vis760

vis760 is a high-performance graphics processing unit (GPU) developed by NVIDIA, introduced as part of the company's GeForce 7 series in 2005. It succeeded the GeForce 6800 series and was designed to improve upon its predecessor with enhanced rendering capabilities, better memory bandwidth, and support for newer display technologies.

The vis760 GPU is based on NVIDIA's G70 architecture, which introduced several key features. It includes support for DirectX 9.0c and OpenGL 2.0, enabling advanced shading techniques such as pixel and vertex shaders of higher versions. The GPU also introduced NVIDIA's PureVideo technology, which provided hardware-accelerated decoding for MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP, and DivX/Xvid video formats, improving playback performance and reducing CPU load.

The vis760 was paired with various memory configurations, typically ranging from 256MB to 512MB of GDDR3 or GDDR4 memory, depending on the specific model. It featured a 256-bit memory interface, delivering high memory bandwidth for smoother graphical performance in games and applications. The GPU supported multiple display outputs, including Dual-Link DVI, HDMI, and DisplayPort, catering to high-resolution and multi-monitor setups.

Vis760-based graphics cards were popular among gamers and content creators during its release due to their balance of performance and affordability. However, it was eventually succeeded by NVIDIA's GeForce 8 series, which introduced PhysX support and further improvements in rendering efficiency. The vis760 remains notable for its role in advancing GPU technology during the mid-2000s.
