Dell nVidia Quadro FX 4500 512MB DDR3 PCI-Express Graphics Card KU705 0KU705
NVIDIA Quadro FX Architecture Achieves Unprecedented Performance. Featuring the industry's broadest family of PCI Express™ products designed from the ground up with the needs of professional CAD, DCC, and Scientific Visualization applications and users in mind, NVIDIA Quadro FX ushers in a new era of unprecedented performance, programmability, precision, and quality. As the ultimate expression of this design focus the FX 4500 anchors the ultra high-end segment of the NVIDIA Quadro FX by PNY product line.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX architecture as expressed in the FX 4500 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 NVIDIA's next-generation crossbar memory architecture - enabling occlusion-culling, lossless depth Z-buffer, and color compression.
