UltraShadow II Technology
Enhances the performance of bleeding-edge games, like id Software's Doom III, that feature complex scenes with multiple light sources and objects. Second-generation technology delivers more than 4× the shadow processing power over the previous generation.

64-Bit Texture Filtering and Blending
Based on the OpenEXR technology from Industrial Light & Magic, NVIDIA’s 64-bit texture implementation sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending.

great card, great price. Some of the semi-older games like Far Cry display strange; the dark objects are bright (like interior of the air craft carrier) while bright things are dark (like dude's face). That's nothing to do with the card; it's the game conflicting with the drivers or something. The card is very stable, i left it on for three days with a 300 watt power supply. Save yourself some cash and get this beast!

I bought the card to play Battlefield 2. I have the settings on low and keep a screen resolution of 1024 x 768. Using Fraps I average 65 frames per second. To achieve those scores I had to turn off/disable my second monitor. For a frame of reference, my friend has a PCI Express vid card and he's averaging 95 frames per second. The other issue to consider is that the card is listed as a GS and I think is marketed by DiabloTek as a GS however on bootup is writes GTS to the screen.
