Quadro2 Pro 64Mb AGP Video Card, DVI VGA - 25P6323 Description:
The NVIDIA Quadro2 Pro graphics accelerator is the world's first
Gigatexel shading GPU with Hypertexel pipelines and a High
Definition Video Processor (HDVP). Incorporating a radical new pixel
shading architecture, Quadro2 Pro is the world's first real time,
per-pixel shading processor, raising image quality to never before
seen heights for interactive content. Each of the four new
Hypertexel pipelines now process two textures per pixel, in
life-like 32-bit color, at full speed. Quadro2 Pro's
second-generation transform and lighting architecture now delivers
greater than 31 Million triangles/sec transformed and lit, allowing
even more stunning visuals and realism.
Graphic Processor: The processor is like the central
nervous system of the card. The processor interprets and executes
commands related to the chip; Which processor you have essentially
defines the card's capabilities. NVIDIA Quadro2 pro
RAMDAC Speed: 350 MHz
Key Features
Card Interface: When upgrading your machine, choose
the correct interface that will connect to your computer. Generally,
older machines tend to have a PCI slot, and newer machines AGP. AGP
has such high bandwidth that even used with lots of 3D graphics,
it's hard to actually use it for all it is worth. However, as
graphics continue to get more complicated, AGP will certainly come
into more mainstream use. AGP 4x
Compatibility: The platform refers to the operating system of
the computer you intend to use your graphics card with (e.g.,
Windows98 or OSX). PC
Memory
Installed Memory: 64 MB
Memory Tech: Graphics cards come with various types of
memory technology, or RAM. The type of RAM that is embedded on the
card will have a significant effect on the card's performance.
Briefly, there are descriptions of some types, below:
* DDR: Double-Data Rate RAM essentially doubles the rate of
standard SDRAM. Any DDR RAM will be quicker (and probably more
expensive) than its non-DDR counterpart.
* RDRAM: RDRAM basically doubles the output of SDRAM and also
moves the data quicker. This is a high-end variant of RAM.
* SDRAM: This is a high performance, faster variant on some
other types of RAM. The S stands for "synchronous" because it uses a
new technology to send spurts of data at specific intervals of time.
* SGRAM: This is a graphics-specific type of memory used in
high-end graphics cards. This type of memory sends data in blocks so
that graphics appear less choppy when read.
Installed Memory / Technology: Memory is a very
important attribute to consider when purchasing a graphics card.
When your graphics card has more memory, it means it can hold more
data. The more data it holds, the faster your computer will be able
to show textured and 3-D images. Up to 64MB are consider lower-end
cards, and 128MB and up are considered high end. 64 MB (DDR SDRAM)
Technical Features
Form Factor: Plug-in card
Max. Screen Resolution: The resolution of the
graphics card specifies the number of pixels (tiny points that
collectively comprise an image) that the card can display on a
screen. Higher resolution levels mean that the graphics card can
display more pixels, and therefore crisper, more detailed images.
