NVIDIA's 200 series of graphics cards combines cutting edge technology and advanced capabilities for best-in-class performance. The GTX285 boasts a 2nd Generation NVIDIA Unified Architecture solution for all your most demanding graphic needs. It’s Microsoft Vista ready and equipped with a PCI-Express 2.0 interface. The GTX285 supports 3-way SLI to seriously crank your performance options by using up to three graphics cards for insane flow rates.
The card's core clock runs at 648MHz, relieving your CPU of pixel crunching duty. Data surges through the GTX285's 240 stream processors fed by 1GB of 512-bit 2484MHz GDDR3 memory. Twin dual-linked DVI and 400 MHz RAMDAC lets you display 2560 x 1600 resolution video and graphics on even the largest monitors, or output to your home HDTV via the HDMI connectors (DVI-to-HDMI adapter is included) for maximum flexibility. It's got built-in support for DirectX 10, OpenGL 2.1, NVIDIA's PureVideoHD, CUDA and PhysX-ready render even the most intense environmental effects or HD DVD video with brilliant clarity.
The GTX285 delivers fluid frame rates and HD video with solid performance. If your motherboard can take it, the GTX285 can dish it out.
