Individually configurable.

transtec Workstations can be configured with the right graphics solution to suit individual requirements:

• Graphics cards from the NVIDIA® Quadro® NVS series are designed for professional 2-D applications in the business sector, for applications in brokerage or for general business use. Up to four monitors can be managed efficiently and reliably in multi-display environments.

• The NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics cards from the FX series are ideal as high-end graphics cards for professional 3-D applications. Due to their extremely high performance capacity and precision as well as flexible programming options, they are used for Mechanical Computer-Aided Design (MCAD), Digital Content Creation (DCC), Non-Linear Video Editing (NLE) and visualisation applications. NVIDIA® Quadro® graphics cards are certified with all professional workstation programs.

• The high-performance option with NVIDIA® SLI™
  The transtec Graphics Workstation can be optimally configured with two NVIDIA® PCI Express graphics cards whose power is bundled in parallel mode via an SLI bridge. The high-performance NVIDIA® SLI™ technology combines the geometry and fill rate performance of two graphics processors to attain a maximum in graphics performance and quality.

SLI technology

The NVIDIA® SLI™ technology for NVIDIA Quadro® graphics cards is an innovative platform for professionals; it allows a dynamical scaling of the graphics performance, improved image quality and an increased screen area.
The parallel running of two PCI Express graphics cards via an SLI bridge allows NVIDIA® SLI^™ technology to boast different operating modes:

• SLI frame rendering
  
  • Graphics output on one single monitor.
  • Clear increase in application performance.

• SLI multi-screen mode
  • Execution of an application on two screens.
  • Distributed between multiple monitors.
• SLI FSAA (Full Screen Anti Aliasing)
• • Graphics output on one single screen.
  • Clear increase in image quality.
