As a citizen of the global village, GIGABYTE exert ourselves to be a
pioneer in environment care. Give the whole of Earth a promise that our
products do not contain any of the restricted substances in
concentrations and applications banned by the RoHS Directive, and are
capable of being worked on at the higher temperatures required for lead
free solder. One Earth and GIGABYTE Cares!
Shader Model 5.0
Shader Model 5.0 adds support for indexed temporaries which can be
quite useful for certain tasks.Regular direct temporary access is
preferable is most cases. One reason is that indexed temporaries are
hard to optimize. The shader optimizer may not be able to identify
optimizations across indexed accesses that could otherwise have been
detected. Furthermore, indexed temporaries tend to increase register
pressure a lot. An ordinary shader that contains for instance a few
dozen variables will seldom consume a few dozen temporaries in the end
but is likely to be optimized down to a handful depending on what the
shader does. This is because the shader optimizer can easily track all
variables and reuse registers. This is typically not possible for
indexed temporaries, thus the register pressure of the shader may
increase dramatically. This could be detrimental to performance as it
reduces the hardware’s ability to hide latencies.
PCI-E 2.0
PCI Express® 2.0 –Now you are ready for the most demanding graphics applications thanks to PCI Express® 2.0 support, which allows up to twice the throughput of current PCI Express® cards. Doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s (PCIe 1.1) to 5 Gbit/sec.
HDCP Support
High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a form of copy
protection technology designed to prevent transmission of non-encrypted
high-definition content as it travels across DVI or HDMI digital
connections.
Microsoft Window7
Microsoft Windows 7 is the next generation operating system that will
mark a dramatic improvement in the way the OS takes advantage of the
graphics processing unit (GPU) to provide a more compelling user
experience. By taking advangate of the GPU for both graphics and
computing, Windows 7 will not only make todays's PCs more visual and
more interactive but also ensure that they have the speed and
responsiveness customers want
HDMI Ready

PhysX Technology
NVIDIA® PhysX™ is the next big thing in gaming!Delivering
physics in games is no easy task. It's an extremely compute-intensive
environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require
tremendous amounts of simultaneous mathematical and logical
calculations. The best way to get real-time physics, such as explosions
that cause dust and debris, characters with life-like motion or cloth
that drapes and tears naturally is with an NVIDIA®PhysX™-ready GeForce®
processor. PhysX software is widely adopted by over 150 games, is used
by more than 10,000 registered users and is supported on Sony
Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC. PhysX™
technology will take gaming to a whole new level.
