XHD: Extreme High Definition Gaming

What Is XHD Gaming?

Extreme High Definition Gaming (or "Widescreen Gaming")
Go beyond standard high definition (HD) and experience Extreme High Definition (XHD), the ultimate widescreen, ultra-high-resolution PC experience made possible by NVIDIA® GeForce® graphics processing units (GPUs). XHD has over 7x the picture clarity of native 1080i HD televisions and 2x the picture clarity of 1080p HD televisions on today's hottest PC games.

Pairing a supported NVIDIA GeForce GPU with an XHD digital display allows you to run your applications in widescreen 16:10 aspect ratios. XHD will immerse you in games like never before, letting you see more of the exciting gaming action. And for users that want more space for photo or video editing, XHD lets you spread your work over the entire desktop providing over 20% more desktop space than normal 4:3 aspect ratio monitors.

XHD even works in conjunction with NVIDIA® ForceWare® software features such as display gridlines, letting you divide up a display into separate regions for each of their applications.

For the ultimate XHD experience, NVIDIA® SLI™ delivers unparalleled gaming experiences by enabling multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions to work together a single system. This combined horsepower delivers increased graphics performance and visual quality, allowing you to turn on every in-game option and the highest antialiasing mode.

Key benefits:

  • Ultra-high resolution widescreen modes (2560x1600, 1920x1200, and 1680x1050) deliver the highest picture quality available on any consumer platform.
  • Widescreen aspect ratio format allows you to see more of their PC games, video editing, and even Google Earth.
  • Top selling XHD titles with stunning cinematic graphics and lifelike characters at blazing speeds are available now (for more information, please visit www.nzone.com).
  • Integrated dual-link DVI ports of GeForce GPUs* supports XHD digital displays up to 2560x1600.

SLI - Now Run Up to FOUR Video Cards Simultaneously!
SLI technology was designed for gaming at these extreme resolutions. Most of the hottest games, such as Timeshift, Battlefield 2, Call of Duty 2, Quake 4, King Kong, and Age of Empires III, have native support for widescreen gaming. However some of the current games require hacks, registry keys, etc. to get them to work in widescreen mode.

Today's enthusiasts are always looking for ways to squeeze the ultimate performance out of their PC. Using revolutionary NVIDIA® SLI™ technology, today's PCs can realize graphics performance of up to double that of a single GPU (graphics processing unit) solution.

What is HDTV?
The High Definition Plasma TV delivers a wide aspect, high-definition resolution giving you life-like picture quality. Offering a high definition resolution, the HDTV TV gives you razor-sharp visual images and motion video delivering crisp, clear images with fast-paced action video.

New video formats are emerging to address these demands, including H.264, VC-1, WMV-HD and MPEG-2 HD for high-definition DVD movies.

Now with an NVIDIA® GeForce® 6 or GeForce 7 Series-powered PC and NVIDIA's advanced PureVideo™ technology, you can easily and affordably take advantage of the latest high definition video content. Here is a sampling of widely available HD content:

Bringing the High-Definition Home Theater Experience to Your PC
Today's consumers demand a high-definition (HD) home theater experience on their PC. They want superb picture clarity, stutter-free playback and multiple display connectivity options. The best way to achieve this is with NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology.

Watch videos on your desktop PC, notebook PC, or HDTV without the annoying artifacts and imperfections of traditional PC-based video solutions. NVIDIA PureVideo technology is the combination of a dedicated video processing core and software that delivers ultra-smooth, high-definition H.264, VC-1, WMV, and MPEG-2 movies with minimal CPU utilization and low power consumption. And the high-precision subpixel processing enables videos to be scaled to any size, so that even small videos look like they were recorded in high-resolution.
