Overview

Experience the hottest games at mind blowing frame rates, or go beyond traditional 3D graphics with Graphics Plus™ and experience GPU-accelerated NVIDIA® PhysX™ gaming effects, Stereoscopic 3D, and lightning fast video and image processing.

Features

NVIDIA Unified Graphics Architecture
Fully unified graphics core dynamically allocates work to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering superior graphics processing power.

NVIDIA® CUDA™ Parallel Computing Architecture 2
Massively parallel computing architecture provides unprecedented levels of general processing power increasing performance up to 20x over CPUs.

DirectCompute Support
Full support for DirectCompute, Microsoft’s GPU computing API.

OpenCL Support
Full support for OpenCL GPU computing API.

Microsoft Windows 7 Support
Windows 7 is the next generation operating system that will mark a dramatic improvement in the way the OS takes advantage of the graphics processing unit (GPU) to provide a more compelling user experience. By taking advantage of the GPU for both graphics and computing, Windows 7 will not only make today’s PCs more visual and more interactive but also ensure that they have the speed and responsiveness customers want.

NVIDIA® PhysX® Technology 1
GeForce GPU support for NVIDIA PhysX technology, enabling a totally new class of physical gaming interaction for a more dynamic and realistic experience with GeForce.

PCI Express 2.0 Support
Designed for the new PCI Express 2.0 bus architecture offering the highest data transfer speeds for the most bandwidth-hungry games and 3D applications, while maintaining backwards compatibility with existing PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.

GigaThread™ Technology
Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.

NVIDIA® Lumenex™ Engine
Delivers stunning image quality and floating point accuracy at ultra-fast frame rates.

16x Anti-aliasing Technology
Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates obliterates jagged edges.

128-bit floating point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Lighting
Twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic lighting effects— with support for anti-aliasing.

NVIDIA® GeForce® Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
Delivers a proven record of compatibility, reliability, and stability with the widest range of games and applications. GeForce drivers provide the best out-of-box experience for every user and deliver continuous performance and feature updates over the life of GeForce GPUs.

NVIDIA® PureVideo® HD Technology 3
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.

Hardware Decode Acceleration
Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV, DivX, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 HD and SD movies without the need for a dual or quad-core CPU.

Dual-stream Hardware Acceleration
Supports picture-in-picture content for the ultimate interactive Blu-ray and HD DVD movie experience.

Dynamic Contrast Enhancement & Color Stretch
Provides post-processing and optimization of High Definition movies on a scene by scene basis for spectacular picture clarity.

Enhanced Error Resilience
Correct errors or losses in broadcast content to ensure crisp, high quality playback.

Advanced Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing
Sharpens HD and standard definition 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, 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 (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.

Bad Edit Correction
When videos are edited, 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.

Noise Reduction
Improves movie image quality by removing unwanted artifacts.

Edge Enhancement
Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.

Microsoft® DirectX® 10.1 Support
DirectX 10.1 GPU with Shader Model 4.1 support.

OpenGL® 3.0 Optimization and Support
Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications.

Dual 400MHz RAMDACs
Blazing-fast RAMDACs support dual QXGA displays with ultra-high, ergonomic refresh rates–up to 2048×1536@85Hz.

Dual-link DVI Support
Able to drive industry’s largest and highest resolution flat-panel displays up to 2560×1600 and with support for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP).

HDMI Support
Fully integrated support for HDMI including xvYCC, Deep color and 7.1 digital surround sound.

Dual-link HDCP Capable
Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc format, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays.

1 – NVIDIA PhysX drivers are required to experience in-game GPU PhysX acceleration. Refer to www.nvidia.com/PhysX for more information.
2 – Requires application support for CUDA technology.
3 – Feature requires supported video software. Features may vary by product.

NVIDIA Doubles Down In Vegas With Two New High-End GPUs

What: NVIDIA today launched two new graphics solutions for the enthusiast gamer, the GeForce GTX 295 and the GeForce GTX 285.

The GeForce GTX 295 is the world’s fastest dual GPU solution. Featuring the power of two NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 200 GPUs on a single card, the GeForce GTX 295 delivers unrivaled graphics performance in the hottest games including Far Cry 2, Mirror’s Edge, and Call of Duty 5: World at War.

The GeForce GTX 285 is the world’s most powerful single GPU, delivering 30% faster performance than competing single GPU solutions, and tearing through complex DirectX 10 environments at blazing frame rates in extreme HD resolutions.

Designed with NVIDIA CUDA technology, both the GTX 295 and GTX 285 not only provide a world-class gaming experience, but they also deliver Graphics Plus™ capabilities not found on competing solutions. Only with NVIDIA GPUs can you experience jaw-dropping NVIDIA® PhysX™ gaming effects, stereoscopic 3D, and lightning fast video and image processing all accelerated by the GeForce GPU.

Whether it’s experiencing a new world of realistic physical motion and massively destructible environments, strapping on your GeForce 3D Vision™ glasses to game in true stereoscopic 3D, transcoding HD videos in minutes to your portable video player, or rapidly editing digital images using Adobe® CS4, the GeForce GTX 295 and GTX 285 do it all with mind blowing performance.

When: The GeForce GTX 295 is available now from leading add-in-card manufacturers with a MSRP of $499. GeForce GTX 285 will be available on January 15th with a MSRP of $399 USD.

Where: The announcement is taking place at CES 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada. If you are at CES, please visit the NVIDIA booth #35352 in the South Hall at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
