The Quadro FX 330 was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on June 28th, 2004. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV37 graphics processor, in its NV37 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 9.0a. Since Quadro FX 330 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV37 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 91 mm² and 45 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 2 vertex shaders, 4 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. Due to the lack of unified shaders you will not be able to run recent games at all (which require unified shader/DX10+ support). NVIDIA has paired 64 MB DDR2 memory with the Quadro FX 330, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 250 MHz, memory is running at 200 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 330 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 21 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DVI. Quadro FX 330 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, 69 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution.
