What's on this page?
Whether creating the next blockbuster film, providing a diagnosis of a patient's condition or extending the frontiers of science, professionals push the boundaries of realism, performance and quality everyday.
Quadro FX 4800 For Mac delivers ultra-fast performance and realistic effects, enabling industry-leading applications to visualize and solve the world's most demanding digital content creation, 3D design, and scientific challenges. Along with superb graphics the innovative NVIDIA CUDA parallel computing architecture for Quadro GPUs enables breakthrough performance in areas such as interactive ray tracing, finite element analysis, and computational fluid dynamics.
In addition to the latest Mac OS X-based applications, Boot Camp delivers full Quadro benefits and acceleration when running professional Windows applications.
Designed, tested, and built specifically for the Mac Pro, Quadro FX 4800 For Mac gives professionals the ability to explore new realms of visual computing.
1.5 GB GDDR3 GPU Memory with Ultra Fast Memory Bandwidth
Massive 1.5GB frame buffer and memory bandwidth up to 76.8 GB/sec. 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).
128-Bit Precision Graphics Pipeline
Enables sophisticated mathematical computations to maintain high accuracy, resulting in unmatched visual quality. Full IEEE 32-bit floating-point precision per color component (RGBA) delivers millions of color variations with the broadest dynamic range.
64-Bit Floating Point Precision
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through 64-bit floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
Advanced Color Compression, Early Z-Cull
Improved pipeline color compression and early z-culling to increase effective bandwidth and improve rendering efficiency and performance.
Cg High-Level Graphics Shader Language
Cg for graphics is a high-level, open-standard programming language for OpenGL that takes advantage of the power of programmable GPUs. Quadro programmable graphics pipelines leverage high-level shading languages to enable the creation and integration of real-time photorealistic effects into 3D models, scenes, and designs.
Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)
Up to 32x FSAA dramatically reduces visual aliasing artifacts or jaggies resulting in highly realistic scenes.
NVIDIA CUDA Architecture
A parallel computing processor architecture exposed through a C language environment and tool suite in combination with high performance visualization, CUDA unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as real-time ray tracing, video encoding, and interactive volume rendering.
Hardware-Accelerated Pixel Read-Back
Up to 2.4GB/sec pixel read-back performance delivers massive host throughput.
Highest Workstation Application Performance
Next-generation architecture enables over 2x improvement in geometry and fill rates with the industry's highest performance for professional CAD, DCC, and scientific applications.
High-Performance Display Outputs
400MHz RAMDACs and two dual-link DVI digital connectors drive the highest resolution digital displays available on the market.
8K Texture and Render Processing
The ability to texture from and render to 8K x 8K surfaces. Beneficial for applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing. Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability Shader Model 4.0 Reference standard for Shader model 4.0 enabling a higher level of performance and realistic effects for OpenGL and next generation DirectX 10 (via Boot Camp) industry-leading professional applications.
NVIDIA High Precision High Dynamic Range (HDR) Technology
Sets new standards for image clarity and quality through floating point capabilities in shading, filtering, texturing, and blending. Enables unprecedented rendered image quality for visual effects processing.
NVIDIA PureVideo HD Technology
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 discs.
NVIDIA Unified GPU Architecture
Industry's first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance.
PCI Express 2.0 Compliant
Doubles the data transfer rate up to 5 GT/sec per lane for an aggregate bandwidth of 16 GB/sec bi-directional (8 GB/sec in each direction).
Professional 3D Stereo Solutions

Why People Like You Chose Powermax
Thanks for all the information, it is a great help. I will let you know how it all comes out - and may have to ask you for some more help. I appreciate your consideration - actually this is the way I have been treated by everyone I have worked with at PowerMax. I wouldn't buy a Mac anyplace else. This is my second one from PowerMax.
Take care,
I'm VERY happy with the iMac I purchased from you, and I would definitely say this is the best support I've had. I also want to thank you for PowerMax's support of the military by shipping Apple products to APO addresses. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting another Mac from you soon!
Thank You,
I would like to thank you for the prompt response to the drive situation. I received the drive on Wednesday afternoon, installed it on Thursday and everything went as smooth as could be. My experience with PowerMax has been a pleasant one, and I am looking forward to doing business again in the future. Once again thank you for all of your help.
Thanks,
BIG kudos to your company for shipping to APOs. I love Apple and all their products, but their lack of support to Service Members deployed and stationed overseas has been a sore point with me for a long time!!! It is refreshing to find a company that understands that Soldiers in Iraq (and Afghanistan, and Germany, and Japan, etc.) deserve easy access to Macs as well as anyone else.
Thank you for your help.
Just wanted to thank you for the personal service. I appreciate that you called me on my credit card problem, and have kept me updated on the status of my order. I place orders on line several times a month, and sometimes customer service is lacking.
Thank you, again.
