OVERVIEW
NVIDIA QUADRO FX ARCHITECTURE ACHIEVES UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE
Designed for entry-level professional 3D applications, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 by PNY, featuring a HDTV 10-pin connector, deliver features and value without compromising on quality, precision, performance, and programmability. The NVIDIA Quadro FX entry-level GPUs provide advanced features and benefits found in the Quadro FX family, ranging from a 128-bit floating point graphics pipeline and 12-bit subpixel precision, to Quadro memory management and many more. Enabled by the NVIDIA gold-standard Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), the NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 by PNY is certified on a wide set of CAD, DCC, and scientific visualization applications, offering the value and capabilities workstation users expect.

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.
