                GeForce FX 5900 Ultra photo [two boards]

                Not sure about this, but the larger board has a sticker on it saying NV35GL which should be the Quadro FX 3000, yet it is showing up in all the previews as the GeForce FX 5900 Ultra.

                          NVIDIA Dusk Technology Demo Description

                          Dawn ushered in the dawn of cinematic shading with the introduction of the NVIDIA® GeForce™ FX family of GPUs. Now, her twin sister Dusk shows us what’s possible with a GeForce FX 5900 GPU.

                          An urban, moonlit street is Dusk’s stage as she relaxes to music overheard outside a nightclub. She dances to the beat, beckoning the attention of her nocturnal friends of the forest, who join her briefly before flitting off into the night.

                          Key Features:

                          • Realistic Skin: Dusk’s skin is a custom fragment shader that includes shadowing, diffuse and specular color, bump, and a simple subsurface scattering effect.

                          • Realistic Hair: Her hair is comprised entirely of geometry and is only possible due to the high-performance vertex shaders of the GeForce FX 5900 GPUs. Together, vertex and fragment shaders allow for an anisotropic lighting model, resulting in extremely realistic hair.

                            NVIDIA Last Chance Gas Technology Demo Description

                            Experience the great outdoors in this Last Chance Gas demo. Watch the sun rise and set over the desert landscape and the abandoned gas station. Walk around and practically feel the heat shimmer off the abandoned roadway, and the glare of the sun flare out over the pools of shadow with the true-to-life shadow and lighting effects. Observe the sky as it brightens, changes color, and fades with the movement of the sun, and look for changing shapes in the clouds. Equip yourself with a GeForce FX 5900 and experience interactive real-time cinematic effects for the first time at the Last Chance Gas station.

                            Key Features:

                            • Procedural sky: a fragment shader that describes the light based on sun position, haze, and other environmental factors for a more physically-based environment generates the entire sky.

                            • Realistic lighting: Global illumination combined with soft shadows provide for a more realistic lighting environment.

                            • Detail: The high performance fragment shader pipeline and vast amount of texture memory allow for a new level of detail and realism. Objects remain realistic even upon close inspection.

                              NVIDIA Vulcan Technology Demo Description

                              Vulcan, the god of fire, toils at his anvil forging the metals of the earth when one of the sparks of his forge takes flight. Angered, Vulcan attempts to crush the annoyance but it’s too quick. He chases it all around his sanctuary to no avail, as he's too slow to vanquish the pest. Tired and dizzy, Vulcan makes one last attempt to get rid of the pest, but he's overcome with fatigue and he fizzles. Experience the heat of Vulcan’s frustration first-hand with a GeForce FX 5900 GPU powering your PC.

                              Key features:

                              • Realistic fire, smoke, and glow using volumetric texturing and render-to-texture techniques

                              • Next-generation lighting and shadowing with multiple light sources

                              • Skin shader using true Blinn phong shader
