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 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
