   World's first DirectX 10 GPU with full Shader Model 4.0 support delivers 
   unparalleled levels of graphics realism and film-quality effects. 
* NVIDIA SLI Technology
   Delivers up to 2x the performance of a single graphics card 
   configuration for unequaled gaming experiences by allowing two graphics 
   cards to run in parallel. The must-have feature for performance PCI 
   Express graphics, SLI dramatically scales performance on today's 
   hottest games. 
* NVIDIA unified architecture
   Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to 
   geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operations, delivering up to 
   2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs. 
* GigaThread Technology
   Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, 
   simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in 
   advanced, next generation shader programs.
