Advanced Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing

Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater systems.

Bad Edit Correction

When videos are edited, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence. PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame for smooth, natural looking video.

Discrete, Programmable Video Processor

NVIDIA PureVideo is a discrete programmable processing core in NVIDIA GPUs that provides superb picture quality and ultra-smooth movies with 100% offload of H.264 video decoding from the CPU and significantly reduced power consumption.

Dynamic Contrast Enhancement

Provides post-processing and optimization of High Definition movies on a scene by scene basis for spectacular picture clarity.

Edge Enhancement

Sharpens movie images by providing higher contrast around lines and objects.

GigaThread™ Technology

Massively multi-threaded architecture supports thousands of independent, simultaneous threads, providing extreme processing efficiency in advanced, next generation shader programs.

Hardware Decode Acceleration

Provides ultra-smooth playback of H.264, VC-1, WMV and MPEG-2 HD and SD movies.

HDCP Capable

Designed to meet the output protection management (HDCP) and security specifications of the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats, allowing the playback of encrypted movie content on PCs when connected to HDCP-compliant displays

HDMI Integrated SD and HD TV Output

World-class TV-out functionality via HDMI connection. Supports resolutions up to 1080i/1080p, depending on motherboard, connection type and TV capability.

High-Quality Scaling

Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.

Inverse Telecine (3:2 and 2:2 Pulldown Correction)

Recovers original film images from films converted-to-video (DVDs, 1080i HD content), providing more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.

Low Profile Ready

Designed for HTPC (Home Theater PC) systems, low profile is about half-height of full size card, ideal for small form factory system, and able to fit in small space. Low profile bracket is included.
