Fermi-Based NVIDIA Quadro Video Cards Made Official

In terms of user graphics cards, NVIDIA is still a way rotten from covering the complete market by DirectX 11-capable models. The similar cannot be believed about the professional front, however, now that the Santa Clara, California-based company has unleashed its line of Fermi-based series of Quadro adapters, all enabled by the GF100 graphics processing unit. This new collection promises higher performance and a wider feature set compared to its predecessor.

So far, NVIDIA has unleashed five products. The Quadro 4000 has 2GB of GDDR5 memory and 256 stream processors (SP). Also, the Quadro 5000 has 2.5GB VRAM and 352 torrent processors, whereas the Quadro 5000M, for mobile workstations, boasts 2GB GDDR5 and 320 SP.

Moreover the Quadro 6000 has a good 6GB VRAM and 448 stream processors. As for the Quadro Plex, it is the most dominant by far, with a massive 12GB of memory and 896 SP.

We have build engines like AXE to facilitate the conception of next-gen applications. When you connect these technologies with our Fermi architecture, the result is a new Quadro family that's exponentially better than anything the market has ever seen said Jeff Brown, general manager, professional solutions group at Nvidia.
