QUADRODCC PRODUCT OVERVIEW 06.01v1
P O W E R I N G THE NEXT G E N E R AT I O N OF DIGITAL C O N T E N T CREATION
The NVIDIA® Quadro DCCTM is the premier workstation graphics solution for professional Digital Content Creation (DCC) applications. Quadro DCC is the only professional graphics solution that can take advantage of every new feature incorporated into leading DCC applications and is certified for Discreet's 3ds maxTM 4. Quadro DCC enables the latest 3D modeling, animation and rendering software so that developers can create a virtually infinite palette of special effects in real time, while reducing production time and providing artists with instant feedback on changes made to 3D models. Real-time Hollywood style effects are only made possible using the Quadro DCC, making it the ultimate productivity tool for authoring content for the PC, Microsoft® XboxTM and other digital media platforms. MAXtremeTM driver, featuring key enhancements vital to graphics professionals, including in-window rendering tools, OpenGL window management enhancements, OpenGL overlay support and certification support for an extensive list of professional applications. NVIDIA's Lightspeed Memory ArchitectureTM for Quadro DCC delivers the rendering performance that DCC professionals require by combining advanced back-buffered memory management techniques and other workstation memory optimizations with the performance advantages of a crossbar memory architecture.
n F I N I T E F X F O R PROFESSIONAL D I G I TA L CONTENT CREATION
Capitalizing on technology introduced in NVIDIA's revolutionary GeForce3 graphics architecture, the Quadro DCC enables stunning visual effects previously unavailable for real-time rendering. Effects such as matrix palette skinning, keyframe animation, morphing, fog effects, true reflective bump mapping, and per-pixel lighting and reflection have, until now, been impractically slow to render. Quadro DCC is the first professional-grade graphics product to accomplish real-time rendering of these effects on workstation desktops. Harnessing the power of NVIDIA's nfiniteFXTM engine, the Quadro DCC is the premier professional graphics solution with hardware support for programmable Vertex and Pixel Shaders. These two technology innovations allow digital artists to infuse animated characters with personality and emotion, instill photo-realism into materials and surfaces, and create dramatic scenes using textures and lighting techniques only made possible with Quadro DCC.
P R O F E S S I O N A L QUALITY P E R F O R M A N C E AND USABILITY
The NVIDIA Quadro DCC has been customized for the professional DCC production environment. Quadro DCC provides graphics professionals with the ultimate performance for Microsoft's DirectX® and OpenGL® applications due to the many optimizations exclusive to NVIDIA's QuadroTM workstation product line, and additional performance tuning for Intel®- and AMD®-based workstation platforms. The Quadro DCC's power is unleashed by NVIDIA's custom ELSA
Combining the personality and ambiance enabled by the nFiniteFX engine, the power of the Lightspeed Memory Architecture for Quadro DCC, and the stability and performance of Quadro workstation features results in breathtaking real-time visual effects. In addition, the Quadro DCC's same core architecture is found in the GeForce3 GPU and Microsoft's Xbox GPU, making it the ideal productivity tool for creating visual effects, character animations and next-generation games for the PC, Xbox and other digital media platforms.
T H E ULTIMATE PRODUCTIVITY T O O L FOR THE PC, XBOX AND O T H E R PLATFORMS
No other professional graphics solution offers a comparable combination of features and performance. The NVIDIA Quadro DCC opens up a new world of realtime visual effects to professional digital content artists and game developers.
