By allowing the graphics processing unit (GPU) to share the capacity and bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system memory, TurboCache turbocharges performance and provides larger total graphics memory.
Key features of the TurboCache architecture
Patented hardware and software technologies that render directly to system memory.
A TurboCache Manager (TCM), which dynamically allocates memory for maximum system performance.
Intelligent software algorithms that maximize application performance.
Bidirectional PCI Express® bandwidth, in conjunction with TurboCache architecture, which improves graphics price/performance.

NVIDIA GeForce Graphics
Graphics processing has become an essential ingredient to the modern PC. Nowadays, we simply demand more from our PCs. If you want to enhance photos, edit videos, watch movies, play games, or if you simply desire a Premium Windows® 7 Experience, NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics brings impressive graphics processing power to your PC at an incredible value.
Spectacular Video
Get all the video processing power that your digital lifestyle requires. Enhance photos, clean up home videos and post them to Facebook up to 50% faster² with the GeForce 210 or GeForce GT520 GPUs. Convert your video and put it on your iPod in minutes instead of hours³ or make your DVDs look like HD. Does your PC have a CPU powerful enough to playback high definition Blu-Ray Movies? It doesn’t matter, the GeForce 210 and GT520 can playback any Blu Ray Movie with any modern CPU4.
Gorgeous Graphics
Modern games and 3D applications demand more graphics performance than ever before and Intel integrated graphics simply aren’t good enough. The GeForce 210 delivers over 10x the performance¹ of Intel integrated solutions! If you want to play popular mainstream games like World of Warcraft, Spore or Sims3, the GeForce 210 is an essential addition to your PC. For games that require more performance or DirectX 11 then the GT520 is the ideal graphics processor to get you and your system to the next level.
Premium Windows 7 Experience
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are an essential element of today’s PCs, enabling more visual and more interactive experiences. As a leader in visual computing and the inventor of the GeForce GPU, NVIDIA worked closely with Microsoft on the development of Windows 7 to ensure that its GPUs take full advantage of the great new features and functionality. If you use your PC to enhance photos, watch or edit videos, play games, or if you simply desire a fast and efficient graphical interface, NVIDIA GPUs will surely delight your senses and offer a premium Windows 7 experience.1 Compared to Intel G45.

Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.
HDCP support
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of copy protection technology designed to prevent transmission of non-encrypted high-definition content as it travels across DVI or HDMI digital connections.
HDMI ready
High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) is an interface standard for consumer electronics devices that combines HDCP-protected digital video and audio into a single, consumer-friendly connector.
PureVideo HD
Available on HD DVDs and Blu-ray discs, high-definition movies are bringing an exciting video experience to PC users. NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology lets you enjoy cinematic-quality HD DVD and Blu-ray movies with low CPU utilization and power consumption, allowing higher quality movie playback and picture clarity. PureVideo HD technology provides a combination of powerful hardware acceleration, content security, and integration with movie players, plus all the features found in PureVideo.
CUDA technology
NVIDIA CUDA technology unlocks the power of the hundreds of cores in your NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor (GPU) to accelerate some of the most performance hungry computing applications. The CUDA technology has already adopted by thousands of programmers to speed up those performance hungry computing applications.
