"NVIDIA GeForce FX provides us with a state-of-the-art platform that allows us to create the kind of exciting new visual effects and innovative features we could only imagine before," said Warren Spector, Studio Director at Ion Storm. "We have a clear vision for Deus Ex and NVIDIA has played an integral role in helping us realize that vision by providing the team with a terrific platform for development. But, even more important to all of us at Ion Storm, NVIDIA has provided a platform that allows gamers to experience Deus Ex exactly the way we intended." Deus Ex takes advantage of GeForce FX features to deliver a dynamic first-person action/adventure experience with unprecedented levels of realism and immersion. Deus Ex places gamers at the heart of an intensely visual post-apocalyptic world, brought to life in vivid detail through dynamic real-time lighting, shadowing, and advanced rendering techniques.

The award-winning GeForce FX family of GPUs, which includes the GeForce FX 5200, 5600, and 5900 models, are designed to address a full range of price and performance levels, all sharing the same cinematic computing feature set, including the NVIDIA CineFX architecture with advanced vertex and pixel shaders for stunning special effects. The GeForce FX family of desktop graphics processors is supported by the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)-the industry's only true binary-compatible software architecture, guaranteeing software compatibility and stability, enabling the industry's most reliable graphics platform.
