( 01 May 2008 )
The 512-Mbyte XLR8 GeForce 8800 GTS (gigatexel shader) PCIe (PCI Express) 2.0 graphics card claims a 100% offload of H.264 video decoding from the processor. Features include 128 stream processors clocking at 1.625 GHz; a 256-bit, 512-Mbyte frame buffer running at 1940 MHz; and a 5-GT (gigatexel)/sec PCIe 2.0 bandwidth. The devices also provide analog standard-definition-TV/high-definition-TV output, two dual-link DVI (digital-visual-interface) connectors, and integrated dual-link HDCP (high-definition-copy-protocol) support.
