NVIDIA launches Quadro FX 5800 card with 4GB memory

[ball4ever]

NVIDIA on Monday established a new flagship video card for its workstation line.

The Quadro® FX 5800 ultra-high-end solution gives geophysicists, designers, scientists, engineers, and other technical professionals visual supercomputing from their desktops. Professional applications take advantage of the advanced feature set of the Quadro FX 5800, including 4GB of frame buffer, providing professionals with the right set of tools to deliver results that push visualization beyond traditional 3D.



Enables visualization and interactivity of large scale models
Industry’s first 4 GB graphics memory and broad color definition, that is orders of magnitude higher than typical solutions, allows for interactive 4D modeling.

Performance accordingly goes up as a whole, according to NVIDIA. Memory bandwidth climbs from 76.8GB per second to 102GB and lets the card reach its peak 52 billion textured pixels per second fill rate as well as raw geometry performance of 300 million triangles per second.

The system continues to support DirectX 10 and OpenGL and also supports NVIDIA's G-Sync II feature, which lets multiple systems render the same final image. The company is launching the card for $3,499 and will make it available both through computer builders as well as card makers like Elsa, Leadtek and PNY.
