Quadro FX 4500 512MB GDDR3
Professional graphics card for workstations using the PCI Express x16 interface. Designed for engineers, designers and technical users who need certified OpenGL 2.1 stability in CAD, DCC and visualisation applications. Dual DVI-I outputs drive two displays at up to 3840 x 2400 at 41 Hz.
512MB 256-bit memory and 24 pipelines
The 512MB GDDR3 frame buffer at 1050 MHz effective clock feeds 24 pixel pipelines across a 256-bit bus, giving headroom for large assemblies, high-resolution textures and multi-monitor layouts. Complex scenes exceeding the 512MB limit or requiring newer shader models will exhaust capacity and fall back to system memory.
Upgrades from earlier Quadro FX boards
Replaces single-slot Quadro FX 4000 boards, adding 2-way SLI capability, a second DVI-I port and double the memory bandwidth for multi-display workflows. The jump is justified when projects demand dual 3840 x 2400 output, SLI scaling or the 512MB buffer; otherwise the older card remains adequate.

Questions about this item
Will the Quadro FX 4500 fit in my older PCI Express x16 slot?
Yes, the card uses a standard PCI Express x16 interface and occupies two ATX slots; ensure your chassis has the physical space and a 256-bit memory bus is supported by the board.
How can I verify the 512 MB GDDR3 memory is running at the rated 1050 MHz after installation?
Open the NVIDIA control panel or GPU-Z; the memory clock should read 1050 MHz effective and the core clock 430 MHz, confirming the 24 pixel pipelines are active.
Which cables come with the card and what must I source separately for dual-monitor use?
The box includes the dual-slot air-cooled card with two DVI-I ports and an S-Video connector; VGA adapters for the DVI-I ports are supplied, so only DVI or VGA cables for your monitors are needed.
