Overview:
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 by PNY Professional Video Edition delivers unprecedented price/performance. A revolutionary new architecture increases raw geometry and fill rate performance over previous generation products and delivers 40GB/sec. memory bandwidth with support for 256MB of ultra-fast GDDR3 memory. NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 by PNY Professional Video Edition provides the optimal blend of quality, precision, performance, programmability, and price for all professional CAD, DCC, and visualization applications. Two dual-link DVI outputs and HD component out, through the included PNY Technologies Professional Video Breakout Box, enable simultaneous connections to ultra-high resolution digital flat panels and HD or SD component, S-Video, or composite video displays, making the NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 by PNY Professional Video Edition a must have for high performance DV and HDV video editing solutions.
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 visualization applications.
Unmatched Color Precision
Full 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.
Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability
NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs introduce infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous limits on complexity and structure of shader programs. With full support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0, NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs deliver sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.
Unparalleled Subpixel Precision
12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Greater than 2.4GB/Sec., pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughout, more than 10x the performance of previous generation graphics systems.
Rotated Grid Full Screen Antialiasing (RG FSAA)
RG 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.
High Precision Dynamic Range Imaging (HPDR) 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.
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.
Dual Dual-Link Digital Display Connectors
Two dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra high resolution panels (up to 3840 x 2400 at 24Hz on each panel) - resulting in amazing image quality and detailed photorealistic images.
Integrated HD Component, S-Video and Composite Video Output
7-pin HD out connector and the PNY Technologies Professional Video Breakout Box provide graphics to HD component video (YPrPB), S-Video, or composite video out to enable real-time output to HD broadcast monitors, video recorders, or other video peripherals - enhancing the capabilities of nearly any 3D design, DCC, video editing, medical imaging, or visual simulation application.
