GeForce GTX 280 GPU Delivers Graphics Rendering Plus PhysX, CUDA, and SLI
in New Flagship ASUS CG6155 Gaming PC
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- When ASUS
selected the NVIDIA(R) GeForce(R) GTX 280 GPU for its new CG6155 extreme
gaming machine, it wasn't simply because of its raw graphics horsepower.
Creating the best gaming PC used to be a simple matter of using CPUs and
GPUs with highest available raw power to deliver the fastest gaming
experience. But while CPU performance and raw graphics rendering are still
important, new advances in physics, multi-GPU technology, 3D stereo, and
parallel computing have amplified the importance of the GPU, making the
right GPU a critical component in consumers' buying decisions.

Featuring the award-winning GeForce GTX 280 GPU and a motherboard built
around the NVIDIA nForce(R) 790i Ultra SLI MCP platform technology, the
ASUS CG6155 gaming PC supports NVIDIA 3-way SLI(R) technology enabling ASUS
customers to equip their PC with one, two or even three GeForce GTX 280
GPUs. The CG6155 is a true "extreme gaming" machine, designed for hardcore
gaming aficionados who want the maximum visual and physics fidelity
possible.
"Our goal for the ASUS CG6155 was to give gamers unprecedented
performance and realism," says Carroll Hsieh, ASUS desktop product
management director. "With NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 280 GPUs and the nForce
790i Ultra SLI MCP we effortlessly achieved our performance goals. With
GeForce GPUs and support for things like CUDA and PhysX(TM) technologies,
we have redefined the entire gaming experience with new levels of realism.
Gamers are not going to believe their eyes."
With NVIDIA PhysX technology, GeForce GPUs bring games come to life
with explosions that cause dust and debris, characters that move with
life-like motion, or cloth that drapes and tears naturally. PhysX
technology harnesses the power of both the CPU and any NVIDIA GeForce(R) 8
Series or higher GPU, giving it the power to handle 10-20 times more visual
complexity on screen. With NVIDIA GeForce GPUs and PhysX technology, ASUS
customers can be assured of the ultimate, immersive experience.
In addition to processing graphics and physics for gaming, the new
GeForce GTX 280 GPUs also support CUDA(TM) technology for accelerating
non-gaming applications such as high-definition video playback and
transcoding, to photo processing and editing.
And soon, with a compatible monitor and stereoscopic glasses, GeForce
GPUs will be able to deliver stereoscopic gaming for over 350 existing
games, for the ultimate in immersive gaming. The first
3D-stereoscopic-compatible monitors are coming onto the market now and the
3D glasses will be available in coming months.
The ASUS CG6155 gaming PC is available now. For more information on the
