* Built for Microsoft Windows Vista
   NVIDIA's fourth-generation GPU architecture built for Windows Vista 
   gives users the best possible experience with the Windows Aero 3D 
   graphical user interface, included in the new operating system (OS) from 
   Microsoft. 
* Full Microsoft DirectX 10 Support
   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. 
* NVIDIA Lumenex Engine
   Delivers stunning image quality and floating point accuracy with ultra-
   fast frame rates: 
    - 16X Anti-aliasing Technology:
      Lightning fast, high-quality anti-aliasing at up to 16x sample rates 
      obliterates jagged edges. 
    - 128-bit Floating Point High Dynamic-Range (HDR) Lighting:
      Twice the precision of prior generations for incredibly realistic 
      lighting effects-now with support for anti-aliasing. 
* NVIDIA Quantum Effects Technology
   Advanced shader processors architected for physics computation enable a 
   new level of physics effects to be simulated and rendered on the GPU-all 
   the while freeing the CPU to run the game engine and AI. 
* NVIDIA ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
   Delivers a proven record of compatibility, reliability, and stability 
   with the widest range of games and applications. ForceWare provides the
