NVIDIA Quadro FX 570
|
NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 graphics boards deliver outstanding entry-level application capabilities. Featuring a revolutionary unified architecture, the FX 570 dynamically allocates geometry, shading, and compute processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance. The 256MB GDDR2 frame buffer makes the FX 570 Microsoft® Vista™ ready and capable of displaying the full Windows Aero user interface. The reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 enables next generation ultra-realistic, realtime OpenGL and DirectX 10 applications. With two dual-link DVI connectors, the FX 570 offers superb image quality at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 570 is the entry-level solution from the latest generation of unified architecture based product offerings and takes leading professional CAD, DCC, and visualization applications to new levels of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision, to deliver the productivity you need at an aggressive price.
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.
Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability Shader Model 4.0
Reference standard for shader model 4.0 enabling a higher level of performance and ultra-realistic effects for next generation OpenGL and DirectX 10 industry-leading professional applications.
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.
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.
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.
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.
