Covering all its graphics` bases

GeForce 7900 GTX, GeForce 7900 GT and GeForce 7600 GT GPUs bring extreme high-definition gaming to multiple market segments
Johannesburg, 20 Apr 2006

Leading IT infrastructure distributor, Axiz, has announced the immediate availability of the newly launched NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series 7600 GT, 7900 GT and 7900 GTX graphics processing units (GPUs).

Announced at Cebit in March, the three new additions to the NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series of GPUs are set to make extreme high-definition (HD) gaming a reality, says Axiz graphics product manager Philip Henning.

The GeForce 7900 GTX GPU - the new flagship GPU from NVIDIA - delivers blazing core clocks for ultra-fast graphics performance. The GeForce 7900 GT GPU is a new performance GPU that offers up to double the performance of NVIDIA`s last generation performance product. The GeForce 7600 GT GPU is a new mid-range GPU that is destined to inherit the unofficial title of "price/performance leader" - from the product it replaces, the GeForce 6600 GT GPU, NVIDIA says.

Boasting the renowned GeForce 7 Series features - which contributed to NVIDIA sweeping nearly every GPU product-of-the-year award from leading technology publications - the new GeForce 7900 and 7600 GPUs deliver advanced technologies, Henning says, including:

- The industry`s only GPU architecture with full support for Microsoft DirectX 9.0 Shader Model 3.0, including vertex texture fetch (VTF), which enables advanced shading programs for more realistic effects.

- H.264 hardware accelerated support through NVIDIA PureVideo technology - the combination of HD video processors and software delivers a HD home-theatre quality video experience to the PC.

- Designed for NVIDIA SLI technology - a revolutionary platform innovation that allows users to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce SLI MCP. Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic in each NVIDIA GPU and MCP, SLI technology delivers the highest performance computing solution.

- A high-performance 3D architecture built for Microsoft Windows Vista - the industry`s first operating system to require a dedicated GPU to realise its full potential.

The 7600 GT, 7900 GT, and 7900 GTX are immediately available. For more information or retail pricing, please contact Axiz on (011) 237-7000 or visit www.axiz.com.
