Dual Copy Engines

Enables the highest rates of parallel data processing and concurrent throughput between the GPU and host, accelerating techniques such as ray tracing, color grading and physical simulation.

Bindless Textures

Dramatically increases the number of unique textures available to shaders at run-time, enabling vastly more different materials and richer texture detail in scenes.

NVIDIA SMX

Delivers more processing performance and efficiency through this new, innovative streaming multiprocessor design that allows a greater percentage of space to be applied to processing cores versus control logic.

H.264 Encoder

Dedicated H.264 encode engine that' independent of 3D/compute pipeline and delivers faster than real-time performance for transcoding, video editing, and other encoding applications.

PCI Express 3.0 Compliance

Enables data transfer rate up to 8 GT/sec per lane for an aggregate bandwidth of 32GB/sec bi-directional (16GB/sec in each direction).

Ultra-Quiet Design

Silent cooling design enables acoustics lower than 28db for an ultra-quiet desktop environment.

Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)

Up to 64X FSAA for dramatically reducing visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies," resulting in unparalled image quality and highly realistic scenes.

NVIDIA FXAA and TXAA

Reduces visible aliasing and delivers higher image quality without the performance hit by harnessing the power of the GPU's CUDA cores and new film-style AA techniques.
