Point of View is the first graphics card vendor to inform me about their new GeForce cards. The GeForce GTX 280 has 240 shaders, 602MHz GPU, 1296MHz shaders and 1GB GDDR3 clocked at 2214MHz. The cheaper GeForce GTX 260 has 192 shaders, 576MHz GPU, 1242MHz shaders and 896MB GDDR3 clocked at 1998MHz.
The most advanced graphics processing technology has been upgraded. The 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified architecture will boost your graphics performance like nothing before! This next era of computer graphics is heading into a complete new direction with the GeForce GTX 200 Series graphics cards.
One of the most exiting new features of the new GeForce GTX 200 Series is the integrated support for PhysX. This incredible technology gives the graphics card the ability to accelerate true-to-life physics calculations which are needed for explosions, environmental destructions and level interaction, while keeping a stable frame rate!
The GTX 200 Series GPU is capable of accelerating Windows Vista, High definition movies and 3d applications such as games and OpenGL software. Besides that, the GPU also has support for the new NVIDIA Technology: CUDA. With this new GPGPU technology (General-purpose computing on graphics processing units) regular software can be accelerated by the graphics processor. All together, these PCI-Express 2.0 cards are built for the future! Both the GeForce GTX 260 and the GeForce 280 are guaranteed to offer the ultimate graphics performance.
