In line with NVIDIA’s approach of designing Quadro professional products for the specific requirements of end users, the Quadro FX 470 and Quadro FX 370 LP GPUs provide high performance and flexibility at an attractive entry-level price for computer-aided design (CAD) and digital content creation (DCC) applications.
Jeff Brown, General Manager of Professional Services at NVIDIA, says: “The Quadro FX 470 and Quadro FX 370 LP have been extensively tested and certified, and were specifically designed to maximize productivity. They offer a cost-effective, high-quality solution for everyday business requirements.”
Both new solutions are certified for major DCC and CAD applications from independent software vendors including Autodesk and Adobe.
The Quadro FX 470 and Quadro FX 370 LP provide 128-bit precision in the graphics pipeline, 32-bit floating-point precision, optimized color compression, early Z-culling for improved bandwidth and rendering efficiency, and antialiasing.
Additional features include:
- The industry’s first unified GPU architecture, dynamically allocating processing power to geometry, shading and pixel processing to improve visualization quality in OpenGL and Microsoft DirectX 10 applications
- NVIDIA CUDA technology, a parallel computing processor architecture and tool suite for high-performance visualization
- Shader Model 4.0 support for ultra-realistic real-time visualization applications
- NVIDIA nView Advanced Display Software, combining hardware and software technology for maximum flexibility with large displays and multi-display solutions
- I/O scalability and performance, with extensive I/O-slot support enabling SAS and dual-Gigabit Ethernet connections for improved performance
The Quadro FX 470 motherboard GPU is available from NVIDIA system integrators. The Quadro FX 370 LP GPU is available immediately.
