Gtr2 S Tracks. The World’s First Per-Pixel Shading GPU The GeForce2 family of performance solutions—including GeForce2 Ultra, Ti, Pro, and GTS—is the world’s first real-time per-pixel shading family of processors. Combined with NVIDIA’s second-generation transform and lighting architecture, the GeForce2 family of GPUs delivers up to 31 million triangles/sec. Transformed and lit, allowing for stunning scene realism. NVIDIA Extends Technology Lead with the Introduction of the GeForce Titanium Series SANTA CLARA, CA — OCTOBER 1, 2001 — NVIDIA® Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today announced its new GeForce Titanium series of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). The GeForce3 Ti and GeForce2 Ti series of GPUs deliver breakthrough graphics technologies, each providing unprecedented levels of performance and visual quality. These new products also utilize NVIDIA’s high-performance Detonator XP driver, incorporating special software optimizations that immediately take full advantage of the newest features of the Microsoft® Windows® XP operating system. “Today’s introduction of our GeForce Titanium series of GPUs continues our quest to deliver dramatic advances in 3D technology and cinematic-quality graphics on every PC,” stated Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO at NVIDIA.

“The GeForce Titanium Series is our most aggressive product introduction ever. We are delivering twice the performance at every price point.

We are also taking a giant step to drive NVIDIA’s ‘GeForce Shader Technology’ aggressively into the mainstream. The combination of GeForce3, Xbox, and the GeForce Titanium Series will create an installed base of NVIDIA’s GeForce Shader Technology exceeding 5 million units by early next year.

And with our patented UDA driver architecture, we’re bringing our industry recognized driver quality, stability, and application compatibility, to the XP platform. The Geforce Titanium Series will be the unambiguous graphics platform of choice of Windows XP.” The new GeForce Titanium series consists of three new products: • GeForce3 Ti 500 ― The GeForce3 Ti 500 is the world’s fastest, feature rich GPU and the flagship product of NVIDIA’s desktop graphics family.

The GeForce3 Ti 500 offers unparalleled anti-aliasing performance, 3.8 billion anti-aliased samples per second, and introduces groundbreaking new 3D graphics features to the desktop PC. • GeForce3 Ti 200 ―The GeForce3 Ti 200 is the first DirectX 8 GPU targeted at the performance mainstream market. By delivering 2.8 billion anti-aliased samples per second, the GeForce3 Ti 200 brings high-performance 3D graphics and state-of-the-art image quality to the performance-minded consumer. • GeForce2 Ti – GeForce2 Ti redefines graphics performance for mainstream computers by delivering 1 billion pixels/sec. Rendering power and delivering a groundbreaking 6.4GB/sec.

Of bandwidth for the mainstream consumer. All of the GeForce Titanium GPUs utilize the recently announced Detonator XP Unified Driver Architecture (UDA). Detonator XP includes specific technology designed to unleash the power of the highly anticipated Windows® XP operating system. It also provides performance enhancements for Windows 98, Windows 2000, and Windows Me environments. Detonator XP is available free of charge, and can be downloaded.
