CineFX Engine The NVIDIA CineFX engine allows developers to easily apply their distinctive style to digital content, achieving cinematic visual effects in real time with specialized graphics programs called shaders. Powered by the CineFX engine, the GeForce FX shifts the focus from simple pixel fill rate to sophisticated pixel shading. The GeForce FX eliminates many programming barriers previously associated with pixel shaders by supporting long programs for even the most elaborate effects, and conditional branching capabilities for greater efficiency. To maximize programming choice, the NVIDIA CineFX engine includes the most complete hardware feature implementation for both OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX environments, including total support for the latest DirectX 9. 0 vertex and pixel shader specifications. Multi-Display Option NVIDIA s nView multi-display technology provides a revolutionary way to multi-task and process information easier. Instead of stacking window upon window within the confines of a single display, imagine spreading your work across multiple displays. Financial analysts can have a monitor for tracking each data stream. Graphic artists can use an entire display for palettes, and another for editing. NView provides a quick and easy way for you to multiply your Windows desktop, thereby increasing your efficiency and enabling you to see what you ve been missing. Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) At home, at work, and on the road, our daily computer usage is increasing, and clean visuals are critical for a satisfying, comfortable viewing experience. Now with Digital Vibrance Control (DVC), the power of stunning visuals is in your hands. DVC is a patent pending innovation for controlling color separation and intensity. With a simple control panel, you select and control the color settings of your display s entire visual output. With a simple control panel, you select and control the color settings of your display s entire visual output. Multi-Buffering (Double/Triple/Quad) Multi-Buffering allows for smooth animation and video playback by renering images on several invisible sheets or pages before they appear on the screen. The video card then transfers the image to the visible sheet or page that is shown on the monitor when it is ready to be displayed. Because the card is not having to render all of the images at the same time that they are displayed, this has the effect of making video and animations much smoother and more visually appealing. MPEG2 Decoding Acceleration This feature allows the graphics chip to assist a software MPEG2 decoder program (such as nDVD) by handling various aspects of the video playback such as scaling and color space conversion. This is very important because it allows the CPU overhead for DVD and MPEG2 playback to be significantly reduced and provides for superior image quality and stability during playback.
