PNY Technologies VCQ4000MAC-PB nVIDIA Quadro 4000 for Mac Display Card, 2GB GDDR5 RAM

Key Features

• Next-Generation nVIDIA CUDA Architecture: Breakthrough nVIDIA Fermi architecture incorporates CUDA parallel computing capabilities and advanced visualization to deliver performance that greatly accelerates professional workflows
• nVIDIA Scalable Geometry Engine: Scalable engines dramatically improve geometry performance across a broad range of CAD, DCC and medical applications, enabling you to work interactively with models and scenes that are an order of magnitude more complex than ever before
• Large Framebuffers with Ultra-Fast Bandwidth: Large GPU memory with fast bandwidth accelerates the display of complex models and scenes, allowing you to perform complex computation on large datasets
• nVIDIA Parallel DataCache: Parallel DataCache supports a true cache hierarchy combined with on-chip shared memory. L1 and L2 caches drive exceptional throughput, accelerating features such as real-time ray tracing, physics and texture filtering
• nVIDIA GigaThread Engine: The GigaThread Engine provides up to ten times faster context switching compared to previous generation architectures, concurrent kernel execution and improved thread block scheduling
• Fast 3D Texture Transfer: Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures results in more interactive visualization of large volumetric datasets
• Hardware 3D Window Clipping: Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between the color buffer and frame buffer
• Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA): Up to 64x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies," resulting in unparalleled image quality and highly realistic scenes
• GPU Tessellation with Shader Model 5.0: Quadro Tessellation Engine automatically generates finely detailed geometry, for cinematic quality environments and scenes, without sacrificing performance
• 16K Texture and Render Processing: The card boasts the ability to texture from and render to 16K x 16K surfaces -- beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing
• nVIDIA High Precision High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology: The Quadro sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing and blending. It enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing
• High-Quality Display Connectors: Use the card to drive ultra-high-resolution panels, producing phenomenal photorealistic image quality from a range of display connectors
• 30-bit Color Fidelity: 30-bit color fidelity (10-bits per color) enables billions rather than millions of color variations for rich, vivid image quality with the broadest dynamic range
• OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo Support: OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo offers professional applications the capability of smooth and immersive 3D Stereo experience
• 3D Stereo Synchronization: Use 3D Stereo Synchronization to enable robust control of the stereo effect through a dedicated 3-pin mini-din connection between the graphics card and 3D stereo hardware
• Programming the CUDA Parallel Computing Architecture: CUDA allows for general purpose GPU computing using standard programming languages like C/C++ and Fortran and emerging APIs such as OpenCL and Direct Compute
• Cg Programming: The programmable GPU leverages Cg high-level, open-standard shading language to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes and designs
• Accelerated Performance for Microsoft Windows Professional Applications: Experience native Quadro GPU accelerated 3D graphics performance and features when using Apple Boot Camp
• PCI Express 2.0 Compliant: PCI Express 2.0 doubles the data transfer rate up to 5GT/sec per lane for an aggregate bandwidth of 16GB/sec bi-directional (8GB/sec in each direction)
• Ultra-Quiet Design: Feel free to use the card in sound-sensitive environments. It outputs less than 28db of noise
