History
PredecessorRankine
SuccessorTesla

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 Polish physicist Marie Salomea Skłodowska–Curie and used with the GeForce 6 and 7 series. Curie was followed by Tesla.

Graphics features

The lack of unified shaders makes DirectX 9.0c the last supported version of DirectX for GPUs based on this microarchitecture.[6]
