Full Microsoft® DirectX® 9.0 Shader Model 3.0 support:
The standard for today's PCs and next-generation consoles enables stunning and complex effects for cinematic realism.

NVIDIA GPUs provide the most complete implementation of the Shader Model 3.0 feature set including vertex texture fetch (VTF)-a key feature used in many of today's shipping games. GPUs that don't support this feature will not be able to run these games or will have to default back to Shader Model 2.0, resulting in the loss of cool effects and details made possible by Shader Model 3.0.
