The NVIDIA Quadro K420 workstation card combines power-efficient 3D application performance & capability, innovative multi-display capabilities, and highly reliable thermal design in a power-friendly, low-profile form factor. This makes it the ideal graphics solution for professionals.

The flexible single-slot and low-profile form factor makes it compatible with even the most space- and power-constrained chassis. In addition, it delivers a complete solution including the appropriate adapters, cables, brackets, software installation disc and documentation to ensure a quick and successful installation.

GPU Features

GPU Features

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.

NVIDIA Streaming Multiprocessor

Delivers more processing performance and efficiency through this new, innovative streaming multiprocessor design that allows a greater percentage of space to be applied to processing cores versus control logic.

Bindless Textures

Dramatically increases the number of unique textures available to shaders at run-time, enabling vastly more different materials and richer texture detail in scenes.

H.264 Encoder

Dedicated H.264 encode engine that independent of 3D/compute pipeline and delivers faster than real-time performance for transcoding, video editing, and other encoding applications (requires application support).

NVIDIA Multi-GPU Technology

NVIDIA Multi-GPU powered workstations combine the visualization and interactive design capability of multiple GPUs, by leveraging any combination of Quadro and Tesla GPUs to intelligently scale the performance of your application and dramatically speed up your production workflow.

Ultra-Quiet Design

Silent cooling design enables lower acoustics for an ultra-quiet desktop environment.

Image Quality

Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)

Up to 64X FSAA for dramatically reducing visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies," resulting in unparalled image quality and highly realistic scenes.

NVIDIA Fxaa And Txaa

Reduces visible aliasing and delivers higher image quality without the performance hit by harnessing the power of the GPU's CUDA cores and new film-style AA techniques.

GPU Tessellation

Quadro Tessellation Engines automatically generate finely detailed geometry for cinematic quality environments and scenes, without sacrificing performance.

16K Texture and Render Processing

Provides the ability to texture from and render to 16K x 16K surfaces. Beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing.

Display Features

NVIDIA Quadro Mosaic Technology

Enables transparent scaling of the desktop and applications across up to 16 displays from 4 GPUs from a single workstation while delivering full performance and image quality.

Multi-Display Support

The all-new display engine in the NVIDIA GPU drives up to four displays simultaneously, whether they’re directly connected to the board or connected using a single cable by using DisplayPort 1.2’s new multi-streaming capabilities. With support for the next-generation DisplayPort 1.2 standard, each DisplayPort connector is also capable of driving ultra-high resolutions like 3840 x2160 at 60 Hz with 30-bit color. The flexible display connectivity of the Quadro family makes it easy to deploy multiple displays across a desktop, build an expansive digital signage wall, or create a sophisticated stereoscopic 3D CAVE environment.

OpenGL Quad Buffered Stereo Support

Provides a smooth and immersive 3D Stereo experience for professional applications.

Software Support

NVIDIA CUDA Parallel Computing Architecture

Quadro solutions leverage general-purpose GPU computing using standard programming languages like C/C++ and Fortran, and emerging APIs such as OpenCL and Direct Compute. This broad adoption of CUDA accelerates techniques like ray tracing, video and image processing, and computation fluid dynamics.

NVIDIA Enterprise-Management Tools

Exhaustive tools for maximizing your system uptime by enabling seamless wide-scale deployment. This allows remote query and control of graphics and display settings for systems spread across installations.
