The Quadro CX was an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on November 11th, 2008. Built on the 55 nm process, and based on the GT200B graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 11.1. Even though it supports DirectX 11, the feature level is only 10_0, which can be problematic with many DirectX 11 & DirectX 12 titles. The GT200B graphics processor is a large chip with a die area of 470 mm² and 1,400 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce GTX 285, which uses the same GPU but has all 240 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the Quadro CX to reach the product's target shader count. It features 192 shading units, 64 texture mapping units, and 24 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 1,536 MB GDDR3 memory with the Quadro CX, which are connected using a 384-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 602 MHz, memory is running at 800 MHz.
Being a dual-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro CX draws power from 1x 6-pin power connector, with power draw rated at 150 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 2x DisplayPort, 1x S-Video. Quadro CX is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 267 mm in length, and features a dual-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 1999 US Dollars.

GT200B GPU Notes

PureVideo HD: VP2
VDPAU: Feature Set A

GT200B, commonly printed on the chip package as G200-xxx-Bx is an optical shrink of the G200 core to the newer 55 manufacturing process of TSMC. It helped shrink the core's energy and thermal footprints to a level that even facilitated building a dual-GPU accelerator
