NVIDIA QUADRO P400

DELIVERS GREAT MAINSTREAM PROFESSIONAL APPLICATION PERFORMANCE

The new NVIDIA^® Quadro^® P400 combines the latest NVIDIA Quadro Pascal GPU architecture with 2GB of ultra-fast on-board memory to deliver great performance for a range of professional applications. A single-slot, low-profile form factor makes it compatible with even the most space and power-constrained chassis. Support for three 4K displays (4096 x 2160 at 60Hz) with HDR color gives you a wide visual workspace to view your work in extremely high resolution.

Professionals are increasingly looking to lower the total cost of their computing solutions. Today’s modern multi-application workflows require users to evaluate the impact of workstation functionality and performance against cost to ensure that any savings achieved by lower cost computing solutions will not result in schedule impacts and business loss.

With support for DisplayPort 1.4, the P400 can drive resolutions of up to 5K (5120 x 2880) at 60 Hz from a single cable. You can combine up to four NVIDIA Quadro GPUs in one system to simplify the deployment of display walls or other immersive display environments. DisplayPort 1.4 offers HDR color support, enabling brighter displays, more saturated colors and a greater than 10,000 to 1 contrast ratio.

Features

NVIDIA QUADRO P400

GPU PERFORMANCE FEATURES

Pascal GPU Technology

Based on state-of-art 14nm FinFET process technology with 256 CUDA cores, the NVIDIA Quadro P400 provides performance and efficiency for CAD, DCC and visualization professionals in small and power efficient form factor.

Frame Buffer and Memory Bandwidth

2GB GDDR5 memory with up to 32 GB/s memory bandwidth delivers the performance boost and responsiveness demanded by entry level graphics applications.

Pascal Dynamic Load Balancing

Dynamically allocate GPU resources for graphics and compute tasks as needed to maximize resource utilization.

H.264 and HEVC Encode/Decode Engines

Deliver faster than real-time performance for transcoding, video editing, and other encoding applications with one dedicated H.264 and HEVC encode engines and a dedicated decode engine that are independent of 3D/compute pipeline.

NVIDIA GPU Boost 3.0

Achieve higher application performance without exceeding the power and thermal envelope of the board. Pascal GPU technology maximizes the boost potential of the GPU.

IMAGE QUALITY FEATURES

Full-Scene Antialiasing (FSAA)

Dramatically reduce visual aliasing artifacts or "jaggies" with up to 64X FSAA for unparalleled image quality and highly realistic scenes.

16K Texture and Render Processing

Texture from and render to 16K x 16K surfaces to support applications that demand the highest resolution and quality image processing.

Pascal Memory Compression

Increase bandwidth by up to 20% by reducing the amount of data fetched from memory for each frame with fourth generation, lossless delta compression.

DISPLAY FEATURES

NVIDIA Quadro MOSAIC Technology

Transparently scale the desktop and applications across up to 4 GPUs and 16 displays from a single workstation while delivering full performance and image quality, optimized for still image visualizations and unified desktops.

DisplayPort 1.4

Support four 4K monitors at 60Hz, or one 5K at 60Hz, the P400 supports HDR color for 4K at 60Hz for 10/12b HEVC decode and up to 4K at 60Hz for 10b HEVC encode.

HDR Ready

HDR (High Dynamic Range), a Windows only feature, expands the range of contrast and color significantly. Bright parts of the image can get brighter and dark portions inky black, so the image seems to have more depth. Colors get expanded to show more bright reds, green, blues and everything in between. HDR’s wide color gamut presents colors, brightness, and black levels with unprecedented fidelity. An HDR capable display or TV is required to take advantage of the NVIDIA Quadro board’s HDR output capability.

NVIDIA NVIEW Advanced Desktop Software

Gain unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience for increased productivity in single large display or multi-display environments.

NVIDIA Quadro View
