HDMI with Audio Integration Solution (Optional)\nThe NVIDIA GeForce 8 Series graphics card supports HDMI with audio integration solution. With a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and an extra signal cord through the bracket, audio source from sound card(S/PDIF) can be integrated into HDMI interface by simply plugging the cord into the pinhead located on graphics card. Only 1 single HDMI cable is required while streaming audio/video data to flat-panel display devices, such as Plasma/LCD TVs, or projector. \n\nNVIDIA CineFX 5.0 Shading Architecture \n- Microsoft Vista Features\n- Vertex shaders\n- Support for Microsoft DirectX 10.0 Vertex Shader 4.0\n- Encompass' Transform and Lighting\n- Displacement mapping\n- Geometry instancing\n- Pixel shades\n- Support for DirectX 10.0 Pixel Shader 4.0\n- Support for full pixel branching\n- Support for Multiple Render Targets (MRTs)\n- Infinite-length pixel programs\n- Next-generation texture engine\n- Full 128-bit studio-quality floating point precision through the entire rendering pipeline,with native hardware support for 32 bpp,64 bpp,and 128 bpp rendering modes. \n\n64-Bit Texture Filtering and Blending\n- Full floating point is supported throughout entire pipeline\n- Floating point filtering improves the quality of images in motion\n- Floating point texturing drivers new levels of clarity and image detail\n- Floating point frame buffer blending gives detail to special effects like motion blur and explosions\n\nNVIDIA Intellisample 4.0 Technology\n- Advanced 16X anisotropic filtering (up to 128 taps)\n- Rotated-grid antialiasing for removing jagged edges for incredible edge quality\n- Support for advanced lossless compression algorithms for color, texture,and z-data at higher resolutions and frame retes\n- Fast z-clear\n- Support for normal map compression\n- New transparent supersampling and transparent multisampling antialiasing modes.\n\nNVIDIA PureVideo Technology\n- Patented hardware and software technology allows two GPUs to run in parallel to scale performance\n- Three dedicated video engines\n- MPEG-2 HD and WMV HD video playback up to 1920 X1080p resolution\n- H 264 hardware decode acceleration\n- Decryption supported for all standard HD Video formats-AES-128 CTR mode,AES-128 CBC\nmode,and AES-128 ECB mode.\n- Industry's most advanced video algorithms\n- Overlay color temperature correction\n- Microsoft Video Mixing Renderer (VMR) support for multiple video windows with full video quality and features in each window\n- Integrated HDTV output.\n\nAdvanced Display Functionality\n- Dual integrated 400MHz RAMDACs for display resolutions up to and including 2048 X 1536 at 85 Hz\n- Dual MIO ports for interfacing to external TMDS transmitters and external TV encoders\n- Full NVIDIA nView multi-display technology capability\n\nAdvanced Engineering\n- Designed for PCI Express X16\n- Designed for high-speed GDDR3 and GDDR4 memory\n- Cooling as low as 24 dB delivered by adcanced thermal managemenet and thermal monitoring.\n\nNVIDIA Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) 3.0 Technology\n- DVC color controls.\n- DVC image sharpening controls.\n\nAPI Support\n- Complete DirectX support,including the latest version of Microsoft DirectX 10.0 Shader Model 4.0.\n- Full OpenGL support,including OpenGL 2.0.
