The Quadro2 Pro was a professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on March 22nd, 2001. Built on the 180 nm process, and based on the NV15 graphics processor, in its NV15GL A4 variant, the card supports DirectX 7.0. Since Quadro2 Pro does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The NV15 graphics processor is a relatively small chip with a die area of only 88 mm² and 25 million transistors. It features 4 pixel shaders and 0 vertex shaders, 8 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 Quadro2 Pro, which are connected using a 128-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 200 MHz, memory is running at 250 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro2 Pro does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is not exactly known. Display outputs include: 1x DVI, 1x VGA, 1x S-Video. Quadro2 Pro is connected to the rest of the system using an AGP 4x interface.
