Overview
NVIDIA Quadro4 980 XGL Graphics Card
 
Models
AA623A – For HP xw series workstations
A9655A – For HP zx series workstations
Introduction
The new mid-range NVIDIA Quadro4 980 XGL Graphics Controller offers ultimate workstation performance and features at an affordable price. With programmable shaders, dual DVI-I display support and the new nView software, the Quadro4 980 XGL is the most powerful and robust mid-range 3d workstation graphics solution on the market. The Quadro4 980 XGL represents a revolutionary combination of performance and features, including 128-MB DDR memory, nfiniteFX II programmable graphics pipeline and performance optimized OpenGL and DirectX drivers. Features also include a unified memory architecture, which dynamically allocates memory between graphics subsystems, Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II, which optimally load balances across NVIDIAs patented crossbar memory controller, resulting in maximum memory bandwidth utilization. The Quadro4 980 XGL Graphics Controller is a perfect solution for the mid-range CAD and professional DCC user communities requiring breakthrough application performance.
