Curie is the codename for a GPU microarchitecture developed by Nvidia, and released in 2004, as the successor to Rankine[1] microarchitecture. It was named with reference to the French physicist Marie Curie and used with the GeForce 6 and 7 series. Curie was followed by Tesla.

Graphics Features[]

Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (DirectX 10 mini).
