NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 by PNY – Visualization Beyond 3D

Whether searching for and extracting oil, designing and bringing the next luxury vehicle to market, or providing a diagnosis of a patient's condition, professionals are faced with a mountain of data that needs to be distilled into meaningful and actionable visualizations. The size and complexity of data is growing at an exponential rate. In an increasingly competitive and high-pressure landscape, professionals need to deliver results better, faster, and more cost effectively than ever before. Traditional processing paradigms just cannot keep up.

With advances in the GPU architecture, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 by PNY gives geophysicists, designers, scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals visual supercomputing from their desktops. Professional applications take advantage of the Quadro FX 5800 advanced feature set, including up to 4GB of frame buffer, leading to greater interactivity with large datasets, providing the right set of tools to deliver results that push visualization beyond traditional 3D.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 5800 by PNY is the ultra high-end solution in our Quadro FX product family and incorporates NVIDIA's second generation unified architecture to deliver up to a 50% performance improvement over the first generation through 240 processor cores.

Key Features and Benefits:

4GB GDDR3 GPU memory with ultra fast memory bandwidth
Industry's first 4GB frame buffer and massive memory bandwidth up to 102GB/sec delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high performance for real-time processing of large textures and frames and enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing (FSAA).

NVIDIA CUDA™ parallel computing processor
A parallel computing processor architecture exposed through a C language environment and tool suite in combination with high performance visualization, CUDA unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing, video encoding, and interactive volume rendering.

Highest color fidelity
10-bit per component color fidelity enables billions rather than millions of color variations for rich, vivid image quality with the broadest dynamic range.

DisplayPort digital display connector
DisplayPort supports ultra high-resolution panels (up to 2560 x 1600) which results in amazing image quality and detailed photorealistic images.

Dual dual-link DVI-I display connectors
Two dual-link TDMS transmitters support ultra high-resolution panels (up to 2560 x 1600 at 60Hz on each panel) resulting in amazing image quality and detailed photorealistic images.

Quad buffered stereo
Offers enhanced visual experience for professional applications that demand stereo viewing capability.

NVIDIA SLI technology
A revolutionary platform innovation that enables professional users to dynamically scale graphics performance, enhances image quality, and expands display real estate.
