New Microsoft® DirectX® 11 with Shader Model 5.0 technology enables the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 to take visual realism to new heights with integrated GPU-accelerated tessellation. GPU-accelerated tessellation technology delivers photo-realistic visuals and details in supported games for in-game characters and environments that visually mimic reality with the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470.
The ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 deliver high-quality details with an enhanced anti-aliasing algorithm that delivers up to 32x sample rates. The improved anti-aliasing technology in the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 delivers lightning-fast performance and superior visuals free of annoying jagged edges.
NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ Surround technology enables gamers that combine a pair of ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 or GeForce® GTX 470 graphics cards with NVIDIA® SLI™ technology to experience the epitome of immersive gaming. NVIDIA® 3D Vision™ Surround technology expands games across three displays with real 3D effects for a gaming experience that immersive gamers with the virtual world.
NVIDIA® PhysX® technology completes the immersive gaming experience with the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 graphics cards. PhysX® technology delivers life-like environmental, weather, explosion, fire and other effects that leave you breathless with the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470.
“The ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 graphics cards are a major advancement in graphics technology. The level of visual realism, performance and immersion delivered by the cards are simply astonishing,” Mr. Berger. “You really have to completely experience what the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 have to deliver first-hand to believe it.”
New HDMI 1.3a technology enables the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 with crystal clear 8-channel digital surround sound, xvYCC and DeepColor technologies. HDMI xvYCC and DeepColor technologies deliver support for up to 48-bit color depths that go beyond the traditional 32-bit color depths for more vibrant colors and richer black-levels.
NVIDIA® CUDA™ technology accelerates everyday tasks such as video processing and image editing using the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® 470 graphics cards. GPU-accelerated video processing and image editing with the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 results in performance that exceeds the world’s fastest desktop CPUs.
The ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 ship with two technology showcase applications – Supersonic Sled and Design Garage – that let users instantly take advantage of the potential and performance of what the graphics cards have to offer.
Supersonic Sled is a racing game showcase that lets users race a rocket-driven sled down a 6-mile track while showcasing DirectX® 11 GPU-accelerated tessellation, PhysX® and CUDA™ technologies. Design Garage demonstrates the power of ray tracing technology and enables gamers to interact with the latest high-performance cars with incredible photo-realistic details using every ounce of power from the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 graphics cards.
It’s time to play with the ZOTAC GeForce® GTX 480 and GeForce® GTX 470 graphics cards.
