Quadro DCC: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started Quadro DCC sales 14 May 2001. This is a Kelvin architecture desktop card based on 150 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 64 MB of SDR memory clocked at 0.23 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 3.68 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via AGP 4x interface.

Size and compatibility

This section provides details about the physical dimensions of Quadro DCC and its compatibility with other computer components. This information is useful when selecting a computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. For desktop graphics cards, it includes details about the interface and bus (for motherboard compatibility) and additional power connectors (for power supply compatibility).

Interface	AGP 4x
Width	1-slot
Supplementary power connectors	None

Memory

Parameters of memory installed on Quadro DCC: its type, size, bus, clock and resulting bandwidth. Note that GPUs integrated into processors have no dedicated memory and use a shared part of system RAM instead.

Memory type	SDR
Maximum RAM amount	64 MB	of 192 (Radeon Instinct MI300X)
Memory bus width	128 Bit	of 8192 (Radeon Instinct MI250X)
Memory clock speed	230 MHz	of 23000 (GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER)
Memory bandwidth	3.68 GB/s	of 3276 (Aldebaran)

Video outputs and ports

Types and number of video connectors present on Quadro DCC. As a rule, this section is relevant only for desktop reference graphics cards, since for notebook ones the availability of certain video outputs depends on the laptop model, while non-reference desktop models can (though not necessarily will) bear a different set of video ports.

Display Connectors

1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video

API support

APIs supported by Quadro DCC, sometimes including their particular versions.

DirectX	8.0
OpenGL	1.3	of 4.6 (GeForce RTX 4090)
OpenCL	N/A
Vulkan	N/A
