July 27th 2010 saw the launch of
Nvidia's new secret weapon the Quadro
Fermi® 4000, 5000 and 6000 cards. Here
we got the exclusive on both 5000 and
6000 cards and these pretty much blew
everyone away. On the initial brief we
had been delivered an excellent
broadside on the Quadro® 5000 to which
our article was very well received
within the community. We further
advanced on that on the same day with
our own Nvidia Quadro® 6000 article.
This was the derby winner and did
catch many on the hop as the results
most certainly amazed. Therefore the
last and most interesting of the trio is
the Nvidia Quadro® 4000 has just
arrived. Today we have an exclusive
look into the final edition of the
Quadro Fermi cards aimed squarely at the
workstation market. This neat single
slot card is one of the mainstay bread
and butter professional graph cards from
Nvidia. The Nvidia Quadro® 4000 gives
end-users the power and features to take
their inspiration even further with
certified application support for the
industry’s top CAD/CAM, 3D Design, and
Digital Content Creation software
applications.
The entry level position of the high-end
graphic's solutions has always been a
bitterly fought out arena and currently
the Quadro FX3800 has maintained its
ground as a high volume turn over card
for Nvidia in both retail and within the
OEM's. A versatile, single slot card
which can be found in many different
types of systems around the globe in
many walks of industry. Its been a
dominating piece of equipment for some
time and many end user the like, has
much respect for the power and memory
density hidden under its hood. Enter
now the Nvidia Quadro® 4000 the proud
successor, and our exclusive look into
the card and it's performance.
Scorching
straight out the starters gate the
NVIDIA Quadro® 4000 sports 2GB of GDDR5
memory and 256 CUDA Cores and might we
add at a very affordable price.
With the
aid of some factual information that the
Nvidia's PR department supplied us with,
it gives you the reader an idea of what
message it being delivered by the
company. |
