3D graphics solution for CAD, DCC,

and visualization applications

NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500

graphics boards are the

industry leading mid-range professional graphics

solution for CAD, DCC, and visualization

applications.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 delivers unprecedented

price/performance. A revolutionary new architecture

increases raw geometry and fill rate performance over

previous generation products and delivers 40GB/sec.

memory bandwidth with support for 256MB of ultra-fast

GDDR3 memory. NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 provides the optimal

blend of quality, precision, performance,

programmability, and price for all professional CAD,

DCC, and visualization applications. Featuring two

dual-link DVI connectors, NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 offers

the industry's best image quality at resolutions up to

3840 x 2400.

Key Features and Benefits

Highest Workstation Application Performance

Next-generation architecture enables over 2x improvement

in geometry and fill rates with the industry's highest

performance for professional CAD, DCC, and visualization

applications.

Unmatched Color Precision

Full 128-bit precision graphics pipeline enables

sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain high

accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full

IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component

(RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the

broadest dynamic range.

Next-Generation Vertex and

Pixel Programmability

NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs introduce infinite length vertex

programs and dynamic flow control, removing the previous

limits on complexity and structure of shader programs.

With full support for Vertex and Shader Model 3.0,

NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs deliver sophisticated effects

never before imagined for real-time graphics systems.

Unparalleled Subpixel Precision

12-bit subpixel precision delivers high geometric

accuracy, eliminating spreckles, cracks, and other

rasterization anomalies.

Hardware-Accelerated Pixel

Read-Back

Greater than 2.4GB/Sec., pixel read-back performance

delivers massive host throughout, more than 10x the

performance of previous generation graphics systems.

Rotated Grid Full Screen

Antialiasing (RG FSAA)

RG 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

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.

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.

Dual Dual-Link Digital Display

Connectors

Two dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra high

resolution panels (up to 3840 x 2400 at 24Hz on each

panel) - resulting in amazing image quality and detailed

photorealistic images.
