Powered by the proven NVIDIA CineFX 3.0 engine, these advanced GPUs enable unlimited programmability and infinite program length, allowing develops to create new class of advanced visuals and effects. In addition, features such as displacement mapping enable the creation of unique 3D characters and objects, allowing develops to alter a 3D models appearance on an individual vertex basis. Through this technique, developers can create ultra realistic models that fully interact with the unique lighting of a particular environment. In addition, through Shader Model 3.0 and the advanced CineFX 3.0 engine, game develops can create complex lifelike effects like skin, hair and shadows that fool the eye of even the most discriminating game enthusiast.

Video-338/348PCI 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. An integrated TV encoder allows you to connect your PC to TV for direct to TV playback and advanced adaptive de-interlacing technology provides smooth playback on progressive displays.

Built on the foundation of the industry-renowned NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), Video-338/348PCI series deliver unmatched compatibility with the widest range of games and applications for the ultimate "install and play" experience. Equip yourself with a Video-338/348PCI series GPU so you can play your games the way it's meant to be played.
