NVIDIA GPUs—TOP TO BOTTOMThe unmatched breadth of the NVIDIA GeForce product line enriches 3D, 2D, video, audio, high-definition digital video, and television for every audience and platform. In addition, NVIDIA GPUs provide powerful graphics at every price point, acting as the core component of entertainment, home, and business solutions. This top-to-bottom product strategy has made NVIDIA a leading supplier of GPUs to the major OEM PC manufacturers, system builders, and add-in card vendors. 

INDUSTRY-LEADING SOFTWAREThe GeForce GPUs leverage the NVIDIA® ForceWare™ unified software environment (USE) to unleash the full potential of the PC graphics experience. An industry-leading software feature set, ForceWare delivers advanced technologies—including NVIDIA® nView™ multi-display technology for increased screen real estate, and NVIDIA® Digital Vibrance Control™ (DVC) technology for richer colors and brighter images and text. Built on the foundation of the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), ForceWare's simple software installations and upgrades consistently deliver compatibility with future software applications and APIs for long-term reliability and stability. Delivering the most complete software feature set, a rock-solid driver architecture, and continuous performance and feature updates over the life of the product, ForceWare unleashes the full graphics potential of all GeForce GPUs.

From the introduction of the first graphics processing unit (GPU) to the dawn of cinematic computing with today’s NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX family of GPUs, NVIDIA continually redefines the limits of 3D graphics technology. Each generation of GeForce GPUs delivers groundbreaking technologies, driving the development of special effects forward, and steadily closing the gap between 3D graphics on the big screen and Hollywood dreams on the desktop. It’s no wonder why NVIDIA GPUs are the leading development platform of choice for game and content creators. With relentless execution, NVIDIA has developed the reputation as the performance and technology leader in 3D graphics — a reputation that is enhanced by the new top-to-bottom family of GeForce FX GPUs.

THE WAY IT ’S MEANT TO BE PLAYEDProviding the ultimate platform for digital entertainment, NVIDIA GPUs are the overwhelming choice to power today’s hottest games. With NVIDIA’s rock-solid ForceWare graphics drivers, NVIDIA graphics solutions are the leading development platform of choice for game and content creators.
