Quadro FX 1700M

• NVIDIA Unified Architecture
  Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance.
• Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability with Shader Model 4.0
  Reference standard for shader model 4.0 enabling a higher level of performance and ultra-realistic effects for OpenGL and next generation DirectX 10 industry-leading professional applications.
• Fast 3D Textures
  Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset.
• NVIDIA® CUDA™ Parallel Computing Processor
  A parallel computing processor architecture exposed through a C language environment and tool suite in combination with high performance visualization, CUDA unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing, video encoding, and interactive volume rendering.
• Built for Microsoft® Windows Vista™
  Offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased application performance, and the highest image quality, NVIDIA Quadro graphics boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers are optimized for 32- and 64-bit architectures to enable the Windows Vista experience.
• NVIDIA® PureVideo® HD Technology
  Powerful combination of complete high-definition video decode acceleration and advanced post-processing (scaling, de-interlacing, color correction) that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for the latest HD Video content playback on your PC.
• NVIDIA® PowerMizer® 8.0 Technology
  The eighth generation of NVIDIA’s advanced hardware power management technology intelligently adaptively reduces the notebook power consumption and heat generation for the graphics subsystem, thereby enabling a truly mobile, cool and uncompromised user experience.
• 12-Bit Subpixel Precision
  3x that of the nearest competitive workstation graphics, 12-bit sub-pixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
• 32-Bit Floating Point Precision
  Sets the standards for image clarity and quality through 32-bit floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
• Cg High-Level Graphics Shader Language
  Cg—“C” for graphics—is a high-level, open-standard programming language for OpenGL that takes advantage of the power of programmable GPUs. NVIDIA Quadro® FX programmable graphics pipelines leverage high-level shading languages to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes, and designs. This represents a major leap forward in ease and speed for the creation of real-time, realistic graphics within MCAD, DCC, and scientific applications.
• Full 128-Bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
  Enables sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component (RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range.
• Hardware 3D Window Clipping
  Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) which improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer.
• NVIDIA High Precision, Dynamic-Range Technology
  Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
• NVIDIA Quadro Unified Memory Architecture
  Allows for superior memory management, which efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between concurrent graphics windows and applications.
• Rotated-Grid Full-Scene Antialiasing (RG FSAA)
  The rotated grid FSAA sampling algorithm introduces far greater sophistication in the sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing “jaggies” while maintaining performance.
• Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
  The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.
