Geforce 9600GT Chipset Features

• HDMI with Audio Integration Solution (Optional)
  The NVIDIA GeForce9 Series graphics card supports HDMI with audio integration solution. With a DVI-to-HDMI adapter and an extra signal cord through the bracket, audio source from sound card(S/PDIF) can be integrated into HDMI interface by simply plugging the cord into the pinhead located on graphics card. Only 1 single HDMI cable is required while streaming audio/video data to flat-panel display devices, such as Plasma/LCD TVs, or projector.
  
  *The shipping version DVI-to-HDMI adapter may differ.
  
  

   
• NVIDIA unified architecture
  Fully unified shader core dynamically allocates processing power to geometry, vertex, physics, or pixel shading operation, delivering up to 2x the gaming performance of prior generation GPUs.
