"Graphics cards aren't just for gaming anymore. In addition to ripping through DirectX 10 games at blazing fast frame rates, the BFG GeForce GTX 200 series graphics cards give end user systems the power of up to 240 multi-threaded processor cores-offloading the most intensive processing tasks from the CPU to the GPU with unprecedented efficiency."
