The 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X video accelerator is nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200 with AGP 8X core technology based on built-in 128MB DDR memory modules onboard. This AGP 8X bus accelerator is capable of driving extremely complex graphics and character animation images on your desktop PC with unparalleled speed and clarity-providing beautiful images like those you've never experienced before. The particular emphasis of this AGP's ability is ease of play for all top-end PC games with the preferred resolution, unique visual effects and life-like animation these games require. Like many other of these realistic graphical improvements, the 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X (as well as the games) is best used in combination with newer, high-end desktop PCs'. The nVIDIA GeForce4™ Titanium Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is at the root of the advanced nFiniteFX™ II new technology from nVIDIA, and it delivers up to three times the performance of the GeForce3™. Dual Vertex Shaders inject personality into characters and environments, and enable these Pixel Shaders with new Z-correct bump mapping ability, which compose all of the life-like surface details like so real on your screen.

The most significant new feature is the "Quad Cache", four individually dedicated and optimized memory caches allowing almost instant pipeline access and, as a bonus, the reuse of loose bandwidth as well. Built-in amazing 128MB frame buffers; up to a 650MHz of DDR memory-the world's faster; a 300MHz core clock for unmatched clock speed, and 113 million transistors, the Titanium GPU™ delivers nearly twice the memory bandwidth of the previous high performance GPU, and enables end users to run applications at highest resolutions with astonishingly fast frame refresh rates.

Another feature of the 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X is the video accelerator, which integrate the HDVP (High Definition Video Processor) and DVD (Digital Versa Display) playback with higher definition at greatly increased frame rates.

A leverage of combination of hardware and software technology, nVIDIA's new GeForce4™Titanium GPU will provide many of the new features and benefits to you look for in your desktop computing as well as the best performance, combing usual quality and exceedingly crisp resolution. With all of this, 3DForce4 Ti4200-8X video card will bring-up a new level of graphics accomplishment and flexibility to the high-end PC market!
