Leadtek launches graphics cards based on Nvidia Quadro family
Press release, September 17; Joseph Tsai, DIGITIMES [Monday 17 September 2007] 
Leadtek Research has announced new members of the Quadro family - entry level FX 370 and FX 570, mid-range FX 1700 and the NVS 290 and Tesla C870. The latest Nvidia Quadro architecture takes application performance to new levels by featuring the industry's first unified architecture, said Leadtek. Designed to dynamically allocate geometry, shading, pixel, and compute processing power, the latest Nvidia Quadro graphics boards deliver optimized graphics processing unit (GPU) performance. The GPU pipeline efficiency is further enhanced by fast 3D and large texture transfers, while Nvidia's crossbar memory architecture, enables occlusion culling, loss less depth Z-buffer, and color compression. The latest Nvidia Quadro FX graphics solutions are the reference standard for Shader Model 4.0 and next-generation operating systems enabling breakthrough ultra-realistic, real-time visualization applications. Styling and production rendering are integral functions of the design workflow. | Leadtek Nvidia Quadro series graphics cards specification | | | FX 370 | FX 570 | FX 1700 | NVS 290 | | Frame Buffer Memory | 256MB DDR2 | 256MB DDR2 | 512 MB DDR2 | 256MB DDR2 | | Memory Interface | 64-bit | 128-bit | 128-bit | 64-bit | | Memory Bandwidth | 6.4GB/sec | 12.8GB/sec | 12.8 GB/sec | 6.4MB/sec | | Max Power Consumption | 38W | 38W | 42W | 20W | | Graphics Bus | PCI Express x16 | PCI Express x16 | PCI Express x16 | PCI Express x16 & x1 | | Display Connectors | Dual DVI-I | Two DVI-I | Dual DVI-I, HDTV | DMS-59 | | Single Link DVI | Yes (1) | No | No | Yes (2) | | Dual Link DVI | Yes (1) | Yes (2) | Yes (2) | No | | Auxiliary Power Connectors | No | No | No | No | | Number of Slots | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 | | Thermal Solution | Active Fansink | Active Fansink | Active Fansink | Passive Heatsink | | Nvidia SLI Technology | No | No | No | No | Source: Company, compiled by Digitimes, September 2007
