Description

• 40nm technology

  Faster clocks, double the transistor density of earlier 40 nm technology. 40nm technology helped make GT 430 series products the most advanced GPUs ever highest clocks speeds, incredible feature integration, full performance and precision all the time, and ability to take advantage of future, higher-speed memories.

• Shader Model 5.0

  Shader Model 5.0 adds support for indexed temporaries which can be quite useful for certain tasks. Regular direct temporary access is preferable is most cases. One reason is that indexed temporaries are hard to optimize. The shader optimizer may not be able to identify optimizations across indexed accesses that could otherwise have been detected. Furthermore, indexed temporaries tend to increase register pressure a lot.

• PCI Express 2.0

  Now you are ready for the most demanding graphics applications thanks to PCI Express 2.0 support, which allows up to twice the throughput of current PCI Express cards.

• 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 a interface standard for consumer electronics devices that combines HDCP-protected digital video and audio into a single, consumer-friendly connector.

• NVIDIA PureVideo HD technology

  Available on HD DVDs and Blu-ray Discs, high-definition movies are bringing an exciting new 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.

• NVIDIA CUDA technology

  NVIDIA CUDA is a general purpose parallel computing architecture that leverages the parallel compute engine in NVIDIA graphics processing units (GPUs) to solve many complex computational problems. It unlocks the power of the hundreds of cores in your NVIDIA GeForce GPU to accelerate some of the most performance hungry computing applications. From video transcoding to "Folding home", CUDA technology already adopted by thousands of programmers to speed up intensive computing applications.

• NVIDIA PhysX technology

  NVIDIA PhysX is the next big thing in gaming! Delivering physics in games is no easy task. It's an extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous amounts of simultaneous mathematical and logical calculations. The best way to get real-time physics, such as explosions that cause dust and debris, characters with life-like motion or cloth that drapes and tears naturally is with an NVIDIA PhysX-ready GeForce processor.
