When it comes to high-end content creation, time is money. Businesses with employees that are stuck sitting around waiting for compute-intensive tasks to finish, simply can't get as much accomplished as those with speedy hardware that can power through the most demanding tasks. Tons of parallel processing power and professional-tier graphics cards for these scenarios don't come cheap, but they can certainly pay dividends in terms of efficiency and time saved. That's the story of Lenovo's ultra-powerful ThinkStation P620 workstation, which is on our test bench today. Breaking this system from its cardboard container caused us to stop and admire all the hardware tucked away inside. That same...

NVIDIA's first introduction of Ampere was as a machine learning, the A100 built on a 7-nanometer manufacturing process, followed by the GeForce RTX 30 series for consumers, with GPUs built on Samsung's 8nm node. What comes next? It looks like Ampere will trot on over to NVIDIA's Quadro line of professional graphics cards, with some meaty specifications. Ampere is off to a wild start, that is for sure. The A100 reveal was neat, but the GeForce RTX 30 series stole the spotlight, with NVIDIA claiming big gains in performance at relatively attractive price points. If the claims are true, the $499 GeForce RTX 3070 will be faster than the previous generation $999 GeForce RTX 2080 Ti. As for making...

If you have an NVIDIA GPU in your Windows rig – like the new Super family of GeForce RTX graphics cards -- now might be a good time to update your graphics driver to the latest version. NVIDIA has pushed out a new update for its graphics drivers that address a total of five security issues within Windows. The least serve of the security issues is CVE‑2019‑5687, which involves taking advantage of the kernel mode layer handler (nvlddmkm.sys) for DxgkDdiEscape. It is possible to obtain improper permissions which can result in a denial of service attack. The most sever exploit, with a CVSS V3 base score of 8.8, is CVE‑2019‑5683. According to NVIDIA, it involves a vulnerability in...

NVIDIA is fleshing out its Quadro RTX series of professional graphics cards with the Quadro RTX 4000, now the least expensive option in the refreshed Quadro family with dedicated hardware to accelerate ray tracing workloads. As with the higher-end models, the new Quadro RTX 4000 is based on the company's latest generation Turing GPU architecture. The Quadro RTX 4000 release joins a growing product stack that already includes the Quadro RTX 8000, 6000, and 5000. Priced at $900 (estimated street price), it is the only one of the bunch to carry a sub-$1,000 price tag—the other three cards range in price from $2,300 to $10,000. At less than half the cost of the Quadro RTX 5000, the new 4000...

NVIDIA is making its high-powered Tesla GPU servers even more useful today with the launch of what it calls Quadro Virtual Data Center Workstation Software, or Quadro vDWS. Quadro vDWS allows users to run heavy rendering operations and high-performance computing workloads within a virtualized environment. These applications can then be streamed to a laptop or virtual workstation that otherwise wouldn’t have the compute power necessary to handle such tasks. Quadro vDWS is optimized for Pascal-based Tesla GPU accelerators with up to 24GB of onboard memory, with those resources being divided up amongst multiple users based on their needs. NVIDIA claims that Quadro vDWS offers twice the performance...

A couple of weeks back, NVIDIA unveiled a family of new professional Quadro cards, based on the company’s Pascal GPU architecture. The latest additions to the Quadro line-up run the gamut in terms of features and capabilities, from the low-power, small form factor Quadro P400 to the gargantuan, ultra-powerful Quadro GP100. Smack dab in the middle of the line-up are a pair of mid-range offerings, the Quadro P4000 and Quadro P2000, which we’ll be featuring here.The Quadro P4000 and P2000 are both single-slot, capable solutions that target more mainstream professional-graphics market segments, very much like the AMD Radeon Pro WX 5100 and WX 7100 we recently evaluated. We’ve got the Quadro P4000’s...

The same awesome architecture that powers NVIDIA's latest generation graphics cards can now be found throughout the maker's entire professional Quadro line for the desktop with top to bottom solutions. We're of course talking about Pascal, the game-changing architecture that made playing titles at a 4K resolution on a single graphics card possible. Pascal now powers half a dozen more Quadro cards that flesh out its existing lineup. Having access to Pascal on the engineering side will provide a boost in performance in several categories. VR, photo-realism, and deep learning technologies, all of which are trending in the professional arena right now, feature bigger data sets and are more complex...

NVIDIA’s Pascal architecture has been wildly successful in the consumer space. The various GPUs that power the GeForce GTX 10 series are all highly competitive at their respective price points, and the higher-end variants are currently unmatched by any single competing GPU. That may change when AMD launches GPUs based on its next-generation Vega architecture, but that won’t happen for a few more months, so cards like the GeForce GTX 1080 and TITAN X will continue to dominate benchmark charts at least for a little while longer. NVIDIA has since retooled Pascal for the professional workstation market as well, with products that make even the GeForce GTX 1080 and TITAN X look quaint in comparison....

If you're into graphics technology, you've probably run out of rags at this point to wipe up your drool with. NVIDIA kicked things off by introducing Pascal with its bodacious GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card and it's only slightly less impressive sibling, the GeForce GTX 1070, followed by a new Titan X card. And over on the workstation side, there's the recently announced Quadro P6000, the most beastly of them all, and an unannounced mobile Quadro GPU based on Pascal.While wandering the expo floor at SIGGRAPH 2016, the folks at Fudzilla came across laptop on a table connected to an external display. It turns out that inside that laptop is a mobile Quadro GPU sporting NVIDiA's Pascal architecture...
