NVIDIA Quadro Architecture
Achieves Unprecedented
Performance
The NVIDIA Quadro architecture takes
application performance to new levels
by featuring an array of parallel vertex
engines, a radically new line engine, and
fully programmable pixel pipelines
coupled to a high-speed graphics
DRAM bus. Pipeline efficiency is further
multiplied by NVIDIA’s next-generation
crossbar memory architecture, enabling
occlusion culling, lossless depth
Z-buffer, and color compression.

These elements combine to achieve

geometry performance, lightening-fast
line performance, and massive fill rates
powered by superscalar pixel pipelines.
However, the true measure of power is
application performance. The NVIDIA
Quadro architecture more than doubles
the performance of the previous
generation. With a pixel read-back
performance of up to 2.4GB/sec.,
massive host throughput gains can be
achieved for OpenGL applications. In

Precision Delivers the Industry's
Highest Workstation Quality
Sophisticated real-time effects typically
involve multiple mathematical
operations that demand high precision
to maintain image quality. The NVIDIA
Quadro architecture features true
128-bit IEEE floating point precision
(32-bit fp per component), resulting in
the highest level of accuracy and the
ultimate in visual quality.
