NVIDIA Quadro NVS 300




The NVIDIA® NVS™ 300 high resolution, multi-display business graphics solution, designed for small and standard form factor systems, delivers reliable hardware and software for a stable business environment. Tested on leading business applications, NVS 300 is capable of driving two VGA, single link DVI, DisplayPort or HDMI displays. With NVIDIA Mosaic™ and NVIDIA nView® technologies built in, you can span and efficiently manage your entire Windows desktop across multiple displays.

High Resolution Display Support
Drives ultra high resolution panels using integrated display technologies, producing phenomenal photorealistic image quality from a range of display connectors. Supports two simultaneous displays, including single-link DVI, DisplayPort, VGA or HDMI.

Intelligent Power Management
NVIDIA Power Management technology reduces overall system energy costs. It intelligently adapts the total power utilization of the graphics subsystem based on the applications being run by the end user. This power optimized design helps reduce Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and increase reliability.

nView Advanced Desktop Software
The NVIDIA nView Advanced Desktop Software delivers maximum flexibility for single-large display or multi-display options, providing unprecedented end-user control of the desktop experience for increased productivity.

Multi-Display Experience with Mosaic Technology
NVIDIA Mosaic technology enables seamless taskbar spanning as well as transparent scaling of any application across up to 8 displays. Works over multiple displays or one ultra-high resolution display using a single or multiple NVS graphics cards1.

1 Mosaic Technology is supported in Win 7 only.
