What this card is and who it serves
The IBM Quadro FX 4500 is a workstation graphics card built for professional 3D workflows. It delivers 512 MB of GDDR3 memory across a 256-bit bus and supports a maximum resolution of 3840 x 2400. The card drives up to two monitors and targets PC users running OpenGL applications. It is not suited for buyers who need modern gaming APIs or higher memory capacities.
Before ordering check your system
Verify that your motherboard provides a PCI Express x16 slot for the host interface. Ensure the chassis has enough length and height clearance for a full-height, dual-slot design. Confirm that your power supply includes the necessary auxiliary connectors for this class of card. The card is not compatible with systems limited to PCI Express x1 or x4 electrical links.
Build quality and daily connectivity
The dual-monitor support lets you span a wide desktop across two displays at 3840 x 2400 each. A 256-bit memory bus helps sustain bandwidth for large textures in OpenGL workloads. Full-height mounting brackets secure the card firmly in standard workstation cases. The design assumes a typical workstation chassis; compact or low-profile enclosures will not accommodate it.

Questions about this item
What comes in the box with the IBM Quadro FX 4500 and do I need to buy cables separately?
The card is supplied as a standalone PCI Express x16 graphics board with 512 MB GDDR3 memory. Display cables or adapters for the two supported monitors are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which version of the Quadro FX 4500 should I choose for my workstation?
This model is the 512 MB GDDR3 variant with a 256-bit bus width and PCI Express x16 interface. No other memory capacities or chipset revisions are offered under this part number.
What does the 3840 x 2400 maximum resolution mean when the card is installed in a real PC?
It indicates the highest digital resolution the GPU can drive across up to two displays simultaneously, provided each monitor and its cable support that resolution and refresh rate.
