- As PC applications become increasingly visual, many typical applications benefit from the graphics horsepower provided by a GeForce GPU, including editing photos, running Windows Vista, or encoding and playing high-definition videos through the use of applications like Elemental Technologies’ BadaBoom.
- GeForce 9 Series GPUs can also power applications that take advantage of the GPU for nongraphical computational tasks. For example, consumers today can use their GeForce 9 Series GPUs to run applications such as Folding@home and join online protein folding teams to help find cures for diseases such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s.
