A Faster Way to Work
perfi_chart Don’t sacrifice creativity to meet a deadline. Encode H.264 video up to 4X faster with the NVIDIA® CUDA™-enabled plug-in for Adobe® Premiere Pro CS4*. This time savings means instead of encoding Blu-ray DVDs overnight you can now do it in a few hours during the day. Plus, accelerate rendering time for advanced effects such as transformations, color correction, depth of field blur, turbulent noise, and more.

A More Reliable Way to Work
You can’t afford system downtime. Quadro CX is engineered and optimized by NVIDIA to deliver exceptional performance when you need it. Quadro CX is also designed and optimized for Creative Suite 4. Plus, additional free plug-ins will deliver ongoing feature and performance improvements to protect your investment.

Features and Benefits
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.
Dual DisplayPort Digital Display Connectors
Dual DisplayPort connectors support ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 2560 x 1600) -- which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
Single Dual-Link Digital Display Connector

Dual-link TMDS transmitter supports ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 3840 x 2400 @24Hz) -- which result in amazing image quality producing detailed
photorealistic images.
Quad Buffered Stereo

Offers enhanced visual experience for professional applications that demand stereo viewing capability.
NVIDIA® SLI®
Technology
A revolutionary platform innovation that enables professional users to dynamically scale graphics performance, enhance image quality, and expand display real estate.
8K Texture and Render Processing
The ability to texture from and render to 8K x 8K surfaces for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing.
Fast 3D Texture Transfer

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.
64-Bit Floating Point Precision

Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through 64-bit floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
Advanced Color Compression,Early Z-Cull
Improved pipeline color compression and early z-culling to increase effective bandwidth and improve rendering efficiency and performance.
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.
Quadro 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.
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.
Frame Synchronization


Allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, thus creating one large "virtual display" that can be driven by a multisystem cluster for
performance scalability.
Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
Up to 32x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or “jaggies”, resulting in highly realistic scenes.
External Synchronization

Also known as "house sync," External Synchronization allows the graphics output to synchronize to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.
NVIDIA Graphics API Extensions
NVIDIA provides a set of extensions to standard graphics APIs for Linux and Windows, enabling applications to take maximum advantage of state-of-the-art GPU capabilities.
Hardware 3D Window Clipping

Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) which improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer.
Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Up to 2.4GB/sec pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput.

Highest Workstation Application Performance
Next-generation architecture enables over 2x improvement in geometry and fill rates with the industry’s highest performance for professional CAD,DCC,and scientific applications.
High-Performance Display Outputs
400MHz RAMDACs and up to two dual-link DVI digital connectors drive the highest resolution digital displays available on the market.
Next-Generation
Vertex and Pixel Programmability Shader Model 4.0
Reference standard for shader model 4.0 enabling a higher level of performance and realistic effects for OpenGL and next generation DirectX 10 industry-leading professional applications.

Next-Generation
Vertex and Pixel
Programmability
Infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous limits on complexity, and structure of shader programs delivering sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.
NVIDIA High Precision High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
