<b>Colorful930-256M D2 LP (N930-022-L02)</b>
<b>CUDA</b>
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 in a fraction of the time required on a CPU. It includes the CUDA Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) and the parallel compute engine in the GPU.
<b>PureVideo</b>
NVIDIA PureVideo technology is the combination of a dedicated video processing core and software that delivers ultra-smooth, high-definition H.264, WMV, and MPEG-2 movies with minimal CPU utilization and low power consumption. And the high-precision subpixel processing enables videos to be scaled to any size.
<b>GDDR2</b>
GDDR2 (Graphics Double Data Rate 2) SDRAM is under the "4 bit Prefetch" architecture,it is twice times than DDR prefetch speed.The voltage lowered from 2.5V to 1.8V. This improves power consumption and heat generation, as well as enabling more dense memory configurations for higher capacities.
<b>256MB</b>
Video memory is used to hold the information necessary for a graphics card to drive a display device. In modern 3D graphics cards, the video memory may also hold 3D vector data, textures, backbuffers, overlays and GPU programs.For high end graphics cards, 1G to 2G or even more video memory is necessary to delivers all its performance power. For mid-range cards, 512M to 1G is usually enough, while for the entry level cards 256M or less is generally enough for the card performance.
<b>HDMI</b>
HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an popular interface for audiovisual equipment such as high-definition television and home theater systems. With 19 wires wrapped in a single cable that resembles a USB wire, HDMI is able to carry a bandwidth of 5 Gbps (gigabits per second). This and several other factors make HDMI much more desirable than its predecessors, component video, S-Video and composite video.
<b>PCI-E 2.0</b>
PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express), officially abbreviated as PCIe or PCI-E, is a computer expansion card standard designed to replace the older PCI, PCI-X, and AGP standards. PCI Express 2.0 specification was released in 2007 and doubled the rate of PCI-E 1.0 to a data rate of 500 MB/s and a transfer rate of 5.0 GT/s.
<b>DirectX 10</b>
Microsoft DirectX is a collection of application programming interfaces (APIs) for handling tasks related to multimedia, especially game programming and video, on Microsoft platforms. DirectX 10 aims to reduce the overhead of state changes via introducing the concept of state snapshots, which saves on the number of calls that need to be made.DirectX 10 also incorporates dynamic indexing within shaders, which again reduces the overhead of state changes.
<b>OpenGL</b>
OpenGL (Open Graphics Library) is the computer industry's standard application program interface (API) for defining 2-D and 3-D graphic images.
