PNY NVIDIA Graphics Cards

The Standard for Professional Graphics

TriStar relies on NVIDIA Quadro FX Graphics Cards by PNY to deliver optimum performance in all of our workstations.

The NVIDIA Quadro by PNY Technologies family of professional solutions for workstations delivers the fastest application performance and the highest quality graphics.

Raw performance and quality are only the beginning. The NVIDIA Quadro family takes the leading computer-aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), and visualization applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented capabilities in programmability and precision. The industry's leading workstation applications leverage this architecture to enable hardware accelerated features not found in any other professional graphics solution.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 by PNYIn addition to a full line up of 2D and 3D workstation graphics solutions, the NVIDIA Quadro professional products include a set of specialty solutions that have been architected to meet the needs of a wide range of industry professionals. These specialty solutions provide distinct features to enable advanced imaging visualization and broadcast applications-from multi-system scalability and synchronization to uncompressed 12-bit HD-SDI video output.


Features Benefits
Dual Dual-Link Digital Display Connectors Dual dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra-high-resolution panels (up to 3840 x 2400 @ 24Hz on each panel) -which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images3.
1GB (1024MB) Frame Buffer Support Delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high performance for realtime processing of large textures and frames, and enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing4.
NVIDIA SLI Technology Enables NVIDIA Quadro products to be linked together via an intelligent communication protocol,resulting in true graphics scaling to unprecedented levels of performance and quality1.
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  
12-Bit Subpixel Precision 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 1920 x 1200, resulting in highly realistic scenes. New rotated-grid FSAA algorithm (RG FSAA) delivers unprecedented quality and performance.
High Precision, Dynamic Range Imaging Technology Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented quality of rendered images for visual effects processing.
Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back Up to 2.4GB/sec. pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput, more than 10x the performance of previous generations of graphics systems.
NVIDIA PureVideo Technology NVIDIA PureVideo technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include, high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from DVD.
