ECS GF8200A Black Motherboard Review :: ECS GF8200A Black Edition Features
SLI (Scalable Link Interface) is NVIDIA’s technology to allow two or more video cards to work together to improve performance in games and other applications. Hybrid SLI allows you to install a discrete graphics card (8400Gt/8500GT) and turn your 8200 motherboard into the equivalent of an 8600GT for the cost of the 8500GT. If you have an 8200 motherboard and an 8500GT this improves performance across the board in games and applications.
 Capacitors HybridPower is on the opposite side of the spectrum from GeForce Boost. HybridPower allows you to turn off the discrete graphics on supported graphics cards allowing the end-user to use the integrated graphics on the motherboard to save power while in operation. The currently supported video cards for Hybrid Power are: GeForce 9800GTX, 9800GTX+, GTX280 and GTX260. The amount of power saved by using Hybrid Power can be immense, as the GTX280 can draw 226W by itself. The 8200 is the first NVIDIA integrated graphics chip to fully support the DirectX 10.0 specification. DX10.0 is used in games like Crysis, Hellgate London, Age of Conan and others. With the 8200 performance being rather limited by the number of SPs, and the memory bandwidth of the memory on the board, the ECS 8200 should offer basic gaming in DirectX 10. One of the big pushes with DirectX 10.0 hardware is the ability to play back High Definition content such as Blu-Ray or HD-DVD movies without using the CPU cycles. The GeForce 8200 is capable of HD playback with its PureVideo software without issue as to playback speed. Use a slow CPU like the 4000+ and GF8200 and you can play your Blu-Ray Discs without the need for a decoder. Click Here for ECS’s webpage on the GeForce 8200A Black features.Contents:
