NVIDIA
QUADRO FX ARCHITECTURE ACHIEVES UNPRECEDENTED PERFORMANCE
Featuring the industry’s first top-to-bottom family of
PCI Express™ products targeted for professional CAD, DCC,
and Scientific applications, NVIDIA Quadro FX ushers in a new
era of unprecedented performance, programmability, precision
and quality.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX architecture takes application performance
to new levels by featuring an array of parallel vertex engines,
a radically new line engine and fully programmable pixel pipelines
coupled to a high-speed graphics DRAM bus. Pipeline efficiency
is further multiplied by NVIDIA’s next-generation crossbar
memory architecture, enabling occlusion-culling, lossless depth
Z-buffer, and color compression.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Proven Professional Graphics Architecture
Parallel vertex engines, programmable pixel pipelines, and
workstation specific features result in the industry's highest
application performance and quality.
Advanced Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical
effects and surface properties.
Full 128-bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Enables mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy,
resulting in unmatched visual quality.
12-bit Subpixel Precision
3x that of the nearest competitive professional graphics,
12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy,
eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
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. Support for 32-bit floating point precision per
component – an industry exclusive.
Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Greater than 1.0GB/sec. pixel read-back performance delivers
massive host throughput, more than 5x the performance of previous
generation graphics systems.
PCI Express Support
Designed specifically to take advantage of the next-generation
PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth
of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB per second in both upstream
and downstream data transfers.
Unified Driver Architecture
Provides easy installation and manageability through a single
unified driver for large scale system deployment. The performance
and power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX are built on a solid foundation
of quality engineering. This engineering excellence is exemplified
by the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), which is
certified for quality by the entire spectrum of CAD and DCC
applications. |
