Ultra-Quiet Cooling Solution

Built with a highly reliable, ultra-quiet fansink that efficiently cools the graphics without taxing the system fans resulting in a quieter desktop environment.

1GB DDR3 GPU Memory with Ultra-Fast Memory Bandwidth

Delivers high throughput needed to interact with large textured models or display an HD video on each of the display outputs.

Compatibility with Industry-Standard Architectures

Compatible with x86 32 and 64-bit microprocessor architectures and operating systems from Intel/AMD and Microsoft/Linux.

NVIDIA nView Desktop Software

Delivers maximum flexibility for single large-display or multi-display options. This provides unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience for increased productivity.

Low-Profile and Flexible Form Factor

Simplifies IT administration and deployment throughout an enterprise. Regardless of desktop system (standard tower PC, workstation, small form factor system) or the display type (LCD, DLP, plasma), NVS 315 fits into any existing installations without being disruptive.

NVIDIA Enterprise Management Tools

Exhaustive Enterprise Management tools for maximizing your system uptime by enabling seamless wide scale deployment. Allows remote query and control of graphics and display settings for systems spread across installations.

Multi-Display Experience with NVIDIA Mosaic Technology

Enables seamless taskbar spanning as well as transparent scaling of any application across up to eight displays and works over multiple displays or one ultra-high resolution display using a single or multiple NVS graphics cards. Mosaic Technology is supported in Win 7, Win 8 and Linux only.

Versatile Display Connectivity Options

Provides a means to connect into the most exhaustive options of display technologies in a low-profile graphics card through low-cost DMS-59 cable adaptors (includes DMS-59 to dual DVI-I SL adapter and two DVI to VGA adapters).
