The NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 mid-range graphics product is the industry's best price performance workstation graphics solutions and provide the optimal blend of quality/ precision/ performance/ programmability for all professional 3D applications. Featuring a 256MB GDDR3 frame buffer memory/ 256-bit memory interface/ and up to 40.0GB/sec. memory bandwidth/ NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 mid-range product delivers unprecedented segment-leading performance and quality.

Leadtek Quadro FX 1500 features dual 400 MHz integrated RAMDACs and two dual-link DVI parts. Some high resolution panels such as Apple's 30-inch Cinema HD Display require dual-link DVI to drive its massive amount of pixels. The 30-inch Cinema Display has a native resolution of 2560 x 1600/ which exceeds the bandwidth a single TMDS link can deliver. To support two 30-inch Cinema Displays/ you need a special mid-range card with two dual-link DVI ports such as FX 1500. It supports a maximum 2048 1536 32bpp at 85Hz resolution over VGA port and a 3840 2400 32bpp resolution over digital port. The Dual-link TMDS transmitters support ultra-high-resolution panels which result in amazing image quality producing detailed photorealistic images.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500 by Leadtek assumes the consistently popular price-performance position in the family. Even with its accessible price/ the FX 1500 offers an advanced feature set/ outperforms some competitor's high-end professional graphics products/ and advances features and programmability at the top end of the price/performance segment.
