For those who haven't been paying close attention to video-card advancements over the last year or so though, it is worth pointing out the interesting in-game features that Nvidia has offered up along with its latest cards.

They mention that it runs all graphics card intensive games at 1080p above 60fps, and is absolutely perfect for gaming on max settings.You can quickly size up your PC, identify hardware problems and explore the best value for money upgrades. This sounds unlikely to me, as it would be easier to just program the curve in % and be done with it. But for many applications, it's a far more "practical" card, if one can say that about a piece of hardware meant for playing demanding PC games.

There's no way of knowing how widespread the adoption of a given new feature will be (unless it's something obvious and universal, such as DirectX 12). If yours is similar, then you will have no worries (I always wondered what that extra little 2-pin lead attached to the 6-pin lead was for!
