high-quality video features. They provide on-chip acceleration for
many functions previously relegated to the CPU or a second
chip. A 3DForce 6800 series GPU essentially serves as two
chips in one: a GPU and a video processor.
Video processing on the GPU deals with two major uses of
video: playback (decoding), and recording analog video and
converting it into a defined digital format (encoding). The most
common format for encoding or decoding is MPEG-2. Other
popular formats, such as Windows Media Video9 (WMV9), are
also supported in the 3DForce 6800 series GPUs.
Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
The Nvidia UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility
with software drivers. This simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA
product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver
software.
nView Multi-Display Technology
The nView hardware and software technology combination
delivers maximum flexibility for multi-display options and
provides unprecedented end-user control of the desktop
experience.
Digital Vibrance 3.0
This feature allows the user to adjust color controls digitally to
compensate for the lighting conditions of their workspace, in
order to achieve accurate and bright colors in all conditions.
High-Speed GDDR3 Memory Interface
Support for the world’s fastest GDDR3 memory delivers fluid
frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.
256-Bit Memory Interface with Advanced Memory Control
Delivers more memory bandwidth and efficiency to power the
latest games and applications at blazing speeds.
128-Bit Studio-Precision Computation
128-bit studio-precision computation through the entire pipeline
prevents image defects due to low precision and ensures the
best image quality for even the most demanding applications
