NVIDIA CUDA technology unlocks the power of the hundreds of cores in your NVIDIA GeForce graphics processor (GPU) to accelerate every day applications beyond gaming. NVIDIA CUDA technology has become widely adopted by thousands of software programmers to acceleratre the most performance hungry applications. With millions of CUDA capable GPUs already deployed, thousands of software programmers and leading universities around the world are already using CUDA software to redefine the capabilities of the PC.
		Delivering Physics in games is no easy task. It's and extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous ammounts of similtaneous calculations. The best way to get real time physics , such as explosions that cause dust and debris, characters with life-like motion or cloth that drapes and tears naturally is with an NVIDIA PhysX ready GeForce processor. Already Widely adopted by over 150 games PhysX technology takes gaming to a new level.

Further equipped with 216 Stream Processor, GeForce™ GTX 260 Sonic, the overclocking edition, is to provide ultimate gaming and home entertaining experience whether it's ripping through DirectX 10 games at blazing fast frame rates, experiencing a new world of realistic physical motion and massively destructible environment, transcoding HD video to you portable video player, or helping discover a cure for cancer via Folding@home, you can put your PC to work for you with the power of the NVIDIA® GeForce™ GTX 260 GPUs.
