PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
NV15 features NVIDIA s 2nd-generation 4 x 4 architecture with NVIDIA's new Hypertexel T M pipeline. Each of the four new Hypertexel pipelines now processes two textures per clock, in life-like 32-bit color , at full speed. The 2nd-generation 4 x 4 tranform and lighting architecture also delivers 20+ Million triangles/sec transformed and lit, allowing even more stunning visuals and realism. Integrated transform and lighting (T&L) propels graphics performance to new heights, and also frees up a significant amounts of C P U processing power, allowing the host computer to focus the non-graphics aspects of 3D applications such as more realistic physics calculations, better artificial intelligence (AI) and network multiplayer functionality.

NV15's integrated HDTV processor supports all ATSC resolutions at their specified frame rates.
When combined with a high performance, high level software Mpeg-2 decoder, and a Digital TV receiver, NV15 delivers a cost effective, high quality HDTV playback solution. NV15 offers industry-leading, breakthrough 2D and 3D performance, and trend-setting video processing capabilities for full frame rate on all HDTV and DVD resolutions. 
In addition, NV15 enables ground-breaking new applications like time shifting and digital VCR capabilities. NV15 is the most complete DX7 hardware implementation and meets all the requirements of the mainstream PC graphics market, including Microsoft's PC00, PC99 and PC99a initiatives.
NV15 delivers the industry s fastest Direct3D and OpenGL acceleration solution and continues
NVIDIA's tradition of providing leadership, single-chip, integrated VGA, 2D, 3D and video
performance enabling a range of applications from 3D games to HDTV, DVD, and video
conferencing.
