CUDA Architecture NVIDIA® CUDA™ is a revolutionary parallel computing architecture for Quadro GPUs enabling breakthrough performance in areas such as such as interactive ray tracing, finite element analysis, and computational fluid dynamics. NVIDIA Unified GPU Architecture Industry’s first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance. Essential for Windows Vista Offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased application performance, and the highest image quality, Quadro graphics boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers are optimized for 32- and 64-bit architectures to enable the Microsoft® Windows Vista® experience. 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). Dual Dual-Link DVI Digital Display Connectors Drive two digital displays at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @ 60Hz resulting in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images. Ultra quiet design Engineered to deliver high performance with low acoustics for a quiet desktop environment. Unified Driver Architecture (UDA) 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.
