NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700

delivers performance and

quality on high-end CAD, DCC, and visualization applications to the

professional user. Featuring NVIDIA’s new unified architecture, the

Quadro FX 3700 professional graphics board dynamically allocates

geometry, shading, pixel processing, and compute power to deliver

optimized GPU performance while enabling Energy Star power savings.

The reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, the Quadro FX 3700

enables next-generation, ultra-realistic, real-time OpenGL® and

DirectX 10 visualization applications. With two dual-link DVI

connectors, the Quadro FX 3700 also offers the industry’s best image

quality at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 takes demanding CAD, DCC and

visualization applications to new levels of interactivity by

offering unprecedented capabilities in programmability and

precision. The industry’s leading workstation applications leverage

NVIDIA’s industry-leading unified architecture Quadro GPU technology

to realize innovative new hardware-accelerated features and superior

performance – along with certification for stability and outstanding

display quality. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 ideally complements

and extends the performance of any high-end professional

workstation.

Key Features and Benefits

NVIDIA Unified Architecture

Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically

allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to

deliver optimized GPU performance.

GPU Computing

NVIDIA CUDA™ provides a C language environment and tool suite that

unleashes new computational capabilities to solve complex,

visualization challenges such as real-time ray tracing and

interactive volume rendering.

Shader Model 4.0: Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel

Programmability

Reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, enabling a higher level of

performance and ultra-realistic effects for next generation OpenGL

and DirectX 10 professional applications.

PCI Express 2.0 Support

Doubles the data transfer rate up to 5 GBps per lane, for an

aggregate bandwidth of 16 GBps bi-directional (8 GBps in each

direction).

NVIDIA SLI™ Technology

NVIDIA SLI technology enables dynamically scalable graphics

performance, enhanced image quality, and expanded display

real-estate.

Ultra-Quiet Design

Acoustics at sub 40 db, for a quiet desktop environment.

Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)

Up to 32x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts of “jaggies, ”

resulting in highly realistic scenes.

Rotated-Grid Full-Scene Antialiasing (RG FSAA)

The rotated grid FSAA sampling algorithm introduces far greater

sophistication in the sampling pattern, significantly increasing

color accuracy and visual quality for edges and lines, reducing

“jaggies” while maintaining performance.

Fast 3D Textures

Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more

interactive visualization of large volumetric dataset.

nView® Multi-Display Technology (available spring, 2008)

The NVIDIA nView hardware and software technology combination

delivers maximum flexibility for multi-display options, and provides

unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience.

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.

Unified Driver Architecture

The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with

software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product

because all NVIDIA products work with the same driver software.

Essential for Microsoft Windows Vista

Offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased application

performance, and the highest image quality, NVIDIA Quadro graphics

boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers are optimized for 32- and

64-bit architectures to enable the Windows® Vista™ experience.
