Leadtek NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400 (NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400, 512MB, 256-bit DDR3 PCI Express)

The NVIDIA QuadroR FX 4400 is the fastest performing graphics solution in the industry with the new NVIDIA QuadroR FX 4400 model. The ultra-high end product features a revolutionary new architecture with 2x the geometry and fill rate, 5x the hardware pixel read-back performance and 1.25x the memory bandwidth of previous generation workstation graphics, and supports up to 512MB ultra-fast GDDR3 memory. Implementation of rotated-grid FSAA introduces far greater sophistication in the multi-sampling pattern, significantly increasing color accuracy and the visual quality of edges and lines.

rmed with a radically new graphics architecture engineered to address the most demanding challenges, the ultra-high end GPUs of NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400 by Leadtek deliver unprecedented power and performance capabilities with unmatched features and capabilities for workstation professionals. “The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400 board is the MVP in a new family of distinct PCI Express workstation graphics solutions,” said Jeff Brown, general manager professional graphics at NVIDIA. “This new family delivers everything users could hope for….It’s an all-star line-up all around.”

Key Features

PCI Express Standard
PCI Express is a brand new high-performance technology for PCs. By working hand-in-hand with Intel in the development of graphics solutions for this revolutionary new graphics bus architecture, Leadtek and NVIDIA introduce Quadro FX 1400 that enhances your experience and prepare you for the future of computing.

With double the bandwidth of the AGP 8X graphics bus, FX 4400’s PCI Express solutions deliver a new level of PC performance for graphics and networking. This new bus doubles the bandwidth of AGP 8X delivering over 4 GB/sec. in both upstream and downstream data transfers. NVIDIA is the first graphics processing unit (GPU) manufacturer on the PCI-SIG Integrators List. PCI-SIG, the Special Interest Group responsible for PCI Express industry-standard I/O technologies, has indicated NVIDIA PCI Express technology-based products have passed the Workshop compliance test suite by adding the products to the PCI-SIG Integrators List. To be placed on the PCI-SIG Integrators List, products must undergo a significant set of interoperability and compliance testing requirements, and pass a detailed ‘Compliance Checklist’.

NVIDIA SLI Support
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4400 model support 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.

Rotated Grid Full-Scene Anti-aliasing (RG FSAA)
Quadro FX 4400 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.

256-Bit 512MB GDDR3 Memory Interface
Delivers the industry’s highest memory bandwidth (35.2GB/sec.) for blistering data transfer. Support for the world’s fastest 512MB GDDR3 memory with lower power consumption than previous generation systems.

Full Support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0
Delivers sophisticated effects never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.

OpenGLR 1.5 and DirectXR 9.0c Support
Fully compliant with OpenGLR 1.5 and DirectXR 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
Greater than 2.0GB/sec, 10x pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput, more that 5x the performance of previous generation graphics 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.

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.

Unified Driver Architecture/nView Multi-Display Architecture
Provides easy installation and manageability through a single unified driver and software.
