NVIDIA GigaThread

 Technology

: Massively multi-threaded 

architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous 

threads.

 

>

kepler GpU Architecture: 

NVIDIA’s kepler GPU architecture 

has been designed from the ground up not just for maximum 

performance in the latest DirectX 11 games, but optimal 

performance per watt. The new SMX streaming multiprocessor 

is twice as efficient as the prior generation and the new geometry 

engine draws triangles twice as fast. The result is world class 

performance and the highest image quality in an elegant and 

power efficient graphics card.

NVIDIA

®

 3D Vision

 ready:

 GeForce GPU support for NVIDIA 3D 

Vision technology, bringing a fully immersive stereoscopic 3D 

experience to the PC. A combination of high-tech wireless  

glasses and advanced software, 3D Vision transforms hundreds 

of PC games into full stereoscopic 3D. In addition, you can watch 

3D movies and 3D digital photographs in eye popping, in crystal-

clear quality.

 

>

DirectCompute Support: 

Full support for DirectCompute, 

Microsoft’s GPU computing API.

 

>

OpenCL Support: 

Full support for OpenCL GPU computing API.

 

>

32x Anti-aliasing Technology: 

Lightning fast, high-quality anti-

aliasing at up to 32x sample rates obliterates jagged edges.

 

>

Two New Anti-aliasing Modes - FXAA and TXAA: 

Anti-aliasing 

smoothes out jagged edges but can be demanding on framerates. 

FXAA is a new antialiasing technology that produces beautiful 

smooth lines with minimal performance impact. And with kepler 

based GPUs, you’ll be able to enable FXAA in hundreds of game 

titles through the NVIDIA Control Panel. 

The second mode, TXAA, is an in-game option that combines 

MSAA, temporal filtering, and post processing for even higher 

visual fidelity.

 

>

NVIDIA Adaptive Vertical Sync: 

Nothing is more distracting 

than framerate stuttering and screen tearing. The first tends to 

occur when framerates are low, the second when framerates 

are high. Adaptive V-Sync is a smarter way to render frames. At 

high framerates, V-sync is enabled to eliminate tearing, at low 

frame rates, it’s disabled to minimize stuttering. It gets rid of 

distractions so you can get on with gaming.
