nVidia Quadro FX4500 PCI-E x16 Video Board
The NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4500 sets a new bar for workstation graphics, shattering the
limits of performance, programmability, precision, and quality for professional CAD,
DCC, and scientific applications.
The NVIDIA Quadro ultra-high end GPUs feature a revolutionary new architecture
with twice the geometry and fill rate, 5 times the hardware pixel read-back
performance and support up to 512MB ultra-fast GDDR3 memory.
Implementation of rotated-grid FSAA introduces far greater sophistication in the multi-
sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and the visual quality of
edges and lines without compromising performance.
Key Features and Benefits
Performance: 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 scientific
applications.
Precision: NVIDIA High-Precision Dynamic-Range (HPDR) Technology
HPDR 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.
Programmability: Next-Generation Vertex & Pixel Programmability
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4000 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 4000 GPUs deliver sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time
graphics systems.
Quality: Rotated-Grid Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
The rotated-grid 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.
