Features
Benefits
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 NVIDIA Quadro
GPUs enabling breakthrough performance in areas such as such as interactive
ray tracing, finite element analysis, and computational fluid dynamics.
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.
Fully Virtualized Workstation
NVIDIA SLI Multi OS enables multiple Windows or Linux workstation environments from
a single system featuring dual Quadro FX 3800 graphics boards, with each operating
system directly assigned to a Quadro FX 3800 GPU. Professional applications take
full advantage of Quadro GPU accelerated features on both operating systems.
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).
Quad Buffered Stereo
Offers enhanced visual experience for professional applications
that demand stereo viewing capability.
Wide Range of Display Support Options
Provides customers with a wide range of display options ranging from DisplayPort,
DVI dual link and Stereo to HDMI and VGA support through adaptors. DisplayPort
and DVI connectors support ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz),
which results in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
Uncompressed 8-, 10-, or
12-Bit SDI Output*
Enables on-air broadcast, video production and post production professionals
to composite and output live video and graphics to true, uncompressed
12-bit SDI in 2k, SD, or HD resolutions and allows direct connection
to a broadcast monitor, switcher, tape deck, or SDI projector.
*Need NVIDIA Quadro SDI Output option card.
