NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 delivers performance and quality on high-end CAD, DCC, and visualization applications to the professional user. Featuring NVIDIA’s new unified architecture, the Quadro FX 3700 professional graphics board dynamically allocates geometry, shading, pixel processing, and compute power to deliver optimized GPU performance while enabling Energy Star power savings. The reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, the Quadro FX 3700 enables next-generation, ultra-realistic, real-time OpenGL® and DirectX 10 visualization applications. With two dual-link DVI connectors, the Quadro FX 3700 also offers the industry’s best image quality at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 takes demanding CAD, DCC and visualization applications to new levels of interactivity by offering unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision. The industry’s leading workstation applications leverage NVIDIA’s industry-leading unified architecture Quadro GPU technology to realize innovative new hardware-accelerated features and superior performance – along with certification for stability and outstanding display quality. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 by PNY ideally complements and extends the performance of any high-end professional workstation.
Key Features and Benefits
NVIDIA Unified Architecture
Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance.
GPU Computing
NVIDIA CUDA™ provides a C language environment and tool suite that unleashes new computational capabilities to solve complex, visualization challenges such as real-time ray tracing and interactive volume rendering.
Shader Model 4.0: Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, enabling a higher level of performance and ultra-realistic effects for next generation OpenGL and DirectX 10 professional applications.
PCI Express 2.0 Support
Doubles the data transfer rate up to 5 GBps per lane, for an aggregate bandwidth of 16 GBps bi-directional (8 GBps in each direction).
NVIDIA SLI™ Technology
NVIDIA SLI technology enables dynamically scalable graphics performance, enhanced image quality, and expanded display real-estate.
Ultra-Quiet Design
Acoustics at sub 40 db, for a quiet desktop environment.
Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
Up to 32x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts of “jaggies,” resulting in highly realistic scenes.
Rotated-Grid Full-Scene Antialiasing (RG FSAA)
The rotated grid FSAA sampling algorithm introduces far greater sophistication in the sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing “jaggies” while maintaining performance.
Fast 3D Textures
Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset.
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® 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 DVD.
Unified Driver Architecture
The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.
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.
