NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450

Featuring the industry's broadest family of PCI Express™ products designed from the ground up with the needs of professional CAD, DCC, and Scientific Visualization applications and users in mind, NVIDIA Quadro FX ushers in a new era of unprecedented performance, programmability, precision, and quality.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX architecture takes application performance to new levels by featuring an array of parallel vertex engines, a radically new line engine, and fully programmable pixel pipelines coupled to a high-speed graphics DRAM bus. Pipeline efficiency is further multiplied by NVIDIA's next-generation crossbar memory architecture - enabling occlusion-culling, lossless depth Z-buffer, and color compression.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 3450

Parallel vertex engines, programmable pixel pipelines, and workstation specific features result in the industry's highest application performance and quality.

Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects and surface properties.

Allows mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality.

3x that of the nearest competitive professional graphics products; 12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.

Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities applied to shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Provides unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing and delivers support for 32-bit floating point precision per component - an industry exclusive.

SLI allows dual GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) to significantly accelerate graphics performance. Professional users benefit by using SLI technology on twin graphics boards to span a hardware accelerated OpenGL windows across multiple displays, or to run a single application per GPU. SLI also offers dual GPU performance on a single display by utilizing the capabilities of two NVIDIA Quadro GPUs to drive it (SLI connector required).

FX 3450 PCIE compatible with 8x Express slot Designed to take full advantage of the next generation PCI Express expansion bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X and delivers over 4GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfer modes.

Provides easy installation and sophisticated manageability through a single unified driver tailored for large scale system deployments. The performance and power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX are built on a solid foundation of quality engineering, testing, and real world solutions expertise. These strengths are exemplified by the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), which is certified for quality across the entire spectrum of CAD, DCC, and Scientific applications.
