NVIDIA Launches New Quadro M6000GPU Card or Professionals

NVIDIA has officially launched the new Quadro M6000, built for professional design and visualization applications and certified on over 1000 professional applications. The Quadro M6000 provides 12GB of GPU memory, 7.0 teraflops of peak single-precision performance and support for up to four 4K displays.

The card packs in 3072 CUDA cores, 192 texture mapping units, and 96 raster operations pipelines. On an average, it delivers 30 percent faster performance (claimed) , including 2.4x faster ray tracing (2) and 36-bit colour support for high-dynamic range displays.

In a press release, the company said, by pairing the Quadro M6000 with the newly announced NVIDIA Iray 2015 (a rendering technology that generates photorealistic imagery by simulating the physical behavior of light and materials), professionals will be able to experience the ‘highest level of visual realism and interactivity in design workflows, while more than doubling the rendering speed’.

Alongwith the Quadro M6000, NVIDIA has also introduced a newly upgraded Quadro Visual Computing Appliance, bundled with eight M6000s. The appliance lets designers get the most out of Iray to visualize higher-resolution models interactively with unforeseen levels of photorealism. Multiple VCAs can be stacked in a data center to enable on-demand and scalable rendering power for an enterprise.

Another addition to the Quadro family is the new K1200. It’s the fastest graphics card specifically designed for small form factor (SFF) workstations, the company claimed.

The Quadro M6000 and K1200 are available now for purchase from OEMs and distributors. The M6000 will be driving innovations from Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Brainstorm, HP, Open Drives, RED Digital Cinema, SGO, WSI and Vizrt.
