The Quadro NVS 290 was a mid-range professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on October 4th, 2007. Built on the 80 nm process, and based on the G86S graphics processor, in its G86-827-A2 variant, 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 G86S graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 127 mm² and 210 million transistors. It features 16 shading units, 8 texture mapping units, and 4 ROPs. NVIDIA has paired 256 MB DDR2 memory with the Quadro NVS 290, which are connected using a 64-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 459 MHz, memory is running at 400 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 290 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 21 W maximum. Display outputs include: 1x DMS-59. Quadro NVS 290 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface. The card measures 168 mm in length, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 149 US Dollars.
