  • Page 4: Introduction

    Introduction 3DForce 6800 series video accelerators are nVIDIA GeForce™ 6800 core technology based 128MB/256MB DDR/DDR3 BGA memory modules built-in onboard. The 3DForce 6800 series GPUs supercharges PC game performance. Featuring groundbreaking technology innovations such as the industry’s first superscalar 16-pipe architecture and support for the world’s fastest DDR3 memory, these revolutionary GPUs arm you with everything you need to tear through your favorite games at unbelievable frame rates.

  • Page 5: Features And Specifications

    detail. 3DForce 6800 series deliver unmatched video features and functionality through the industry’s first on-chip video processor. This dedicated unit on the GPU handles the lion’s share of the video processing load, freeing up the CPU for other tasks. The video processor delivers MPEG support for encoding and decoding of both analog and digital video content, as well as high quality video scaling and filtering for impeccable playback quality at any widow size.
  • Page 6 Displacement mapping: CineFX 3.0 allows vertex processing with textures, providing a new level of depth and realism to every component, surface, and character in a scene. Displacement mapping allows developers to make subtle changes in a model’s geometry with very little computational cost.
  • Page 7 3DForce 6800 series GPUs also deliver a new 16x anisotropic filtering mode for the maximum detail on extreme geometry. In addition, Intellisample 3.0 utilizes 64-bit texture filtering and blending, enabling photorealistic lighting and shadow effects. High dynamic-range images are on the cutting edge of computer graphics.
  • Page 8 (called “depth bounds”), and focusing calculations only on the area most affected by the light source, developers can greatly accelerate the shadow generation process. With the ability to fine-tune shadows within critical regions, developers create incredible visualizations that mimic reality, and still achieve awesome performance for fast-action games.
  • Page 9 high-quality video features. They provide on-chip acceleration for many functions previously relegated to the CPU or a second chip. A 3DForce 6800 series GPU essentially serves as two chips in one: a GPU and a video processor. Video processing on the GPU deals with two major uses of video: playback (decoding), and recording analog video and converting it into a defined digital format (encoding).

  • Page 25 Q: What kind monitors can display 800x600 modes or higher resolution mode? Explain and Suggestion: To display 800x600 resolution at 60Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 31.5KHz horizontal scan rate (e.g., NEC 2A, 3D). At 72Hz refresh rate, the monitor must be capable of synchronizing a 48.0KHz scan rate (e.g., Sony HG 1304, NEC 4D, 5D, Seiko 1450).

    Some new monitors are also synchronizing this problem because built-in DDC (Data-Digital-Channel) feature. Sometime that DDC automatically setup the display frequency without loading video driver. Try to turn it off, or change settings of monitor type in your system. Q: Selection of color, resolution and refresh rate combination that always backs to default after restart the system.
  • Page 27 Answer Any “3D application”, a game, VRML, or modeling package, can benefit from 3D rendering. This is especially true of an application that uses texturing extensively, because texturing and texture filtering are very intensive operations at the pixel level in terms of CPU operations and demands for memory bandwidth. Without a set-up engine in a graphics controller, the CPU has to calculate the delta values for edges, color, and textures;...
