PNY VCQFX540-PCIE-PB Overview

The nVidia Quadro FX 540 PCI Express Display Card from PNY Technologies provides digital content professionals and engineers robust, programmable performance. Based upon the nVidia NV43GL processor, this graphics accelerator features 12-bit sub-pixel precision, 128MB of Double Data Rate memory, 128-bit full floating point accuracy and 128-bit high-bandwidth memory architecture that delivers powerful performance for even the most complex simulations and graphics applications.

In addition, the Quadro FX 540 processor is programmable via the CG programming language for OpenGL which enables developers and programmers to create real-time photo-realistic effects into their 3-D models, scenes and designs, and extensive vertex and pixel programmability which drives real-time shaders that can simulate advanced 3-D physical effects. Unified Memory Architecture efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between graphics windows and applications that are running concurrently.

Users can greatly improve their productivity via Multidisplay technology which enables fast and easy control of multiple monitors with savable display setting profiles.

Fast, Programmable Performance for Engineers and Digital Content Providers
The Quadro FX 540 features 12-bit sub-pixel precision, 128MB of DDR memory, and 128-bit full floating point accuracy that delivers fast, programmable performance for engineers, digital content authors and scientists at an affordable price.
CG High-Level Graphics Shader Language
nVidia's Quadro FX 540's processor is programmable (CG programming language for OpenGL), enabling developers and programmers to create real-time photo-realistic effects into their 3-D models, scenes and designs.
Next-Generation Vertex & Pixel Programmability
nVidia's extensive vertex and pixel programmability drives real-time shaders that can simulate advanced 3-D physical effects (fresnel effects, chromatic dispersion, reflection, refraction) and surface properties (casting effects, porosity, and molded surfaces).
nVidia Quadro Unified Memory Architecture
nVidia's Unified Memory Architecture efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between graphics windows and applications that are running concurrently.
nVidia ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
nVidia's ForceWare Unified Driver Architecture decreases the need for maintenance time and the total cost of ownership. Only one driver has to be managed, configured, and installed. The Unified driver is available for both current and new operating systems, including Windows 64-bit, Linux and FreeBSD.
nVidia nView Multidisplay Technology
nVidia's nView Multidisplay technology enables fast and easy control of multiple monitors with savable display setting profiles, on-screen setup, display grid lines for dividing the monitor into separate regions, mouse kinematics which allows easy clean-up of the desktop and switching between multiple desktops, desktop management control and QuickZoom, which enables the user to zoom in on any part of their desktop by pressing a single hot key.
