SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - February 1, 2010) - Demonstrating its continued technology
leadership and position as the premier graphics solution of choice for
design professionals, NVIDIA Corp. announced today the availability of its
entire
new line of
Quadro® professional graphics solutions for mobile workstations.
Based on the NVIDIA® CUDA™ parallel computing architecture, these
mobile graphics processing units (GPUs) are available to dramatically and
effectively accelerate graphics performance in all of the new generation of
Intel Core i7-based mobile workstations from Dell, Fujitsu Technology
Solutions, HP, and Lenovo, so professionals don't have to sacrifice
exceptional graphics performance for the flexibility of a mobile platform.
From entry-level to high-end, starting with HP's new, 14.1-inch small form
factor, and going up to Dell's new 17-inch powerhouse, NVIDIA is the only
company to have its high-performance mobile graphics solutions included in
all of these next-generation mobile workstations.
Certified for the most demanding CAD, DCC and visualization professional
applications, the new NVIDIA Quadro FX mobile graphics solution lineup
provides a power-efficient, rich experience for manufacturing, design, and
video production users on the go and in the field, and is optimized for and
supports professional applications using OpenGL, Shader Model, Microsoft
DirectX, DirectCompute, and OpenCL standards. The complete line includes:
- Quadro
FX 3800M:
Available in the Dell Precision M6500 (17-inch)
- Quadro
FX 2800M:
Available in the Dell Precision M6500 (17-inch)
- Quadro
FX 1800M:
Available in the HP EliteBook 8540w (15.6-inch)
- Quadro
FX 880M:

All of these new solutions provide large, dedicated graphics frame buffers
(up to 1GB), and superb color fidelity with 30-bit color accuracy
delivering over 1 billion colors. These features enable precise, sharp
images and designs, and support intensive, interactive visualization of
complex assemblies or scenes.
NVIDIA CUDA
parallel computing architecture, which combines high-performance
graphics and high-performance computation, enables breakthrough performance
in areas such as video encoding, image processing, and ray tracing.
NVIDIA
3D Vision™ support for professional stereoscopic viewing is also
included in the new lineup, addressing the growing development of 3D
capable visualization applications from companies such as Autodesk, Siemens
and Agilent.
Additionally, with power consumption and efficiency always a critical issue
for mobile workstation users, the new Quadro FX mobile lineup offers
exceptional power efficiency via NVIDIA PowerMizer® intelligent power
management technology, proactively balancing longer battery life without
sacrificing graphics performance.
From entry-level to high-end, even more mobile workstations built on these
Quadro FX mobile graphics solutions will be announced throughout 2010. Only
one solution provides high-performance mobile graphics performance and the
best user experience -- NVIDIA Quadro FX.
