Until the advent of the TNT by NVIDIA, ELSA products were targeted to a select few: those with professional graphics in mind. By appealing to 3D gamers, the TNT provided a larger customer base for ELSA to target. ELSA, a German based company, has continued this tradition of mixing professional graphics products with higher end gaming cards, a attribute that can be seen with their current range of products. With the production of the ELSA ERAZOR X, ELSA has once again created a niche for itself in the 3D graphics market by applying the newest NVIDIA chipset, the GeForce, to produce a quality 3D gaming card.

| Single Chip GPU: (Graphics Processing Unit) |
| On-chip integration of the entire 3D pipeline (Transformation, lighting, setup, and rendering) |
| Independent Pipeline Quad Engine: |
| Separate engines for transformation, lighting, setup and delivers 15 million triangles per second. |
| Allows application to represent 3D characters and environments with the highest degree of complexity possible. |
| 256 - Bit Quad Pipe Rendering engine: |
| Four independent pixel- rendering pipelines deliver up to 480 million 8- sample fully filtered pixels per second. |
| Guarantees highest color quality and texturing special effects at maximum frame rate. |
| 350 MHz RAMDAC: |
| Delivers the clearest, sharpest, most solid image quality at 1900 x 1440 resolution at 85Hz. |
| Integrated Transforms and Lighting |
| Delivers 2 -4 times the triangle rate for the 2 - 4 times more detailed 3D scenes. |
| Frees up CPU computations for physics and artificial intelligent (AI) which results in more realistic object behaviors and character animation. |
