Key Features and Benefits:
NVIDIA® Quadro® 4000 For Mac®

GPU Features

• Next-Generation NVIDIA® CUDA™ Architecture
  Breakthrough NVIDIA Fermi architecture incorporates CUDA parallel computing capabilities and advanced visualization to deliver performance that greatly accelerates professional workflows.
• NVIDIA® Scalable Geometry Engine™
  Dramatically improves geometry performance across a broad range of CAD, DCC and medical applications, enabling you to work interactively with models and scenes that are an order of magnitude more complex than ever before.
• Large Framebuffers with Ultra-Fast Bandwidth
  Large GPU memory with fast bandwidth for accelerating the display of complex models and scenes, as well as performing complex computation on large datasets.
• NVIDIA® Parallel DataCache™
  Supports a true cache hierarchy combined with on-chip shared memory. L1 and L2 caches drive exceptional throughput, accelerating features such as real-time ray tracing, physics and texture filtering.
• NVIDIA® GigaThread™ Engine
  Provides up to 10x faster context switching compared to previous generation architectures, concurrent kernel execution, and improved thread block scheduling.
• Fast 3D Texture Transfer
  Fast transfer and manipulation of 3D textures resulting in more interactive visualization of large volumetric datasets.
• Hardware 3D Window Clipping
  Hardware accelerated clip regions (data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer) improve overall graphics performance by increasing transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer.

Image Quality

• Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
  Up to 64X* FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies," resulting in unparalled image quality and highly realistic scenes.
• GPU Tessellation with Shader Model 5.0
  Quadro Tessellation Engines automatically generates finely detailed geometry, for cinematic quality environments and scenes, without sacrificing performance.
• 16K Texture and Render Processing
  The ability to texture from and render to 16K x 16K surfaces. Beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing.
• NVIDIA High Precision High Dynamic Range (HDR) 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.

Display Features

• High-Quality Display Connectors
  Attaches to ultra-high-resolution panels producing phenomenal photorealistic image quality from a range of display connectors. Supports two active connectors including, dual-link DVI with up to 3840 x 2400 @ 24Hz and DisplayPort with up to 2560 x 1600. Mini DisplayPort and HDMI for integrated audio and video thru the GPU are also supported through optional cables.
• OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo Support
  OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo offers professional applications the capability of smooth and immersive 3D Stereo experience.
• 3D Stereo Synchronization*
  Enables robust control of stereo effect through a dedicated 3-pin mini-din connection between the graphics card and 3D stereo hardware. Support via optional 3-pin mini din connector.

Software Support

• Programming the CUDA Parallel Computing Architecture
  General purpose GPU computing using standard programming languages like C/C++ and Fortran, and emerging APIs such as OpenCL and Direct Compute. This broad adoption of CUDA is accelerating techniques like ray tracing, video and image processing, and computation fluid dynamics.
• Cg Programming
  Programmable GPU leverages Cg high-level, open-standard shading language to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes and designs.
• Shader Model 5.0 Programmability
  Infinite length vertex programs and dynamic flow control remove the previous limits on OpenGL and DirectX shader programs, delivering sophisticated effects never before imagined.
• Accelerated performance for Microsoft Windows professional applications
  Experience native Quadro® GPU accelerated 3D graphics performance and features when using Apple Boot Camp.

Industry Standard

• PCI Express 2.0 Compliant
  Doubles the data transfer rate up to 5 GT/sec per lane for an aggregate bandwidth of 16 GB/sec bi-directional (8 GB/sec in each direction).
• Ultra-Quiet Design
  Acoustics lower than 28db for an ultra-quiet desktop environment.
