The Quadro FX 380 was a mid-range professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 30th, 2009. Built on the 65 nm process, and based on the G96 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 G96 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 144 mm² and 314 million transistors. Unlike the fully unlocked GeForce 9500 GS, which uses the same GPU but has all 32 shaders enabled, NVIDIA has disabled some shading units on the Quadro FX 380 to reach the product's target shader count. It features 16 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 8 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 256 MB GDDR3 memory with the Quadro FX 380, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 450 MHz, memory is running at 700 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 380 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 34 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI. Quadro FX 380 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 interface. The card measures 198 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 129 US Dollars.
