OVERVIEW
The NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4400 sets a new bar for workstation graphics, shattering the limits of performance, programmability, precision, and quality for professional CAD, DCC, and scientific applications. The ultra-high end NVIDIA Quadro FX4400 by PNY features a revolutionary new architecture with 2x the geometry and fill rate, 5x the hardware pixel read-back performance, 1.25x the memory bandwidth of previous generation workstation graphics, and 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 without compromising performance.
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
Proven Workstation Graphics Architecture Parallel vertex engines, programmable pixel pipelines, and workstation specific features result in the industry's highest application performance and quality.

Advanced Vertex and Pixel Programmability
Enables real-time shaders to simulate a wide range of physical effects and surface properties.

Full 128-bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Enables mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality.

12-bit Subpixel Precision
3x that of the nearest competitive workstation graphics, 12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other rasterization anomalies.

High Quality Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
Up to 16x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies" at resolutions up to 3840x2400, resulting in highly realistic scenes. New rotated grid FSAA algorithm (RGFSAA) delivers unprecedented quality and performance.

High Precision Dynamic Range Imaging (HPDR) 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. Support for 32-bit floating point precision per component - an industry exclusive.

Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Greater than 1.0GB/sec. pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput, more than 5x the performance of previous generation graphics systems.

PCI Express Support
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.

Unified Driver Architecture
Provides easy installation and manageability through a single unified driver for large scale system deployment. The performance and power of the NVIDIA Quadro FX are built on a solid foundation of quality engineering. This engineering excellence is exemplified by the NVIDIA Unified Driver Architecture (UDA), which is certified for quality by the entire spectrum of CAD and DCC applications.
