  • 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 32and 64-bit architectures to enable the Windows Vista experience.

  • Fast 3D Texture Transfer: Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset.

  • 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 synchronized to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.

  • NVIDIA ® CUDA™: A C language environment and tool suite in combination with high performance visualization unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing and interactive volume rendering.
