The Quadro FX 3500 was an enthusiast-class professional graphics card by NVIDIA, launched on May 22nd, 2006. Built on the 90 nm process, and based on the G71 graphics processor, the card supports DirectX 9.0c. Since Quadro FX 3500 does not support DirectX 11 or DirectX 12, it might not be able to run all the latest games. The G71 graphics processor is an average sized chip with a die area of 196 mm² and 278 million transistors. It features 20 pixel shaders and 7 vertex shaders, 20 texture mapping units, and 16 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 256 MB GDDR3 memory with the Quadro FX 3500, which are connected using a 256-bit memory interface. The GPU is operating at a frequency of 450 MHz, memory is running at 660 MHz.
Being a single-slot card, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 does not require any additional power connector, its power draw is rated at 80 W maximum. Display outputs include: 2x DVI, 1x S-Video. Quadro FX 3500 is connected to the rest of the system using a PCI-Express 1.0 x16 interface. The card measures 173 mm in length, 111 mm in width, and features a single-slot cooling solution. Its price at launch was 1599 US Dollars.
