The Quadro DCC was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 14th, 2001. Built on the 150 nm process, and based on the NV20 graphics processor, in its NV20GL A5 variant, the card supports DirectX 8.1. Since Quadro DCC does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV20 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 128 mm² and 57 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 1 vertex shader 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 SDR memory with the Quadro DCC, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 200 MHz, memory is running at 230 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro DCC does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Quadro DCC is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface.
