Gammers today are getting more depending when it comes to graphics. ASUS listens well and combines all the latest technologies to deliver a complete visual solution for the ultimate gaming experience.

DirectX11 – smooth and true-to-life graphics

After many years of experimenting, tessellation has become critical in visual presentation. Popular games like Alien vs. Predator™ and Metro 2033™ use tessellation to produce smooth-looking models, and you need a powerful graphics card to get the full effect. ASUS graphics cards deliver revolutionary performance in DirectX 11’s most important new feature, GPU-accelerated tessellation. By allowing more detailed geometry to be packed into a scene, tessellation smoothes out blocky edges, allowing characters to be rendered with cinema-quality detail.

Also important to note about DX11:

  • More sophisticated animations
  • Details on all edges
  • Realistic Shadows

And since tessellation is only applied when necessary, game performance is not compromised.

With DirectX 11 done right, tessellation and displacement mapping fuse to generate 8X geometry processing performance, delivering incredible visual effects and better gaming enjoyment. After a coarse model (left) goes through tessellation, a smooth model is produced (middle). When displacement mapping is applied (right), characters approach film-like realism.

PhysX® – dynamic graphics effects

The ASUS EXGTX400 series is designed to take NVIDIA® PhysX® technology to the next level — making games more lifelike than ever with advanced effects such as turbulence and fluid dynamics. The new NVIDIA® GigaThread™ hardware scheduler allows 10X faster switching between graphics and physics processing, enabling more complex effects to be rendered in real time.
