GeForece 6600GT DirectX 9.0 shader model 3.0 support, agp 8x support, high-speed gddr3 memory interface
Features
Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 support
- Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for all DirectX 9 applications, including Shader Model 3.0 titles.
AGP 8X support
- Provides double the bandwidth of AGP 4X—2.1GB/sec. vs. 1.1GB/sec. AGP 8X enables more complex models and detailed textures, creating richer and more lifelike environments. Uninterrupted data flow allows for smoother video streaming and faster more seamless gameplay.
High-speed GDDR3 memory interface
- Support for high-speed GDDR3 memory delivers fluid frame rates for even the most advanced games and applications.
NVIDIA CineFX 3.0 engine
- Powers the next generation of cinematic realism. Full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 enables stunning and complex special effects. Next-generation shader architecture delivers faster and smoother game play.
NVIDIA UltraShadow II technology
- Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, like id Software’s Doom III, that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects. Second-generation technology delivers more than 4x the shadow processing power over the previous generation. NVIDIA Intellisample 3.0 technology
- The industry’s fastest antialiasing delivers ultra-realistic visuals, with no jagged edges, at lightning-fast speeds. Visual quality is taken to new heights through a new rotated grid sampling pattern.
NVIDIA PureVideo technology
- Turns your PC into a high-end home theater in stunning high definition with crystal-clear pictures, and the ability to enhance videos to full resolution in high detail. (Feature requires supported video software.)
Adaptable programmable video processor
- PureVideo's programmable technology adapts to new video encoding formats as they are developed to provide a future-proof video solution.
Advanced motion adaptive de-interlacing
- Smoothes video and DVD playback on progressive displays to deliver a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home theater systems. (Feature requires supported video software.)
Video scaling and filtering
- High-quality scaling and filtering technology delivers a clear, clean image at any window size, including full-screen HDTV resolutions.
Integrated HDTV encoder
- Provides world-class HDTV-out functionality up to and including 1920x1080i resolutions.
Video color correction
- Color temperature correction makes actors' faces appear natural, rather than washed out and pale, when playing videos on LCD and CRT displays. Display gamma correction ensures videos are not too dark, overly bright, or washed out regardless of the video format or display. (Feature requires supported video software.)
NVIDIA ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
- Delivers rock-solid forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product or driver because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.
