Features Benefits
NVIDIA® Scalable Geometry Engine™ Dramatically improves geometry performance across a broad range of CAD, DCC
and medical applications, enabling you to work interactively with models and
scenes that are an order of magnitude more complex than ever before.

GPU Tessellation with Shader Model 5.0 Quadro Tessellation Engines automatically generate finely detailed geometry, for
cinematic quality environments and scenes, without sacrificing performance.

6 GB2 of GDDR5 Memory with Industry’s first GPU with 6 GB2 of memory and memory bandwidth of 144 GB/sec for display
Ultra-Fast Bandwidth of large models and complex scenes, as well as computation of massive datasets.

NVIDIA® GigaThread™ Engine Provides up to 10x faster context switching compared to previous generation
architectures, concurrent kernel execution, and improved thread block scheduling.

Dual Copy Engines Enables the highest rates of parallel data processing and concurrent
throughput between the GPU and host accelerating techniques such
as ray tracing, color grading and physical simulation.

NVIDIA® Parallel DataCache™ Supports a true cache hierarchy combined with on-chip shared memory.
L1 and L2 caches drive exceptional throughput, accelerating features
such as real-time ray tracing, physics and texture filtering.

NVIDIA® SLI® Mosaic Technology Enables transparent and tear-free scaling of any application, across up to four display
channels, including support for 4K projection, while delivering full performance from
a single SLI certified workstation. Available on Quadro SLI certified platforms only.
