Featuring the industrys first top-to-bottom family of PCI Express products targeted for professional CAD, DCC, and Scientific applications, 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 NVIDIAs next-generation crossbar memory architecture, enabling occlusion-culling, lossless depth Z-buffer, and color compression. NVIDIA Quadro FX was designed specifically to take advantage of the next-generation PCI Express bus architecture. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB per second in both upstream and downstream data transfers.
