The FX5600 product line refers to two distinct graphics cards from NVIDIA: the professional NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 and the consumer-grade GeForce FX 5600. The Quadro FX 5600 is an ultra-high-end professional graphics solution featuring 1.5GB of GDDR3 memory on a 384-bit interface, a GPU clock of 600 MHz, and support for DirectX 10/Shader Model 4.0, designed for CAD, DCC, and visualization. The GeForce FX 5600 (based on the NV31 GPU) was a mainstream consumer card launched in March 2003, typically featuring 128MB or 256MB of DDR memory on a 128-bit bus, a core clock of 325 MHz, and support for DirectX 9.0a. Specific specifications vary significantly between the two models, with the Quadro being a later, much more powerful professional card (G80 GPU, dual-slot) compared to the GeForce (NV31 GPU, single-slot).
