Friday, July 2nd, 2010

At Geekbox, next-generation gaming has arrived. Configure your custom built gaming PC with NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 470 or GTX 480, and give your games an adrenaline shot with the world’s fastest performance and futuristic, visually-stunning graphics. Experience heart-pounding, cinematic visuals on your favorite games with the combined power of DirectX 11, CUDA, and NVIDIA PhysX technologies. And expand your visual real estate across three HD displays in jaw-dropping stereoscopic 3D for the ultimate in immersive gaming. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480: pure adrenaline meets visual bliss.

Incredibly detailed visuals
Experience an unprecedented level of detail and realism in the latest games. Tessellation, one of the biggest new features of Microsoft DirectX11, helps developers create more detailed characters and terrain in games, bringing you sharper, crisper images and a more realistic experience. GeForce GTX 400 GPUs deliver up to 8x the tessellation performance compared to competition, bringing your games closer to reality without sacrificing the high frame rates you enjoy.

Stunning visual effects
Cutting-edge Microsoft DirectX 11 graphics and NVIDIA® PhysX® technology take gaming to a new level. Witness effects so realistic that you’ll have to remind yourself it’s just a game.

Total Immersion
Breakthrough the boundaries of your screen. Games, movies and photos enter a new dimension with NVIDIA 3D Vision technology. Thrill seeker? Use two GeForce GTX 480 cards in NVIDIA SLI configuration to project across three displays with NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround technology. Warning: May cause screen envy.
