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.

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.

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.
