All About The "O"
The moniker “KO Edition” indicates that this video card is very highly factory
overclocked. EVGA has taken the GeForce 8800 GTS GPU and equipped it with 640MB
of GDDR3, increased the GPU core speed from 500MHz to 540MHz, and increased
the memory frequency from 1.60GHz (effective) to 1.70GHz (effective).
Knowledge
Before You Buy! Make sure your motherboard is
compatible with this video card. For example, PCI Express video cards won't
work with motherboards designed only for AGP or PCI video cards, and vice
versa. Please read the specifications carefully or call us for expert advice.
CHECK THE SPECS: • Interface Type: PCI Express x16

Spatial-Temporal De-Interlacing
Sharpens HD and standard definition interlaced content on progressive
displays, delivering a crisp, clear picture that rivals high-end home-theater
systems.
High-Quality Scaling
Enlarges lower resolution movies and videos to HDTV resolutions, up to
1080i, while maintaining a clear, clean image. Also provides downscaling
of videos, including high-definition, while preserving image detail.
Inverse Telecine (3:2 & 2:2 Pulldown
Correction)
Recovers original film images from films-converted-to-video, providing
more accurate movie playback and superior picture quality.
Bad Edit Correction
When videos are edited after they have been converted from 24 to 25 or
30 frames, the edits can disrupt the normal 3:2 or 2:2 pulldown cadence.
PureVideo uses advanced processing techniques to detect poor edits, recover
the original content, and display perfect picture detail frame after frame
for smooth, natural looking video.

What
is SLI Technology?
NVIDIA® SLI™ technology is a revolutionary platform innovation that allows
you to intelligently scale graphics performance by combining multiple
NVIDIA graphics solutions in a single system with an NVIDIA nForce® SLI
media and communications processor (MCP).
How Does SLI Technology Work?
Using proprietary software algorithms and dedicated scalability logic
in each NVIDIA graphics processing unit (GPU) and MCP, NVIDIA SLI technology
delivers up to twice the performance of a single graphics solution.
SLI GPU Graphics Cards NVIDIA SLI GPUs deliver powerful, elegant and super-rich graphics
for games and other graphics-intensive applications. Combining two NVIDIA
SLI-Ready certified graphics cards (with the same GPU) in a single system
with an nForce SLI MCP results in up to double the graphics performance. NVIDIA SLI-Ready GPUs feature dedicated, built-in SLI hardware logic
and take advantage of the additional bandwidth of the PCI Express bus
architecture. Connected by the SLI connector (which ships with all SLI-Ready
motherboards), each GPU has a maximized connection pathway, and can leverage
the second card for reaching top-speed performances. SLI Technology can
scale both geometry and fill rate performance for multiple GPUs and output
in both digital and analog formats for the highest image quality.
