Features & Benefits

Genlock/Frame lock Extensions
NVIDIA provides a set of SDI API extensions for Linux and Windows, enabling applications to take maximum advantage of the hardware's capabilities.

	12-Bit Subpixel Precision 3x that of the nearest competitive workstation graphics, 12-bit sub-pixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating sparkles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
	256-Bit Memory Interface Delivers the industry’s highest memory bandwidth (up to 38.4GB/sec) for blistering data transfer. Supports the world’s fastest GDDR3 memory with lower power consumption than previous generation systems.
	Advanced Color Compression, Early Z-Cull Improved pipeline color compression and early z-culling to increase effective bandwidth and improve rendering efficiency and performance.
	AGP 8X Provides double the bandwidth of AGP 4X—2.1GB/sec. vs. 1.1GB/sec. AGP 8X enables more complex models and detailed textures, creating richer and more lifelike environments. Uninterrupted data flow allows for smoother video streaming and faster, more seamless gameplay. (AGP 8X/4X compliant)
	Genlock/Frame lock Extensions NVIDIA provides a set of SDI API extensions for Linux and Windows, enabling applications to take maximum advantage of the hardware's capabilities.
	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.
	Frame Lock
	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.
	Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA) Up to 16x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or “jaggies” at resolutions up to 1920x1200, resulting in highly realistic scenes.
	Genlock
	Hardware 3D Window Clipping Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) improves overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer.
	Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back Greater than 1GB/sec. pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput, more than 5x the performance of previous generation graphics systems.
	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 dual DVI digital connectors drive the highest resolution digital displays available on the market.
	Next-Generation Vertex & Pixel Programmability The NVIDIA Quadro FX ultra-high-end and high-end GPUs introduce infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous limits on complexity, and structure of shader programs. Full support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0 delivers sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.
	NVIDIA Quadro Unified Memory Architecture Allows for superior memory management, which efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between concurrent graphics windows and applications.
	PCI Express Certified Designed to run perfectly with the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8x delivering over 4GB/s 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. This feature is supported in the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400G, 4000, 3400, 3000G, 3000, and 1100 models.
	Proven Workstation Graphics Architecture The NVIDIA Quadro FX architecture takes application performance to new levels by featuring parallel vertex engines, a radically new line engine, the industry’s first on-chip vertex cache, and fully programmable pixel pipelines coupled to a high-speed graphics DDR DRAM bus.
	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.
	Quad Buffered Stereo Offers enhanced visual experience for professional applications that demand stereo viewing capability.
	Dual Dual-Link Digital Display Connectors Dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra-high-resolution panels--which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
