The NVIDIA Quadro is a series of AGP and PCI Express graphics cards created by the NVIDIA Corporation. The cards are designed to accelerate CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and DCC (digital content creation) and are usually found in workstations. This is in contrast to the GeForce line which is specifically targeted at computer gaming. Competing products include the FireGL line of workstation graphics cards by the ATI Technologies, Inc.. Companies such as Matrox and Avid also focus on specialized hardware accelerated graphics cards intended primarily for DCC. Dual-Link DVI ports are needed for very high resolution DVI LCDs such as the 30" Apple Cinema Display, Dell 3007WFP 30" display or the IBM T220/T221 displays (which require 2 Dual-Link DVI connections).
