GPU FEATURES
NVIDIA® CUDA™ Parallel Computing Architecture
Breakthrough NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing architecture tightly integrates advanced visualization and compute features delivering performance that greatly accelerates professional workflows.
NVIDIA® GigaThread™ Engine
Provides up to 10x faster context switching compared to previous generation architectures, concurrent kernel execution, and improved thread block scheduling.
Hardware 3D Window Clipping
Hardware accelerated clip regions enable faster data transfer between a window and the frame buffer to improve overall graphics performance.
Unified Driver Architecture (UDA)
The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new solution because all Quadro products work with the same driver software.
IMAGE QUALITY
Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
Up to 16X FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies," resulting in superb image quality and highly realistic scenes.
NVIDIA High Precision High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
DISPLAY FEATURES
High-Quality Display Connectors
Attaches to ultra-high-resolution digital panels producing phenomenal photorealistic image quality from a range of display connectors. The Quadro 600 GPU simultaneously supports two active display channels including dual-link DVI-I and DisplayPort at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz. The included DVI to VGA adapter supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz. HDMI 1.3a compliant displays can be driven with a 3rd party adapter (must be purchased separately) at resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 at 60Hz.
30-Bit Color Fidelity
30-bit color fidelity (10-bits per color) enables billions 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.
SOFTWARE SUPPORT
