Product Information
When your Mac or PC has a lot of processing power, you need a graphics solution that can keep up with it. Luckily, NVIDIA has the solution to that problem. The PNY NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 for Apple Mac or Mac Pro is an ultra-high-end graphics solution that's designed to meet your workstation needs. It's one of the more powerful graphics cards NVIDIA released from this series. The Quadro FX 4800 graphics card is manufactured predominately for those needing cards for their workstations rather than for gaming. This graphics card gives geophysicists, designers, scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals visual computing capabilities from their desktops. Professional applications take advantage of a Quadro FX 4800 advanced feature set that includes 1.5GB of frame buffering, which provides professionals the right set of tools to deliver results that push the realms of visualization.Inside the Quadro FX 4800 lies a GT200 D10U-20 GPU that utilizes 65-nanometer technology. Additionally, it contains 192 CUDA cores just like the NVIDIA 260. The card's memory ICs also use a 384-bit interface, allowing for even faster data transfer. The Quadro FX4800 packs 1.5 GB GDDR3 of GPU memory with an ultra-fast memory bandwidth. A massive 1.5GB frame buffer and memory bandwidth capabilities of up to 76.8 GB/sec deliver high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high-performance for real time processing of large textures and frames. This enables high-quality visual representation and resolution full-scene anti aliasing (FSAA).The card has three types of connectors: two dual-link DVI, stereo, and dual DisplayPort digital display connectors. The newer interface of the Quadro FX 4800 delivers an elevated level of video memory. The video card is PCI x16 Express Certified, which means that it contains the Intel bus architecture that allows for data transfers faster than 2GB/sec. The graphics card also has hardware accelerated clip regions, which is a data transfer mechanism between a window and the frame buffer. This capability improves overall graphical performance by increasing the transfer speed between color buffer and frame buffer.The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 is essential for Microsoft Windows Vista, offering an enriched 3-D user interface. The Quadro contains NVIDIA graphics boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers that are optimized for the 32- and 64-bit architectures within Windows Vista. This doesn't mean that the Quadro FX 4800 by NVIDIA can't be used for Mac. NVIDIA Multi-OS allows a user to run multiple Windows or Linux workstation applications from a single system, with each operating system directly assigned to a Quadro graphic card. If you need it for Mac, it will be fully compatible. With full Core Image, Quartz Extreme, QuartzGL, and QuickTime X support under Mac OS X and Shader Model 4.0 support under Windows via Boot Camp, Mac software delivers improved performance for sophisticated effects in real-time graphics applications. It's fantastic to run on any computer to work, with whatever content you need, in order to help you produce in tandem with software programs such as CAD, Boot Camp, or Adobe apps.Product Identifiers
