Leadtek Quadro FX3500 256MB, Dual DVI, PCI-Ex16

NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 by Leadtek
 The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 is the industry-leading high-end workstation graphics solution for CAD, DCC and visualization applications. Featuring outstanding performance and quality, NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 high-end product deliver 256MB frame buffer memory, up to 42.2GB/s memory bandwidth, 256-bit memory interface and support for ultra high-resolution panels up to 3840 x 2400 for ultimate productivity.

 

The FX 3500 product features a revolutionary new architecture with 2x the geometry and fill rate, 5x the hardware pixel read-back performance and 1.30x the memory bandwidth of previous generation workstation graphics. Implementation of rotated-grid FSAA function introduces far greater sophistication in the multi-sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and the visual quality of edges and lines.

 

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 model supports NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) -- an innovative new technology that intelligently scales graphics performance through multiple NVIDIA GPUs in a single PCI Express system. SLI scales both geometry and fill rate/pixel shader performance for two GPUs using various methods, including inter and intra-frame scalability algorithms. And depending on the application, NVIDIA SLI can deliver as much as 2x the performance of a single GPU configuration for unparalleled working experiences.

 

Quadro FX 3500 introduces a new era of graphics image quality at unprecedented performance levels. The Rotated Grid Full-Scene Anti-aliasing (RG FSAA) increases color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing "jaggies" while maintaining performance, and sets new standards for image clarity and quality through 32-bit per component floating point. This algorithm solves what has traditionally been a compromise between performance and quality.

 

Leadtek Quadro FX 3500 features dual 400 MHz integrated RAMDACs and two dual-link DVI parts. Some high resolution panels such as Apple's 30-inch Cinema HD Display require dual-link DVI to drive its massive amount of pixels. The 30-inch Cinema Display has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600, which exceeds the bandwidth a single TMDS link can deliver. To support two 30-inch Cinema Displays, you need a special high-end card with two dual-link DVI ports such as FX 3500. It supports a maximum 2048 × 1536 × 32bpp at 85Hz resolution over VGA port and a 3840 × 2400 × 32bpp resolution over digital port. The Dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra-high-resolution panels which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
 
 
 
The Quadro FX 3500 key features:
 Next Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects (such as fresnel effects, chromatic dispersion, reflection, refraction, etc.), and surface properties (such as casting effects, porosity, molded surfaces, etc.).
 256-Bit 256MB GDDR3 Memory Interfac
Support for 256MB GDDR3 memory with lower power consumption than previous generation systems and the industry's highest memory bandwidth for blistering data transfer.
 Full Support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0
Delivers sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems
 OpenGL 2.0 and DirectX 9.0c Support
Fully compliant with OpenGL 2.0 and DirectX 9.0c applications.
 Full 128-bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component (RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range.
 Unparalleled 12-bit sub-pixel precision
3x that of the nearest competitive workstation graphics, 12-bit sub pixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating speckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.
 32-Bit Floating Point Precision
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through 32-bit floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
 Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Up to 2.4GB/sec pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput, more than 10x the performance of previous generation graphic systems.
 High Precision Dynamic Range Imaging (HPDR) technology
HDR imaging allows extremely bright objects and rich dark objects to appear dark in the same image with increased visible detail. HPDR sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending.
 Advanced Color Compression, Early Z-Cull
Improved pipeline color compression and early z-culling increase effective bandwidth and improve rendering efficiency and performance.
 Powerwall
NVIDIA's patented single-system powerwall technology allows any application to be projected on a dual-channel powerwall with sophisticated edge blending in order to achieve uniform luminosity. Powerwall works transparently with any application.
 Dual Dual-Link Digital Display Connectors
Dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra-high-resolution panels--which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.
