• Essential 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.
• Fast 3D Texture Transfer
  Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset.
• Frame Synchronization
  Allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, thus creating one large "virtual display" that can be driven by a multisystem cluster for performance scalability.
• Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
  Up to 32x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or “jaggies,” resulting in highly realistic scenes.
• External Synchronization
  Also known as "house sync." External Synchronization allows the graphics output to synchronized to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.
• NVIDIA ® CUDA™
  A C language environment and tool suite in combination with high performance visualization unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing and interactive volume rendering.
• NVIDIA Graphics API Extensions
  NVIDIA provides a set of extensions to standard graphics APIs for Linux and Windows, enabling applications to take maximum advantage of state-of-the-art GPU capabilities.
• 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.
• Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
  Up to 2.4GB/sec pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput.
• Highest Workstation Application Performance
  Next-generation architecture enables over 2x improvement in geometry and fill rates with the industry’s highest performance for professional CAD, DCC, and scientific applications.
• High-Performance Display Outputs
  400MHz RAMDACs and up to two dual-link DVI digital connectors drive the highest resolution digital displays available on the market.
• 8K Texture and Render Processing

  PureVideo technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include, high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from DVD.
• NVIDIA Unified Architecture
  Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance.
• NVIDIA® nView® Multi-Display Technology
  The nView hardware and software technology combination delivers maximum flexibility for multi-display options, and provides unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience. NVIDIA GPUs are designed to support multi-displays, but graphics cards vary. Please verify multi-display support in the graphics card before purchasing.
• PCI Express Certified
  PCI Express is an Intel bus architecture that doubles the bandwidth of the AGP 8X bus, delivering greater than 2GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers.
• Powerwall
  NVIDIA's patented single-system powerwall technology allows any application to be projected on a dual-channel powerwall with sophisticated edge blending in order to achieve uniform luminosity. Powerwall works transparently with any application.
• Quad Buffered Stereo
  Offers enhanced visual experience for professional applications that demand stereo viewing capability.
• 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.
• NVIDIA® SLI® Technology
  A revolutionary platform innovation that enables professional users to dynamically scale graphics performance, enhance image quality, and expand display real estate.
• Dual Dual-Link Digital Display Connectors
  Dual dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 3840 x 2400 @ 24Hz on each panel) --which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
• Single DisplayPort Digital Display Connectors
  DisplayPort support ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 2560 x 1600)-which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
• Ultra quiet design
  Acoustics lower than most desktops at sub 40db for a quiet desktop environment.
• Compatible with Industry Standard Architectures
  Compatible with x86 32 and 64-bit microprocessor architectures and operating systems from Intel/AMD and Microsoft/Linux.
• 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.
