SANTA CLARA, CA —JANUARY 18, 2006—NVIDIA
Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader in programmable
graphics processor technologies, today announced the new NVIDIA
GeForce 7300 GS graphics processing unit (GPU). The latest addition to
the Company’s award-winning GeForce 7 Series line up, the GeForce 7300
GS boasts the video and gaming features of today’s most advanced GPUs
to deliver stunning, high-definition video—up to 1080i resolution—and
ultra-realistic gaming effects at mainstream price points without
compromising performance. In addition, the GeForce 7300 GS GPU is
primed for the upcoming Microsoft Vista operating system
(OS).
“The GeForce 7300 GS GPU is an ideal foundation for today’s
mainstream PCs because it offers high-definition video playback
features that can not be matched by integrated graphics—and it is
designed to have consumers ready for the transition to Microsoft’s
next-generation operating system,” said Ujesh Desai, general manager of
desktop GPUs at NVIDIA. “For a home theater PC, GeForce 7300 GS
delivers exceptional video acceleration and incredible image quality to
take the viewing experience to the next-level. For an entry-level
gaming PC, GeForce 7300 GS delivers Shader Model 3.0 support and
support for high dynamic-ranging lighting (HDR), which we expect new
games will require in the future.”
Based on the award-winning architecture and feature set of the
acclaimed GeForce 7800 GPUs, the new GeForce 7300 GS GPU features
advanced technologies including:
- NVIDIA PureVideo technology—the combination of high-definition
video processors and software delivers unprecedented picture clarity,
smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for the
playback of all video content.
- The programmable, superscalar GeForce 7 Series graphics
architecture—GeForce 7300 GS delivers twice the graphics horsepower of
the Company’s previous-generation mainstream GPUs .
- Support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 and HDR
rendering for advanced lighting effects, as well as transparency
antialiasing—to deliver ultra-realistic visual quality in the latest
games.
- Advanced NVIDIA TurboCache technology—shares the capacity and
bandwidth of dedicated video memory and dynamically available system
memory for turbocharged performance and larger total graphics memory.
- NVIDIA ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)—for worry-free compatibility for an easy “install-and-play” experience.
NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GS-based graphics cards are available for
purchase at approximately $99 USD from many of the world’s leading
add-in card makers. The Asia Pacific region will see immediate
availability of GeForce 7300 GS-based add-in cards in time for Chinese
New Year. Availability in Europe and North America will follow in early
February. GeForce 7300 GS-based PCs will also be available from the
world’s leading system builders starting in early February. For further
