The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 professional 3D graphics board delivers high-end workstation graphics for CAD, DCC and visualization applications, featuring NVIDIA's new unified architecture.

The Quadro FX 3700 professional graphics board dynamically allocates geometry, shading, pixel processing, and compute power to deliver optimized GPU performance while enabling Energy Star power savings. The reference standard for Shader Model 4.0, the

Quadro FX 3700 enables next-generation, ultra-realistic, real-time OpenGL® and DirectX 10 visualization applications. With two duallink DVI connectors, the Quadro FX 3700 also offers the industry's best image quality at resolutions up to 2560 x 1600 @

60Hz.

The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3700 takes computer-aided design (CAD), digital content creation (DCC), and visualization applications to a new level of interactivity by enabling unprecedented programmability and precision. The industry's leading workstation applications leverage these capabilities to deliver hardware-accelerated features, performance, and quality not found in other professional graphics solutions at this time.
