Built for use with professional applications, such as Autodesk AutoCAD, the NVIDIA Quadro 400 GPU provides up to 5X faster performance over high-end consumer gaming cards. It also gives up to 10X improvement when running industry leading CAD/CAM applications.

The Quadro 400 GPU also offers excellent power efficiency, consuming less than 35 watts, and its low-profile footprint means it offers the flexibility to fit into any workstation, including small form-factor systems.

With 512 MB of DDR3 memory, the Quadro 400 processor enables professionals to interact with a wide range of design models. It also provides high visual fidelity, featuring a 30-bit (10-bits per color) color engine with a dynamic range of over one billion color variations. Quadro 400 drivers are optimized and certified on leading professional applications.

Additional features of the new Quadro 400 GPU include:

  • Unified Driver Architecture – Guarantees forward and backward compatibility with professional application software drivers, and simplifies upgrading to a new solution.
  • Hardware 3D Window Clipping  – Accelerated clip regions enable faster data transfer between a window and the frame buffer to improve overall graphics performance.
  • High-Quality Display Connectivity – Drives ultra-high-resolution panels, producing phenomenal image quality, supporting two active connectors, including dual-link DVI with up to 3840 x 2400 resolution @ 24Hz on each panel, and DisplayPort (DP) with up to 2560 x 1600 resolution.
  • NVIDIA® Mosaic™ Technology – Enhances workspace across up to eight displays (using one card per two displays), enabling seamless taskbar spanning, as well as transparent scaling of any application.  Works over multiple displays or a single high-resolution display, and with NVIDIA nView® desktop management software.

The NVIDIA Quadro 400 processor also supports NVIDIA 3D Vision™ and 3D Vision Pro active shutter glasses 3D technology that delivers crystal-clear, stereoscopic 3D visualization for the most immersive 3D experience, ranging from desktop workstations to collaborative work spaces.

Designed, Built and Engineered by NVIDIA to the Highest Standards of Quality

Google Fiber Makes It’s First Move, Offers 1Gbps Ultra High Speed Internet

March 31, 2011 by Raj Agrawal Leave a Comment

With a great response received from all over the country, Google has chosen to build their first Ultra High Speed Fiber Network at Kansas City, Kansas (USA).

More than a year ago, Google had slipped in a message seeking information from interested municipalities to test and build their ultra high speed fiber-to-the-home network around United States offering the users a tremendous data transfer speed of 1 gigabit per second.

As said before, this is a great and a very significant step toward introducing the amazing next generation web apps and technologies, also considering Google’s own set of web applications. It hasn’t been revealed to how long the will take Google’s fiber network to reach the other countries and revolutionize the web experience globally. There is a more obvious answer to it, being a matter of time and money.

Google’s Chrome OS and the proposed 1Gbps internet connectivity service are closely connected. The operating systems based on cloud computing, like the Chrome OS itself, need a sound and fast internet connectivity between the entire network and the Google Fiber Network will serve that purpose.
