KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Proven Professional Graphics Architecture
Parallel vertex engines, programmable pixel pipelines, and workstation specific features result in the industry's highest application performance and quality.
Advanced Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects and surface properties.
Full 128-bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Enables mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality.
12-bit Subpixel Precision
3x that of the nearest competitive professional graphics, 12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
PCI Express Support
Designed specifically to take advantage of the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfers.
Unified Driver Architecture
Provides easy installation and manageability through a single unified driver for large scale system deployment. The performance and power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX are built on a solid foundation of quality engineering. This engineering excellence is exemplified by the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), which is certified for quality by the entire spectrum of CAD and DCC applications.
