NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 SDI: specs and benchmarks
Summary
NVIDIA started Quadro FX 4500 SDI sales 30 January 2006. This is a Curie architecture desktop card based on 110 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.05 GHz are supplied, and together with 256 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 33.6 GB/s.
Compatibility-wise, this is triple-slot card attached via PCIe 1.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 267 mm. 1x 6-pin power connector is required, and power consumption is at 116 Watt.
