Extreme High Definition, or XHD, is a term coined by Nvidia and Dell at the Consumer Electronics Show 2006 to emphasize gaming at resolutions higher than high definition. The term was created as a marketing term for Nvidia's Quad SLI setup and Dell's 3007WFP monitor. According to Nvidia, XHD is achieved by using one or two dual-link DVI ports. This higher bandwidth allows the cards to reach a maximum resolution of 2560×1600 (WQXGA). The resolutions 1920×1200 and 1680×1050 are also classed as XHD resolutions, even though they do not match the XHD specification of 4×1080i/2×1080p stated on the XHD site.
