Bindless Textures

Increases the number of unique textures available to shaders at run-time, enabling vastly different materials and rich texture detail in scenes

NVIDIA SMX

Delivers processing performance and efficiency through this streaming multiprocessor design that allows a great percentage of space to be applied to processing cores versus control logic

H.264 Encoder1

Dedicated H.264 encode engine that's independent of 3D/compute pipeline and delivers faster than real-time performance for transcoding, video editing, and other encoding applications

Ultra-Quiet Design

Silent cooling design enables acoustics lower than 28db for an ultra-quiet desktop environment

Image Quality

Full-Scene Anti-aliasing (FSAA)

Up to 64x FSAA for reducing visual aliasing artifacts or jaggies, resulting in good image quality and realistic scenes

NVIDIA FXAA and TXAA

Reduces visible aliasing and delivers high image quality without the performance hit by harnessing the power of the GPU's CUDA cores and new film-style AA techniques

GPU Tessellation with Shader Model 5.0

Quadro Tessellation Engines automatically generate finely detailed geometry for cinematic quality environments and scenes, without sacrificing performance

16K Texture and Render Processing

Provides the ability to texture from and render to 16K x 16K surfaces. Beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing

Display Features

NVIDIA Quadro Mosaic Technology

Enables transparent scaling of the desktop and applications across up to 16 displays from 4 GPUs from a single workstation while delivering full performance and image quality

Quad-Display Support

Display engine drives up to 4 displays simultaneously and fully supports the next generation Display Port 1.2 standard capable of resolutions such as 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz, making it easy to deploy multiple displays across a desktop, build an expansive digital signage wall, or create a sophisticated stereoscopic 3D CAVE environment

NVIDIA NVIEW Advanced Desktop Software

Software delivers flexibility for single large display or multi-display options, providing end-user control of the desktop experience for increased productivity

DisplayPort 1.2 Support (with Audio)

Compact and secure DisplayPort 1.2 connectors support multi-stream technology, stream cloning, and ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 3840 x 2160 at 60 Hz) enabling maximum range, resolution, refresh rate, and color depth

30-Bit Color Fidelity

10-bits per red, green, and blue; enables billions of color variations for rich, vivid image quality with the broadest dynamic range

NVIDIA 3D Vision and 3D Vision Prosup

Advanced active shutter glasses that deliver crystal-clear stereoscopic 3D visualization for the most immersive experience; Infrared (3D Vision) or RF (3D Vision Pro) technology enable a range of immersive environments from your desktop workstation to collaborative work spaces. 3D Vision and 3D Vision Pro are sold separately

OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo Support

Provides a smooth and immersive 3D Stereo experience for professional applications. Professional 3D stereo synchronization enables robust control of stereo effect through a dedicated 3-pin mini-din connection to directly synchronize 3D stereo hardware to Quadro graphics card

SDI Features

Capture Uncompressed 8-, 10-, or 12-Bit SDI formats

Enables on-air broadcast, video production, and post-production professionals to capture live video, uncompressed 8-, 10-,12-bit SDI directly to graphics memory in 3G, 2K, SD, or HD resolutions

Capture up to 4 SDI Sources Directly to GPU Memory

Enables direct transfer of video directly to graphics memory

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

Ancillary Data Support

Support for ancillary data channel (for audio, time code, etc.) is available through an NVIDIA API. Support for the introduction of ancillary data into the outgoing SDI video is also supported. This ancillary data can include up to 16 channels of embedded 24-bit digital audio as defined by SMPTE 272M and SMPTE 299M as well as time-code

2D Video Pass Through Compositing

2D Video Compositing enables incoming video to be passed through and alpha composited, luma keyed, or chroma keyed with the Quadro rendered graphics image on the outgoing SDI video

Genlock (House Synchronization)

One genlock (Standard BNC) connector (digital or analog) provides connectivity to a video sync source for SMPTE standard (digital, black burst, tri-level) synchronization. Expanded cross sync functionality permits an incoming house signal to synchronize a large number of video output signal formats

Software Support

NVIDIA CUDA Parallel Computing Architecture

Quadro solutions leverage 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 accelerates the techniques like ray tracing, video and image processing, and computation fluid dynamics

NVIDIA GPUDirect

NVIDIA GPUDirect capability increases compute performance when data throughput or latency reduction are key considerations by allowing direct access to GPU memory by 3rd-party devices such as SDI video adapters, NICs, and SSDs

NVIDIA GPUDirect for Video

This technology allows 3rd-party hardware to communicate directly with NVIDIA GPUs. Taking advantage of this API addresses the historical issues of introducing too much delay or latency because devices are fully synchronized and the CPU doesn't waste cycles copying data between device drivers
