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 GB of GDDR5 Memory with Ultra-Fast Bandwidth Industry‘s first GPU with 6 GB of memory and memory bandwidth of 144 GB/sec for display 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.
