NVIDIA Sets New Bar for Workstation Performance and Reliability

NVIDIA (News - Alert) has just unveiled a variety of NVDIA Quadro professional graphic products that offer superior workstation performance and capabilities for professionals in engineering, architectural, manufacturing, media and entertainment companies.

"With NVIDIA Kepler GPUs, we can create fully ray-trace rendered images of a bike before we actually build it," said Nick Schoeps, senior engineer at MotoCzysz, a Portland, Oregon engineering firm that designs, builds and races custom electric motorcycles.

The new lineup includes new high- end cards that were built on the ultra-efficient processing power of the NVIDIA Kepler architecture, the words most efficient and fastest GPU architecture. New cards that have been produced are:

  • NVIDIA Quadro K4000 - A high-end card that delivers blazing-fast performance for graphics-intensive applications. Has 3GB of onboard memory, multi-monitor support and stereo capability in a single-slot configuration.
  • NVIDIA Quadro K2000 - A midrange card that offers outstanding performance with a broad range of professional applications. Comes with 2GB of onboard memory to hold large models and multi-monitor support for enhanced desktop productivity.
  • NVIDIA Quadro K2000D - A variant of the Quadro K2000, with native support for two dual-link DVI display connectors for interfacing with ultra-high-resolution medical imaging displays.
  • NVIDIA Quadro K600 - An entry-level card with great performance and certifications for leading professional applications. Equipped with 1 GB of onboard memory, comes in a low-profile design for maximum usage flexibility.

A next generation streaming multiprocessor engine, SMX, which delivers up to 50 percent quicker visualization performance and more than twice the computing horsepower of previous generation products is also featured. There is also larger and faster onboard GPU memory enabling designers and animators to work with larger modules in richer scenes, while maintaining fluid interactivity during design, simulation and visualization.
