The CUDA technology that is supported by these cards transforms them into a high-performance processor capable of speeding up video encoding tasks and complex mathematical calculations. The NVIDIA PhysX technology empowers the ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO series with realistic physics capabilities, providing real-time physics calculations for realistic visual and environmental interaction effects.
Like other NVIDIA chips, the 9600 supports PureVideo HD technology for playback of high definition content. PureVideo HD also enhances standard definition video content to near high-definition levels of visual quality, for a near-HD visual experience with existing content.
