Features
Benefits
512 MB GDDR3 GPU Memory with
Ultra-Fast Memory Bandwidth
Delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and
high-performance for real time processing of large textures and frames and
enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing (FSAA).
30-Bit Color Fidelity
30-Bit color fidelity (10 bits per color) enables billions rather than millions of
color variations for rich, vivid image quality with the broadest dynamic range.
NVIDIA Unified GPU Architecture
Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically
allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing
power to deliver optimized GPU performance.
NVIDIA CUDA Architecture
NVIDIA
®
CUDA
™
is a revolutionary parallel computing architecture for
Quadro professional GPUs enabling breakthrough performance in areas
such as video encoding, image processing, and accurate physics.
PCI Express 2.0 Compliant
Doubles the data transfer rate up to 5 GT/sec per lane for an aggregate
bandwidth of 16 GB/sec bi-directional (8 GB/sec in each direction).
Dual DisplayPort Digital Display Connectors
Dual DisplayPort connectors support ultra-high-resolution
panels (up to 2560 x 1600), which results in amazing image
quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
