• Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
  Up to 16x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or “jaggies,” resulting in highly realistic scenes.
• Hardware 3D Window Clipping
  Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) which improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer.
• HDMI Support
  Enables transport of video and audio to HDTV’s and other HDMI capable devices (via HDMI adaptor).
• Highest Workstation Application Performance
  Next-generation architecture enables over 2x improvement in geometry and fill rates with the industry’s highest performance for professional CAD, DCC, and scientific applications.
• High-Performance Display Outputs
  400MHz RAMDACs and up to two DisplayPort digital connectors drive the highest resolution digital displays available on the market.
• 8K Texture and Render Processing
  The ability to texture from and render to 8K x 8K surfaces. Beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing.
• Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability Shader Model 4.0
  Reference standard for shader model 4.0 enabling a higher level of performance and realistic effects for OpenGL and next generation DirectX® 10 industry-leading professional applications.
