PNY NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 256 MB PCI-E x1

NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 by PNY Technologies graphics boards for x1 PCIE deliver a new level of performance, quality and stability to professional 2D multi-display environments. The innovative NVIDIA unified architecture dynamically allocates geometry, shader, and compute processing power to efficiently deliver optimized performance. The 256MB DDR2 frame buffer makes the NVS 290 Microsoft® Vista™ ready and capable of displaying the full Windows Aero user interface. Two VGA connectors, via the included DMS-59 to dual VGA adapter cable, offer outstanding image quality at resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 85Hz.

Business professionals who spend their days in front of a workstation understand the importance and value of a solution that helps them work more efficiently. Whether it’s tracking securities across multiple displays or managing several desktop applications, corporate users are looking for the right solution to fit their business requirements. The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 by PNY for x1 PCIE delivers the compatibility, quality and performance that corporate users demand.

The NVS 290 for x1 PCIE is specifically designed to deliver outstanding 2D graphics performance when installed in an x1 PCIE slot. If more than two monitors are required this board can be used in conjunction with the NVS 290 for x16 PCIE card to support a total of four displays (PNYPN VCQ290NVS-PCIEX16-PB).

Offering an enriched 3D user interface, increased application performance, and the highest image quality, NVIDIA Quadro graphics boards and NVIDIA OpenGL ICD drivers are optimized for 32- and 64-bit architectures to enable the Windows® Vista™ experience.

Delivers high throughput for interactive visualization of large models and high-performance for real time processing of large textures and frames and enables the highest quality and resolution full-scene antialiasing (FSAA).

Enables support for small form factor systems.

The NVIDIA® nView® hardware and software technology combination delivers maximum flexibility for multi-display options, and provides unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience. NVIDIA GPUs are designed to support multi-displays.

NVIDIA® PureVideo™ technology is the combination of high-definition video processors and software that delivers unprecedented picture clarity, smooth video, accurate color, and precise image scaling for SD and HD video content. Features include, high-quality scaling, spatial temporal de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and high quality HD video playback from Blu-Ray or HD-DVD.

400MHz RAMDACs drive both analog and digital displays, with single-link TMDS transmitters supporting high-resolution digital panels (up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz) -- which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.

Quadro NVS graphics products deliver the industry’s best image quality, sharpness and pixel tracking for analog LCDs, DLPs and plasma displays with resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75Hz.

With a passive heatsink, accoustics is not a problem to achieve a quieter desktop environment.

The NVIDIA UDA guarantees forward and backward compatibility with software drivers. Simplifies upgrading to a new NVIDIA product because the latest driver supports all current NVIDIA products (Quadro NVS 280 for PCI by PNY supported on a separate driver branch).
