The Quadro FX 380 LP was a mid-range professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on December 1st, 2009. Built on the 40 nm process, and based on the GT218S graphics processor, in its GT218 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_1, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The GT218S graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 57 mm² and 260 million transistors. It features 16 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 512 MB GDDR3 memory with the Quadro FX 380 LP, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 550 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 380 LP does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 28 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x DisplayPort. Quadro FX 380 LP is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, 69 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 169 US Dollars.
