have hp s3200n slim pc. So, i bought this video card. my power has just 160w. however, this video card runs good, still no problem. if you have slim pc, and want to play 3d game. buy this one. (i played call of duty 4, world in conflict.)
