NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M

The NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M series of graphics cards for notebook computers features NVIDIA’s Optimus Technology, which is advertised to extend and enhance battery life. The card also features support for quad-core processors and Microsoft DirectX 11 with Shader Model 5.0. It is also NVIDIA 3D Vision Ready, which means that it can display supported games in full stereoscopic 3D. In addition to games, even 3D Blu-Ray movies and 3D photos can be displayed properly by this card. Further enhancements to gaming is provided by the built-in NVIDIA’s PhysX technology. The card has a 128-bit memory interface width as well as memory bandwidth of 28.8 GB per second.

Another feature of this card is support for NVIDIA CUDA Technology. Compute Unified Device Architecture or CUDA is a parallel computing architecture that has many advantages, including scattered reads, which allows code to be read from random memory addresses, as well as shared memory, which allows for higher bandwidth. Outside of gaming, CUDA is also used in a variety of industries like computational biology and cryptography. In addition to CUDA, the card also makes use of Microsoft DirectX 11, which allows programmers to develop games that can make full use of multi-core processors. Features like Shader Model 5.0 and Hardware Tessellation need hardware that support DirectX 11.
