The Quadro4 550 XGL was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on February 19th, 2002. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV17 graphics processor, in its NV17 GL variant, the card supports DirectX 7.0. Since Quadro4 550 XGL does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV17 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 65 mm² and 29 million transistors. It features 2 pixel shaders and 0 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 DDR memory with the Quadro4 550 XGL, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 270 MHz, memory is running at 200 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro4 550 XGL does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x LFH60. Quadro4 550 XGL is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface.
