Essential for Microsoft Windows Vista
Offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased application performance, and the highest image quality, NVIDIA Quadro graphics boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers are optimized for 32- and 64-bit architectures to enable the Windows® Vista™ experience.
256MB DDR2 Frame Buffer memory
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).
Low-Profile Form Factor
Enables support for small form factor systems.
nView Multi-Display Technology (available spring, 2008)
The NVIDIA® nView® hardware and software technology combination delivers maximum flexibility for multi-display options, and provides unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience. NVIDIA GPUs are designed to support multi-displays.
NVIDIA® PureVideo™ Technology
NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include, high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.
High Performance Display Outputs
400MHz RAMDACs and two DVI-I connectors drive both analog and digital displays, with single-link TMDS transmitters supporting high-resolution digital panels (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz) -- which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
Ultimate Image Quality
Quadro NVS graphics products deliver the industry’s best image quality, sharpness and pixel tracking for analog LCDs, DLPs and plasma displays with resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75Hz.
Fanless Design
With a passive heatsink, accoustics is not a problem to achieve a quieter desktop environment.
Unified Driver Architecture
The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because the latest driver supports all current NVIDIA products (Quadro NVS 280 for PCI by PNY supported on a separate driver branch).
