OVERVIEW
NVIDIA QUADRO FX ARCHITECTURE ACHIEVES UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE
Featuring the industry’s first top-to-bottom family
of PCI Express™ products targeted for professional CAD,
DCC, and Scientific applications, NVIDIA Quadro FX ushers
in a new era of unprecedented performance, programmability,
precision and quality.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX architecture takes application
performance to new levels by featuring an array of parallel
vertex engines, a radically new line engine and fully
programmable pixel pipelines coupled to a high-speed
graphics DRAM bus. Pipeline efficiency is further multiplied
by NVIDIA’s next-generation crossbar memory architecture,
enabling occlusion-culling, lossless depth Z-buffer,
and color compression.
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.
High Precision Dynamic Range Imaging (HPDR)
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. Support for 32-bit floating
point precision per component – an industry exclusive.
Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Greater than 1.0GB/sec. pixel read-back performance
delivers massive host throughput, more than 5x the performance
of previous generation graphics systems.
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.
