GTX 260 ....... THE BEGINNING OF GTX 200 series

GTX 260

• 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture: Second generation architecture delivers up to 50% more gaming performance over the first generation through 192 enhanced processing cores that provide incredible shading horsepower.

• NVIDIA PhysX™-Ready¹: GeForce GPU support for NVIDIA PhysX technology, enabling a totally new class of physical gaming interaction for a more dynamic and realistic experience with GeForce.

• 3-way NVIDIA SLI® Technology²: Industry leading 3-way NVIDIA SLI technology offers amazing performance scaling by implementing 3-way AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering) for the world’s fastest gaming solution under Windows Vista with solid, state-of-the-art drivers.

• NVIDIA CUDA™ Technology³: CUDA technology unlocks the power of the GPU’s processing cores to accelerate the most demanding system tasks – such as video encoding – delivering up to 7x performance over traditional CPUs.

• NVIDIA PureVideo® HD Technology⁴ The combination of high-definition video decode acceleration and post-processing that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video.

• NVIDIA HybridPower™ Technology⁵ Lets you switch from the GeForce GTX 260 graphics card to the motherboard GeForce GPU when running non graphically-intensive applications for a quiet, low power PC experience.

¹ The GeForce GTX 260 GPU ships with hardware support for NVIDIA PhysX technology. NVIDIA PhysX drivers are required to experience in-game GPU PhysX acceleration. Refer to www.nvidia.com/PhysX for more information.
² NVIDIA SLI-certified versions of GeForce PCI Express GPUs only. A GeForce GTX 260 GPU must be paired with another GeForce GTX 260 GPU (graphics card manufacturer can be different). SLI requires sufficient system cooling and a compatible power supply. Visit www.slizone.com for more information and a listing of SLI-Certified components.
³ Requires application support for CUDA technology.
⁴ Feature requires supported video software. Features may vary by product.
⁵ Requires NVIDIA HybridPower™-enabled motherboard.
