| Cg High-Level Graphics Shader Language |
Cg—“C” for graphics—is a high-level, open-standard programming language for OpenGL that takes advantage of the power of programmable GPUs. NVIDIA Quadro® FX programmable graphics pipelines leverage high-level shading languages to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes, and designs. This represents a major leap forward in ease and speed for the creation of real-time, realistic graphics within MCAD, DCC, and scientific applications. |
| Dedicated Visual Computing System |
Enables NVIDIA® SLI™ multi-GPU capability on any NVIDIA Quadro Plex certified PCI Express platform. |
| Fast 3D Textures |
Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset. |
| Flexible Form Factor |
Workstation, deskside tower or standard 19" rack form factor enables deployment in a wide range of environments. |
| Frame Synchronization |
Allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, thus creating one large "virtual display" that can be driven by a multisystem cluster for performance scalability. |
| Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA) |
Up to 64× SLI FSAA on Models IV and D2 and up to 128× SLI FSAA on Model D4, this dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or “jaggies, “resulting in highly realistic scenes. |
| Genlock/Frame Lock |
Also known as "house sync." Genlock allows the graphics output to synchronized to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications. |
| NVIDIA® CUDA™ Parallel Computing Processor |
A parallel computing processor architecture exposed through a C language environment and tool suite in combination with high performance visualization, CUDA unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing, video encoding, and interactive volume rendering.
|
| Hardware 3D Window Clipping |
Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) which improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer. |
| Highest Color Fidelity |
10-bit per component color fidelity enables billions rather than millions of color variations for rich, vivid image quality with the broadest dynamic range.
|
| Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability |
The NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs introduce infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous limits on complexity, and structure of shader programs. With full support for Vertex/Shader Model 4.0, Quadro FX GPUs deliver sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems. |
| NVIDIA High Precision / High Dynamic Range (HDR) 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. |
| NVIDIA Unified Architecture |
Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance. |
| 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. |
| Rotated-Grid Full-Scene Antialiasing (RG FSAA) |
The rotated grid FSAA sampling algorithm introduces far greater sophistication in the sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing “jaggies” while maintaining performance. |
