Geared up to accelerate heavy graphics tasks while delivering exciting visual experience, NVIDIA recently unleashed its latest GeForce GTX 200 graphics cards series with the company’s new flagship GeForce G200 GPU (graphics processing unit). Manufactured using 65nm process technology featuring an unprecedented amount of transistors for higher performance and enhanced PC gaming performance, the G200 GPU holds 1.4 billion transistors on its 240 unified shader/stream processors (on GTX 280) with re-designed thread dispatch processor, 80 texture units (80 texture address, 80 texture filtering units), 32 render back ends as well as 512-bit memory controller supporting PCI Express 2.0 platform.
The new family of GTX 200 graphics cards include the GTX 280 and GTX 260, all equipped with a new version of the NV IO controller that supports D-Sub, dual-link DVI, DisplayPort, and TV-Out. Other feature highlights of the GTX 280 include 1296MHz processor clock, 1GB GDDR3 standard memory configuration with 1107MHz memory clock, 512-bit memory interface width, and 141.7GB/sec memory bandwidth. The GTX 260 clutches 192 processor cores, 576MHz graphics clock, 1242MHz processor clock, 999MHz memory clock, 896MB GDDR3 standard memory configuration, 448-bit memory interface width, and 111.9GB/sec memory bandwidth.
The GTX 280 and GTX 260 include the second generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture, which delivers more gaming performance over previous NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra through improved 240 processor cores for an enhanced shading horsepower at resolutions as high as 2560 x 1600 dpi.
NVIDIA’s new 3-way SLI and PureVideo HD technologies are built in the GTX 280 and GTX 260 for implementing 3-way alternate frame rendering dubbed “the world’s fastest gaming solution under Windows Vista.” The new GTX 200 series is also set to support the groundbreaking NVIDIA CUDA technology, which now allows programmers to write applications and tinker on the GPU.
