Introduction

Designed for entry level professional 3D applications, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 delivers on value without compromising on quality, precision, performance, and programmability. The Quadro FX 540 provides all the Quadro FX family's advanced features, benefits and certifications on a wide set of CAD, DCC, and scientific visualization applications, plus support for HD component output. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 540 features 128 MB DDR memory, 128-bit memory interface and 8.8 GB/s memory bandwidth.

Performance & Features

Features include a unified memory architecture, which dynamically allocates memory between graphics subsystems. Lightspeed Memory Architecture (LMA) II optimally load balances across NVIDIA's patented crossbar memory controller, resulting in maximum memory bandwidth utilization. Other features include:

128 MB DDR
Single DVI, single VGA, and HD component output
Third-generation pixel and vertex programmability
128-bit IEEE floating-point precision graphics pipeline
128-bit color precision
12-bit sub-pixel precision
65,536 fragment instruction/65,536 vertex instruction
3D volumetric textures
Hardware OpenGL overlays
Hardware accelerated antialiased points and lines
Hardware accelerated two-sided lighting
Hardware accelerated clipping planes
3rd generation occlusion culling
Rotated Grid full-scene antialiasing (4x)
Optimized and certified for OpenGL 1.5 and DirectX 9.0c applications
Multi-display productivity
PCIe x16 BUS
