PCI Express
®
PCI Express architecture ushers in extraordinary enhancements doubling the effective bandwidth
to meet the demands of the most intensive next-generation applications
Pushing Visual Boundaries
ADVANCED VISUALIZATION SOLUTIONS
PNY Technologies Inc. delivers significant graphics
performance enhancements to professionals with a
full line of NVIDIA Quadro® graphics boards that capitalize on the revolutionary PCI Express™ interconnect standard. The new PCI-enabled NVIDIA
Quadro by PNY Technologies workstation graphics
solutions provide top-to-bottom selection of workstation boards that offer more bandwidth than AGPbased alternatives and faster processing power for
professional 2D and 3D applications.
THE BENEFITS OF PCI EXPRESS
Workstations with PCI Express deliver high performance in video, graphics, multimedia, and other professional applications. The new PCI Express highperformance I/O interconnect standard doubles the
previous AGP 8x bus bandwidth to 8GB/sec. bidirectionally. Taking advantage of this next generation technology, NVIDIA Quadro by PNY
Technologies graphics boards based on PCI Express
feature isochronous data transfer to reduce system
bottlenecks and bi-directional data transfer for blazing fast read-back performance– effectively doubling
the capabilities of AGP cards.
SUPPORT FOR SLI
The new high-end
NVIDIA Quadro FX1400,
FX 3400 and FX 4400 by
PNY Technologies
graphics board based on
PCI express supports
NVIDIA SLI (Scaleable
Link Interface). SLI
allows users to plug two
FX1400, FX 3400 and
FX 4400 graphics boards into multi-GPU PCI Expresscompatible motherboards for true scalable graphics performance.
