The Importance of Professional Grade Graphics: Driver optimizations and stability

• Professional graphics cards have drivers that are tested and tuned for professional graphics applications to deliver optimum results, and driver release cycles that are optimized for stability.

• In addition, drivers in professional cards often enable performance enhancements for certain applications that are not available using consumer cards.

20

The Importance of Professional Grade Graphics: Lifecycle management

• Lifecycle management - a commitment that the hardware will be available and serviced for a given amount of time – is a key component to professional graphics and allows you to standardize on hardware configurations for providing stability and easier manageability.

• Conversely, consumer graphics hardware is often updated or changed in as little as a few months. This can cause churn and may increase downtime for your business.

21

The Importance of Professional Grade Graphics: Specialized features

Application-specific features & optimizations are often available only on professional-level graphics cards:

• Direct-X and openGL professional graphics language support

• Custom plug-in accelerator drivers

• 30-bit color support for increased color resolution

• Frame lock/genlock support for synchronization of frames and video sources

• Serial digital interface (SDI) connections for interfacing to a digital video pipeline

• Specialized features for virtual (multiple OS) environments

• Tiling of multiple displays
