UNIFIED SOFTWARE ENVIRONMENT

Today’s graphics processing units (GPUs) and media and

communications processors (MCPs) are highly sophisticated and

complex processors, and when combined they enable a high-

performance computing platform. It takes a powerful suite of

software to complement these innovative processors.

The NVIDIA® ForceWare™ unified software environment (USE)

unleashes the full power of, and delivers a complete set of

features for NVIDIA desktop, platform, mobile, and multimedia

products and is proven to deliver unmatched compatibility,

reliability, and stability with the widest range of games and

applications. ForceWare ensures the best out of box experience

for every user by delivering industry-leading features for

graphics, audio, video, communications, storage, and security;

one driver for all products; and continual performance and

feature updates over the life of the product.

ForceWare provides a host of complementary software features

for NVIDIA hardware, designed to increase productivity,

stability, and multimedia functionality. From the productivity

tools of the NVIDIA® nView™ desktop management software to

the NVIDIA personal video recorder (PVR) and DVD functionality

of the ForceWare Multimedia application, ForceWare solutions

ensure that you maximize your NVIDIA hardware investment.

UNIFIED DRIVER ARCHITECTURE

The NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) is the foundation

for NVIDIA’s award-winning graphics and platform drivers and

delivers forward-and-backward compatibility across all

implementations of NVIDIA desktop, mobile, platform, and

multimedia processors. With a single UDA driver across your

enterprise, only one driver has to be managed, configured, and

installed. In addition, UDA provides ongoing performance and

feature improvements, reduced maintenance time, increased

scalability, and a lower total cost of ownership.
