By on December 4, 2008 10:14 am

Equipped with 192 CUDA™ parallel computing cores and 1.5GB of graphics memory, the Quadro FX 4800 delivers a 2X performance increase over previous generations of ultra-high-end graphics cards. It has 1.5 GB graphics memory. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 4800 is available today and has a MSRP of US$1,999.

Today, mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD), digital content creation (DCC) and broadcast applications received a major performance boost with the introduction of the NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 4800 ultra-high-end professional graphics card. With advances in GPU architecture, added graphics memory and 30-bit colour, the Quadro FX 4800 gives professionals the right toolset to dramatically push the boundaries of realism, performance and quality.

“In this increasingly competitive landscape, it’s imperative that professionals deliver better, faster and more cost-effective results,” said Jeff Brown general manager, Professional Solutions, NVIDIA.

“NVIDIA is not only addressing this challenge, but is raising the ultra-high-end visualisation bar by creating specialised solutions to meet the direct needs of professionals – whether it be a geophysicists or MCAD designer.”

Equipped with 192 CUDA™ parallel computing cores, the Quadro FX 4800 delivers a 2X performance increase over previous generations of ultra-high-end graphics cards. Key features in the Quadro FX 4800 include:

  • Real-time Visualization of Large Data Sets – Equipped with 1.5 GB graphics memory, the Quadro FX 4800 has the capacity to process large textures and frames in real time while providing fill rates of 38 billion texels per second and geometry performance of 300 million triangles per second.
  • Increased Image Quality – A 128-bit precision graphic pipeline and 32x FSAA for better image clarity and quality.
  • Ultra-high Colour Fidelity and Resolutions – Dual 10-bit display ports delivering a colour palette of over a billion colours, orders of magnitude greater than previous generations of graphics cards. Also included is a single dual-link digital display connector for ultra-high resolution panels of up to 3840 x 2400 at 24Hz.
  • High-performance Visualisation – A CUDA parallel computing processor architecture exposed through a C language environment and tool suite. In combination with high-performance visualisation, CUDA unleashes new capabilities to solve highly complex challenges such as realtime ray tracing, video encoding and interactive volume rendering.
