NVIDIA Quadro Architecture AchievesUnprecedented Performance

The NVIDIA Quadro architecture takesapplication performance to new levels byfeaturing an array of parallel vertex en-gines, a radically new line engine, and fullyprogrammable pixel pipelines coupled to ahigh-speed graphics DRAM bus. Pipelineefciency is further multiplied by NVIDIA’snext-generation crossbar memory archi-tecture, enabling occlusion culling, losslessdepth Z-buffer, and color compression.

These elements combine to achieveunprecedented 3D performance: blazinggeometry performance, lightening-fastline performance, and massive ll ratespowered by superscalar pixel pipelines.

However, the true measure of power isapplication performance. The NVIDIAQuadro architecture more than doubles theperformance of the previous generation.With a pixel read-back performance of upto 2.4GB/sec., massive host throughputgains can be achieved for professionalapplications. In addition, NVIDIA Quadrographics solutions feature NVIDIA ® SLI™ technology 1, a revolutionary platform in-novation that enables professional users todynamically scale graphics performance,enhance image quality, and expand displayreal estate by combining multiple NVIDIAQuadro graphics solutions in a singlesystem. Using dedicated scalability logic,NVIDIA SLI technology delivers new levelsof performance, quality, and resolution.

Advanced ProgrammabilityEmpowers a New Class of

Applications

For the rst time, styling and productionrendering become integral functions of thedesign workow, shortening the productionprocess and enabling faster time to market.

Leading this change in functionality are the

major CAD and DCC application vendors.End users can take full advantage of theprogrammable NVIDIA Quadro architec-ture by enabling sophisticated shadersto simulate a virtually unlimited range ofphysical characteristics, such as lightingeffects (dispersion, reection, refraction,BRDF2 models) and even physical sur-face properties (casting effects, porosity,molded surfaces). Real-time shaders allowthese effects to be combined and modiedinteractively, something t hat is impossiblewith simple 2D static texture maps.

Full 128-bit Floating Point PrecisionDelivers the Industry’s HighestWorkstation Quality

Sophisticated real-time effects t ypicallyinvolve multiple mathematical operationsthat demand high precision to maintainimage quality. The NVIDIA Quadro archi-tecture features true 128-bit IEEE oatingpoint precision (32-bit fp per component),resulting in the highest level of accuracyand the ultimate in visual quality.

High subpixel precision is another majorcontributor to image quality, addressingvisual anomalies that cause models to“speckle” or “crack.” The NVIDIA Quadroarchitecture virtually eliminates this prob-lem by providing 12-bit subpixel precision,three times higher precision than the near-est competitive product.

The NVIDIA Quadro family delivers true16-bit and 32-bit oating point formatsfor accurately matching visual images.The 32-bit oating point precision format,an industry rst and exclusive, meets theneeds of cutting-edge applications. Allimages have a smoother, more appealingvariation in color density, which increasesvisual realism and generates photorealisticrendered images.

Certied for the Highest QualityExperience with the Most DemandingWorkstation Applications

The performance and power of the NVIDIAQuadro architecture are built on a solidfoundation of quality engineering. This en-gineering excellence is exemplied by theNVIDIA Unied Driver Architecture (UDA),which is certied for quality by the entirespectrum of CAD and DCC applications.

The true power of UDA lies in the breadthof supported products and its long-termdelivery of quality and performance. AllNVIDIA Quadro products, including previ-ous generations, are continually t estedand certied. This rigorous testing processresults in the industry’s highest quality

hardware and drivers, even with applica-tions released long after an NVIDIA Quadroproduct has shipped.

Uncompromised ProfessionalGraphics to Go

The NVIDIA Quadro FX professionalsolutions for mobile workstations deliverthe fastest application performance andthe highest quality graphics. The NVIDIAQuadro FX mobile solutions take theleading CAD, DCC, and visual-ization applications to anew level of interac-tivity on a note-book by enablingunprecedentedcapabilities in

programmabilityand preci-sion.
