FEATURES
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600G by PNY Technologies is an ideal solution for applications requiring unprecedented levels of immersive realism or interactive visualization that utilize Frame Lock or Genlock functionality to choreograph multi-device film and video environments, or visualization clusters for effects rendering, scientific, or engineering use.
Film and video pre- and post-production professionals can easily integrate the most powerful and programmable professional graphics engine available, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 by PNY, into production workflows – allowing effects designers unprecedented creative capabilities while dramatically shortening the time from creative concept to finished production. Scientists and engineers can develop scalable, open standards driven, visualization clusters that can dramatically outperform expensive proprietary solutions at a fraction of their cost.
Frame Lock synchronizes the display channels from multiple workstations, creating a single “virtual display,” that can be driven by a multi-system cluster for performance scalability. Genlock (also known as “house sync”) allows graphics output to be synchronized to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.
Along with Frame Lock and Genlock functionality the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600G by PNY features a new NVIDIA unified architecture that dynamically allocates compute, geometry, and shader processing power to efficiently deliver optimized performance. Featuring a 768MB frame buffer with massive memory bandwidth up to 57.6GB/sec., Quadro FX 4600 enables interactive visualization of the largest, 64-bit datasets. Revolutionary NVIDIA CUDA™ technology provides a simplified computing platform for data-intensive applications using a standard C language interface to solve complex computational problems. The reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, Quadro FX 4600 enables next generation ultra-realistic, real-time visualization applications with unprecedented image quality. With two dual-link DVI connectors, Quadro FX 4600 by offers the industry’s best image quality at resolutions up to 3840 x 2400.
KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
Frame Lock
Allows the display channels from multiple workstations to be synchronized, creating a large “virtual display” that can be driven by a multi-system cluster for performance scalability.
Genlock (House Sync)
Synchronizes graphics output to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.
NVIDIA Unified Architecture
Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance.
NVIDIA CUDA GPU Computing Technology
An innovative combination of GPU computing features that is accessible through a standard C language interface unleashes entirely new capabilities to solve complex, data intensive problems.
Essential for Microsoft Windows® Vista™
By offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased application performance, and the highest image quality, NVIDIA Quadro by PNY graphics boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers are optimized for 32- and 64-bit architectures to enable the best Windows Vista experience.
768MB GDDR3 Ultra-Fast Frame Buffer
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).
Fast 3D Textures
Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures results in more interactive visualization of large volumetric datasets.
Jumbo 8K Textures Processing
Faster processing of very large textures resulting in higher performance when zooming and panning through high resolution images.
