OVERVIEW
THE DEFINITION OF PERFORMANCE. THE STANDARD FOR QUALITY.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX family of professional GPU's (graphics processing units)
delivers fast application performance and the highest quality professional graphics.
In addition to performance and quality, NVIDIA Quadro FX takes the leading computer-
aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC) applications to a new level
of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and
precision. NVIDIA Quadro FX allows styling and production rendering to become
integral functions of the design workflow, thereby shortening the production
process and enabling faster time to market.

KEY FEATURES
& BENEFITS
NVIDIA QUADRO FX ARCHITECTURE ACHIEVES UNPRECEDENTED
PERFORMANCE
Takes application performance to new levels by featuring
three parallel vertex engines, a radically new line engine,
the industry's first on-chip vertex cache, and eight fully
programmable pixel pipelines coupled to a high-speed DDR
graphics DRAM bus.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMABILITY EMPOWERS
A NEW CLASS OF APPLICATIONS
The programmability of the NVIDIA Quadro FX architecture
empowers the industry's leading OpenGL® and DirectX®
workstation applications to now make the production rendering
process an integral part of real-time design. This reduces
design cycles, increases productivity, and accelerates
time-to-market.
FULL 128-BIT FLOATING-POINT
PRECISION DELIVERS THE INDUSTRY'S HIGHEST WORKSTATION
QUALITY
The NVIDIA Quadro FX, features 128-bit IEEE floating-point
precision, making available millions of colors in a broad
dynamic range. This results in the highest level of accuracy
and the ultimate in visual quality.
CERTIFIED FOR THE HIGHEST QUALITY
EXPERIENCE WITH THE MOST DEMANDING WORKSTATION APPLICATIONS
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. |
