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.

Digital Vibrance Control (DVC) 3.0
Allows the user to adjust color controls digitally to compensate for the lighting conditions of their workspace, in order to achieve accurate, bright colors in all conditions.

NVIDIA PureVideo Technology
Today, consumers are demanding smooth, high-quality DVD playback and stutter-free, high-definition (HD) viewing for a home theater experience driven by their PC. And the only way to achieve this is with NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology, part of the GeForce™ 6 Series of GPUs.

I wasn't sure what to expect having bought this card but I'm not one bit sorry I made the purchase. Good all-around card, plenty of RAM to make do with a wide varety of games, ran Supremem Commander without a hitch other than the game lagging just the tiniest bit, but of course it is the base card needed to run SupCom. Huge heatsink which is very nice, although it's a little space-hogging if you have a micro-ATX board, but that's forgivable. Lots of great software features, and it says it requires a minimum 450 watts power supply, I'm running it currently with only 400 and it's managing to get by. VGA and DVI jacks are great, allows those who haven't upgraded to LCD to use this card also. A very worthwhile product, a very reputable showing for the high-end GeForce 6 series cards. A great card if you need reputable graphics acceleration on a tight budget.

This has the NV40 chip ..you may get lucky and be able to unlock the extra 8 pipes and 4 shaders that are masked (Rivatuner does this). I got one to replace an aging ATI 9600XT it's an excellent overclocker (425/1000) ..add some Ram sinks for max performance
