NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 by PNY Technologies Professional Video Edition graphics boards feature uncompromised performance, programmability, and video output flexibility at an entry-level price for professional CAD, visualization, and DCC applications such as NLE.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 by PNY Professional Video Edition delivers cost-effective solutions for professional 3D environments without compromising on quality, precision, performance, and programmability. Advanced features include a 128-bit floating point graphics pipeline, 12-bit subpixel precision, fast GDDR3 memory, and HD output. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 Professional Video Edition is certified on a wide set of CAD, DCC, and visualization applications, offering the value and capabilities professional users expect. The FX 560 supports one dual-link DVI output and one single-link DVI output, and the included PNY Technologies Professional Video Breakout Box enables simultaneous connection to HD or SD component, S-Video, or composite video displays, making the NVIDIA Quadro FX 560 by PNY Professional Video Edition a must have for any video editing solution.

Key Features and Benefits

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 visualization applications.

Unmatched Color Precision
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.

Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability
NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs introduce infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous limits on complexity and structure of shader programs. With full support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0, NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs deliver sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.

Unparalleled Subpixel Precision
12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.

Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Greater than 2.4GB/Sec., pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughout, more than 10x the performance of previous generation graphics systems.

Rotated Grid Full Screen Antialiasing (RG FSAA)
RG 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.

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.

NVIDIA PureVideo Technology
NVIDIA PureVideo technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from DVD.

Integrated HD Component, S-Video and Composite Video Output
7-pin HD out connector and the PNY Technologies Professional Video Breakout Box provide graphics to HD component video (YPrPB), S-Video, or composite video out to enable real-time output to HD broadcast monitors, video recorders, or other video peripherals - enhancing the capabilities of nearly any 3D design, DCC, video editing, medical imaging, or visual simulation application.
Supported video formats include:

  • Component mode: YPrPB - SMPTE 1080i, 720p, 480p, 576p
  • Composite mode: NTCS/PAL 480i, 576i
