Product Description:
MODEL- VCQFX3450-PCIE-PB VENDOR- PNY TECHNOLOGIES
FEATURES- NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450 PCI-E Professional Graphics Card
Featuring the industry's broadest family of PCI Express products
designed from the ground up with the needs of professional CAD,
DCC, and Scientific Visualization applications and users in mind,
NVIDIA Quadro FX ushers in a new era of unprecedented performance,
programmability, precision, and quality.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 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.
Includes Quadro FX 3450 PCI Express graphics board, DVI to VGA
adapters, Drivers for Windows XP, 2000, and NT; Detailed Installation
Guide; Quickstart Installation Guide; Quadro Application Utilities on
CD-ROM (MAXtreme, POWERdraft); 6-pin power cable.
* Proven Professional Graphics Architecture
Parallel vertex engines, programmable pixel pipelines, and workstation
specific features result in the industry's highest application
performance and quality.
* Advanced Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects
and surface properties.
* Full 128-bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Allows mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in
unmatched visual quality.
* 12-bit Subpixel Precision
3x that of the nearest competitive professional graphics products;
12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating
spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
* High Precision Dynamic Range Imaging (HPDR) Technology
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point
capabilities applied to shading, filtering, texturing, and blending.
Provides unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects
processing and delivers support for 32-bit floating point precision per
component - an industry exclusive.
* Scalable Link Interface (SLI) Technology
SLI allows dual GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) to significantly
accelerate graphics performance. Professional users benefit by using SLI
technology on twin graphics boards to span a hardware accelerated OpenGL
windows across multiple displays, or to run a single application per
GPU. SLI also offers dual GPU performance on a single display by
utilizing the capabilities of two NVIDIA Quadro GPUs to drive it (SLI
connector required).
* PCI Express Support
Designed to take full advantage of the next generation PCI Express
expansion bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X
and delivers over 4GB per second in both upstream and downstream data
transfer modes.
* Unified Driver Architecture
Provides easy installation and sophisticated manageability through a
single unified driver tailored for large scale system deployments. The
performance and power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX are built on a solid
foundation of quality engineering, testing, and real world solutions
expertise. These strengths are exemplified by the NVIDIA Unified Driver
Architecture (UDA), which is certified for quality across the entire
spectrum of CAD, DCC, and Scientific applications.

- SLI Frame Rendering scales applications performance on a single
display (two PCI Express graphics boards and SLI connector required).
- SLI Frame Rendering supports Split Frame Rendering (SFR) for fill
rate-limited applications and Alternate Frame Rendering (AFR) for
geometry-limited applications.
- Requires two identical NVIDIA Quadro FX boards (1400, 3400, 3450,
4400, 4500) and SLI connector (for SLI Frame Rendering).
