By delivering an order-of-magnitude increase in levels of productivity and capability for advanced visualization, the NVIDIA Quadro Plex VCS offers advanced scalability in a sleek desktop or dense 3U rackmount configuration for demanding professional applications such as those powering multiple streams of 4K high-definition video, 3D styling and design, scientific and medical visualization, oil and gas exploration, or visual simulation and training. NVIDIA Quadro Plex VCS incorporates many innovations that remove the major graphics discontinuity in the professional visual industry, a market known for its innovation in 3D graphics. These new features include: • Unprecedented Levels of Visual Compute Density—Combine up to eight NVIDIA Quadro FX GPUs in a single VCS node, which consists of two NVIDIA Quadro Plex systems attached to a certified SLI technology-capable host system, to take advantage of extremely high-density, graphics-intensive computing. NVIDIA Quadro Plex VCS nodes can also be clustered to further scale visual compute density. • Breakthrough Visual Computing Capability—Scale NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU technology to deliver maximum performance supporting the highest image quality of up to 64X FSAA. Enable frame synchronization, genlock, and frame lock with NVIDIA G-Sync technology to extend scale performance, image quality and resolution. • Massively Scalable Performance—Available in three distinct configurations delivering maximum performance, resolution and image quality to visualize the largest seismic datasets, render photorealistic and interactive designs, or natively drive 4K projection systems. NVIDIA Quadro Plex 1000 VCS is compatible with an officially certified set of x86 32- and 64-bit Intel and AMD processors running Windows and Linux operating systems. NVIDIA Quadro Plex is planned to be certified on all industry- applications and ship in September 2006, with prices starting at $17,500 (US). Email this article  Printer friendly page
