Retail Box and Bundle
A quick look at the features list on the front of the box tells us this unit has 512MB of DDR3 memory, and is both Hybrid Power and NVIDIA PhysX Ready. The card is also Shader OC Ready, which we’ll certainly put to the test as we run it through the paces of Folding@Home a little later.
On the back of the box, we find a great deal of information about the card, including Features, Minimum System Requirements, and details of the Live Update 3 software.
Features:
- NVIDIA unified architecture
- Full Microsoft DirectX 10 Shader Model 4.0 support
- NVIDIA SLI –Ready
