NVIDIA® PureVideo™ HD technology lets you enjoy cinematic-quality HD DVD and Blu-ray movies with low CPU utilization and power consumption, allowing higher quality movie playback and picture clarity.PureVideo HD technology provides a combination of powerful hardware acceleration, content security, and integration with movie players, plus all the features found in PureVideo.
  • GIGABYTE V-tuner3
    GIGABYTE's monitoring and overclocking tool V-tuner 3 enables users to dynamically optimize the memory and GPU frequencies; moreover, demonstrates real-time temperature for models integrated with hardware thermal sensor chip.

    What's new with V-tuner3:
    *Auto detect most suitable OC Clock
    *Resume back to original CLK(BIOS Clock) while abnormal shut down
    *Use GPU internal Diode to get temp information, no more H/W monitor chip
    *Show 2D/3D CLK at the same time and tuning separately
    *Save CLK to enable OC every booting
