Feature | Benefit |
nfiniteFXTM Engine | Enables dynamic, breakthrough effects, which deliver the next leap in realism to 3D graphics. Users will experience a virtually infinite number of special effects via the Vertex Shader and Pixel Shader engine components. |
Vertex Shader | Injects personality into characters and scenes by allowing characters to move and show facial emotion, materials to stretch, and scenes to come alive. |
Pixel Shader | Creates ambiance with materials and surfaces that mimic reality. Pixel shaders alter lighting and surface effects that replace artificial, computerized looks with high-impact organic surfaces. |
Lightspeed Memory ArchitectureTM | Makes GeForce3 the fastest GPU ever produced, and generates the power to deliver earth-shattering performance at all resolutions. |
High-Resolution Antialiasing (HRAA) | Produces the best visual quality and performance for all applications. HRAA delivers a high level of detail and crisp, clean lines at high frame rates, featuring the Quincunx AA mode. |
Microsoft® DirectX® 8.0 Compatibility | Ensures compatibility with the next generation of 3D applications to hit the market. The GeForce3 GPU supports DirectX 8.0 features and special effects for the ultimate 3D experience. |
World's Fastest DDR Memory Interface | 7.36GB per second memory subsystem ensures peak performance and the smoothest frame rates ever. |
High-Definition Video Processor (HDVP) | Turns your PC into a full-quality DVD and HDTV player. |
AGP 4X/2X and AGP Texturing Support | Takes advantage of new methods of transferring information more efficiently, and allows content developers to use high-quality, 32-bit color textures and high-polygon-count scenes. |
Microsoft DirectX and OpenGL® Optimizations and Support | Delivers the best performance and guarantees compatibility with all current and future applications and games. |
Unified Driver Architecture | Guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software. |
TV-Out and Video Modules | Gives end users the option of big-screen gaming, digital timeshifting VCR, and video-editing applications. |
