CUDA Technology
NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology unlocks the power of the GPU’s processor cores to accelerate the most demanding system tasks - such as video transcoding – delivering incredible performance improvements over traditional CPUs.
PureVideo HD Technology
Bring the latest Blu-ray movies to life with NVIDIA® PureVideo® HD technology. Sharp images, smooth video transitions, and vibrant colors are reproduced on the screen using very little power. Integrated with the leading HD movie software players, PureVideo HD does the video decoding, instead of the power-hungry CPU, extending your battery life, reducing fan noise and freeing the CPU for multitasking, so you never miss a scene.
Hybrid SLI Technology
NVIDIA® Hybrid SLI® technology delivers multi-GPU benefits when an NVIDIA motherboard GPU is combined with an NVIDIA discrete GPU. With this GeForce GPU, the essential benefit of this technology is the ability to extend the life of your battery considerably with HybridPower.
HybridPower Technology
NVIDIA® HybridPower™ technology is a key feature of Hybrid SLI, allowing you to unleash graphics performance when you need it, or instantly switch gears to a lower power mode from the motherboard GPU for longer battery life and quieter operation. This reduces system power consumption dramatically and extends battery life up to 50% longer.
