CHIPSET SPECIFICATIONS
zNVIDIA 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.
zNVIDIA CUDA Technology: CUDA
technology unlocks the power of the GPU’s
processor cores to accelerate the most
demanding system tasks – such as video
transcoding – delivering incredible
performance improvement over traditional
CPUs.
