GPU Features

Next-Generation nVIDIA CUDA Architecture

Breakthrough nVIDIA Fermi architecture incorporates CUDA parallel computing capabilities and advanced visualization to deliver performance that greatly accelerates professional workflows.

nVIDIA Scalable Geometry Engine

Scalable engines dramatically improve geometry performance across a broad range of CAD, DCC and medical applications, enabling you to work interactively with models and scenes that are an order of magnitude more complex than ever before.

Large Framebuffers with Ultra-Fast Bandwidth

Large GPU memory with fast bandwidth accelerates the display of complex models and scenes, allowing you to perform complex computation on large datasets.

nVIDIA Parallel DataCache

Parallel DataCache supports a true cache hierarchy combined with on-chip shared memory. L1 and L2 caches drive exceptional throughput, accelerating features such as real-time ray tracing, physics and texture filtering.

nVIDIA GigaThread Engine

The GigaThread Engine provides up to ten times faster context switching compared to previous generation architectures, concurrent kernel execution, and improved thread block scheduling.

Fast 3D Texture Transfer

Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures results in more interactive visualization of large volumetric datasets.

Hardware 3D Window Clipping

Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between the color buffer and frame buffer.

Image Quality

Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)

Up to 64x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies," resulting in unparalleled image quality and highly realistic scenes.

GPU Tessellation with Shader Model 5.0

Quadro Tessellation Engine automatically generates finely detailed geometry, for cinematic quality environments and scenes, without sacrificing performance.

16K Texture and Render Processing

The card boasts the ability to texture from and render to 16K x 16K surfaces -- beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing.

nVIDIA High Precision High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology

The Quadro sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. It enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.

Display Features

High-Quality Display Connectors

Use the card to drive ultra-high-resolution panels, producing phenomenal photorealistic image quality from a range of display connectors. It support two active connectors including, dual-link DVI with up to 3840 x 2400 at 24Hz on each panel, DisplayPort with up to up to 2560 x 1600, or HDMI for integrated audio and video through the GPU.

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.

OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo Support

OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo offers professional applications the capability of smooth and immersive 3D Stereo experience.

3D Stereo Synchronization

Use 3D Stereo Synchronization to enable robust control of the stereo effect through a dedicated 3-pin mini-din connection between the graphics card and 3D stereo hardware. It is supported via an optional 3-pin mini-din connector.

Software Support

Programming the CUDA Parallel Computing Architecture

CUDA allows for general purpose GPU computing using standard programming languages like C/C++ and Fortran, and emerging APIs such as OpenCL and Direct Compute. This broad adoption of CUDA is accelerating techniques like ray tracing, video and image processing, and computation fluid dynamics.

Cg Programming

The programmable GPU leverages Cg high-level, open-standard shading language to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes and designs.

Accelerated Performance for Microsoft Windows Professional Applications

Experience native Quadro GPU accelerated 3D graphics performance and features when using Apple Boot Camp.

Industry Standard

PCI Express 2.0 Compliant

PCI Express 2.0 doubles the data transfer rate up to 5GT/sec per lane for an aggregate bandwidth of 16GB/sec bi-directional (8GB/sec in each direction).

Ultra-Quiet Design

Feel free to use the card in sound-sensitive environments. It outputs less than 28db of noise!
