Get pulled deeper into the gaming experience and HD video than ever before with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 280 GPU.
 
Experience high definition worlds, lifelike characters, and forces of nature so powerful that your palms sweat and your heart races with every frame.  Beyond games, watch Blu-ray movies and transcode video up to 7x faster than traditional CPUs(1).  With this GPU, both performance and immersion are absolute.

• 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture: Second generation architecture delivers up to 50% more gaming performance over the first generation through 240 enhanced processing cores that provide incredible shading horsepower.
• NVIDIA PhysX™-Ready(1): GeForce GPU support for NVIDIA PhysX technology, enabling a totally new class of physcial gaming interaction for a more dynamic and realistic experience with GeForce.
• 3-way NVIDIA SLI(R) Technology(2): Industry-leading 3-way NVIDIA SLI technology offers amazing performance scaling by implementing 3-way Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) for the world's fastest gaming solution under Windows Vista with solid, state-of-the-art drivers.
• NVIDIA CUDA(TM) Technology(3): CUDA technology unlocks the power of the GPU's processing cores to accelerate the most demanding systems tasks -- such as video encoding -- delivering up to 7x performance over traditional CPUs.
• NVIDIA PureVideo(R) HD Technology(4): The combination of high-definition video decode accerlation and post-processing that delivers unprecendented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for movies and video.
• NVIDIA HybridPower(TM) Technology(5): Lets you switch from the GeForce GTX 280 graphics card to the motherboard GeForce GPU when running non graphically-intensive applications for a quite, low power PC experience.
• The GeForce GTX 280 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.
• NVIDIA SLI-certified vesions of GeForce PCI Express GPUs only.  A GeForce GTX 280 GPU must be paired with another GeForce GTX 280 GPU (graphics 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.
• Requires application support for CUDA technology.
• Feature requires supported video software.  Features may vary by product.
• Requires NVIDIA HybridPower-enabled motherboard.
