About the NVIDIA Quadro4 500 XGL GPU

The NVIDIA Quadro4 500 XGL is an end-of-life workstation graphics card that released in Q1 2002. It is built on the Celsius GPU microarchitecture (codename NV17) and is manufactured on a 150 nm process.

Memory

The 4 500 XGL has 128 MB of SDR memory, with a 166 MHz memory clock and a 128 bit interface. This gives it a memory bandwidth of 2.66 Gb/s, which affects how fast it can transfer data to and from memory. GPU memory stores temporary data that helps the GPU with complex math and graphics operations. More memory is generally better, as not having enough can cause performance bottlenecks.

Cores and Clock Speeds

Complementing the processing units are 4 texture mapping units (TMUs) for efficient texture filtering and 4 render output units (ROPs) for pixel processing.

Compatibility & Power Consumption

The 4 500 XGL is a compact, low-profile graphics card that fits into 1 PCIe expansion slot. It supports 1x LFH60 display connections. NVIDIA recommends a power supply of at least 200 W to handle the GPU's power consumption. Using a smaller power supply may result in system crashes and potentially damage your hardware.
