NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface)
NVIDIA SLI™ (Scalable Link Interface) technology is a revolutionary approach to scalability and increased performance. NVIDIA SLI takes advantage of the increased bandwidth of the PCI Express™ bus architecture, and features hardware and software innovations within NVIDIA GPUs (graphics processing units) and NVIDIA nForce4 MCPs (media and communications processors). Together the NVIDIA SLI patent-pending technologies work seamlessly to deliver heart-pounding PC performance. And depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled gaming experiences.

NVIDIA Unified Architecture
Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering an incredibly true-to-life 3D graphics.

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.

High Dynamic Range (HDR)
High dynamic-range(HDR) lighting effects bring environments to life for a truly immersive experience. It takes advantage of the subtle light, texture, and color intricacies to create incredibly realistic environments.

HDTV Technology
Enhanced HDTV processing delivers 50% efficiency improvement and WMV9 1080p support.

HDCP Compliant
HDCP (high definition content protection) is a standard that is encoded into the video signal to prevent it from being pirated. If a source device is HDCP coded and is connected to a HDTV display or projector without the proper HDCP decoding mechanism, the picture is relegated to “snow” or in some cases, very low (480P) resolutions of the images. In order to see HDTV with HDCP compliance, both the source and display devices must be equipped with DVI connections that can enable HDCP decoding.

NVIDIA Essential Vista
NVIDIA® GeForce® GPUs are essential for accelerating the Windows Vista experience by offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased productivity, vibrant photos, smooth, high-definition videos, and realistic games.

PCI Express Support
PCI Express is a new Intel bus architecture that doubles the bandwidth of the AGP 8X bus, delivering over 4 GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfers.

Nothing like a cheap Ultra!

I bought this to go SLI with my existing EVGA 8800 Ultra. This card has no factory OC, but that is ok. In SLI, works like a champ. Solo worked well also as I had to return the other card for warranty work. BIIIG cards that will heat a room up in no time, but the performance is sweet.

Great Card

I got this card to replace a PNY 8400 GS. This card is great. Very fast, and I have had only a minor problem with it. The problem being that it gets hot. I downloaded Rivatuner and turned up the fan speed to 100%......and its not a problem any more. I really wish they had some more of these. I would pay $199 for another one in a heart beat.

This is one bad ass card! I purchased it from tiger when it was 199.99 and its one of the best cards of I have ever seen. I can play Crysis at max settings with no lag what so ever. I just wish I would have bought two at that price.
