NVIDIA Quadro Sync
NVIDIA
Quadro Sync
is a technology designed to synchronize multiple GPUs and displays
to create ultra-high resolution, perfectly synchronized visual outputs.

The NVIDIA Quadro Sync II card installs into an available PCI Express slot in the system, but it does not utilize any electrical or data connections via the PCIe bus.
Key Features
of Quadro Sync Card
- Synchronization: Quadro Sync connects to select NVIDIA RTX and Quadro GPUs, synchronizing them with the attached displays or projectors. This ensures that all displays are perfectly in sync, which is crucial for applications like video walls, simulators, and large-scale visualization systems.
- NVIDIA Mosaic Technology: Quadro Sync enables NVIDIA Mosaic technology, allowing you to scale the resolution of any application across multiple displays seamlessly. This is particularly useful for creating large, high-resolution display setups
- Flexibility
and Scalability: The
system is designed to be flexible and scalable. You can connect up to 32
displays or projectors per system, making it suitable for a wide range of
applications from broadcasting to research labs
- Frame
Lock and Stereo Sync: Quadro
Sync supports frame lock and stereo sync, ensuring that all displays are
perfectly aligned and synchronized, which is essential for stereoscopic 3D
displays and other advanced visualization techniques.
- Compatibility:
It
supports various operating systems, including Windows and Linux, and works with
NVIDIA RTX Enterprise/Quadro drivers.
Comparison with NV Link Bridge
NVIDIA NVLink is a high-speed GPU interconnect that provides a much faster alternative to traditional PCIe-based solutions for multi-GPU systems. By connecting two NVIDIA graphics cards with NVLink, you can scale memory and performance (if the application supports it) to handle your most demanding visual computing tasks. The NVLink bridge also includes some of the same synchronization signals used by Quadro Sync. The table below offers a quick comparison.
NV Link Bridge | Quadro Sync II |
Recommended for basic Mosaic setup with up to 8 Displays | Supports all kind of Mosaic related requirements |
Supports only GPUs with NV link Bridge functionality. Latest ADA Series GPUs are not supported | Support wide range of GPUs including latest ADA series ones |
Support a single node with up to two GPU cards | Supports 8 GPU cards per node and can scale to large clusters with multiple nodes |
It is also not possible to synchronize these GPUs to an external sync | Supports external Sync Sources |
It is also important to note that even though Mosaic mode can be enabled when GPUs are connected through the PCIe bus, it is not synchronized. GPUs must be connected by either NV Link or Quadro Sync card to synchronize the mosaic output.
