Benefits |
| Breakthrough Visual Compute Density |
Unmatched graphics compute per cubic centimeter provides highest visual compute density enabling breakthrough levels of capability and productivity. |
| High Speed, PCI Express Data Transfer |
With low latency and high bandwidth, computing applications benefit from the highest data transfer rate possible through standard PCI-Express x16 and x8 architecture. |
| NVIDIA Unified GPU Architecture |
Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance. |
| NVIDIA® Quadro® Unified Memory Architecture |
Allows for superior memory management, which efficiently allocates and shares memory resources between concurrent graphics windows and applications. |
| Standard 1U Server Form Factor |
Industry standard form factor optimized for large scale server deployments. Four Quadro GPUs in a high density 1U chassis offer the highest performance for remote graphics applications. Performance optimized and power optimized products cover the range of IT server room requirements. System monitoring, thermal control and fault notification in the 1U server product provide the necessary features for efficient integration of the Quadro Plex Model S4 servers into the data center. |
| 16 GB Total Frame Buffer - 4 GB per GPU |
Delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high-performance for real time processing of large textures and frames and enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing (FSAA). |
| NVIDIA® CUDA™ Parallel Computing Processor |
A parallel computing processor architecture with 960 CUDA parallel processing cores 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. |
| 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. |
| PCI Express 2.0 Compliant |
Maximizes bandwidth between the host processor and the Quadro Plex with up to 12.8 GB/s transfer rates (up to 6.4 GB/s per PCI Express connection). |
| 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. |
| Fast 3D Textures |
Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset. |
| 128-Bit Precision Graphics Pipeline |
Enables sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component (RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range. |
| 32-Bit Floating Point Precision |
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through 32-bit floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing. |
| 32-Bit Filtering and Blending |
Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing. |
| 512-Bit Memory Interface |
Delivers the industry’s highest memory bandwidth (up to 408 GB/sec) for blistering data transfer. |
| Graphics API Extensions |
NVIDIA® provides a full set of API extensions for Linux and Windows, enabling applications to take maximum advantage of the hardware's capabilities. |
