Also introduces upgraded Quadro Visual Computing Appliance for accelerating design & VFX production workflows, and Quadro K1200 for small form factor (SFF) workstations.
Mumbai, INDIA – 13th April 2015 – NVIDIA has officially launched the new Quadro M6000, built for professional design and visualization applications. The Quadro M6000 provides 12GB of GPU memory, 7.0 teraflops of peak single-precision performance, support for up to four 4K displays, and the power efficiency of NVIDIA’s Maxwell architecture in one powerful package.
Designed to deliver cutting-edge graphics performance for professional visual computing workflows at the enterprise level, the Quadro M6000 is certified on more than 100 popular professional applications.
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 (1), including 2.4x faster ray tracing (2) and 36-bit colour support for high-dynamic range displays.
By pairing the Quadro M6000 with the newly announced NVIDIA Iray 2015, professionals will be able to experience the highest level of visual realism and interactivity in design workflows, while more than doubling the rendering speed. NVIDIA Iray® is a highly interactive and intuitive physically based rendering technology that generates photorealistic imagery by simulating the physical behavior of light and materials.
Quadro Visual Computing Alliance
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 the enterprise.
Quadro K1200
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 Quadro M6000 and K1200 are available now for purchase from OEMs and distributors. System configurations may vary and buyers are advised to contact their NVIDIA partner salesperson for additional information.
The Quadro M6000 will make its next public appearance at the annual NAB Show in Las Vegas, April 13 to 16, where NVIDIA will be powering demos in more than 70 partner stands. The M6000 will be driving innovations from Adobe, Blackmagic Design, Brainstorm, HP, Open Drives, RED Digital Cinema, SGO, WSI and Vizrt. View the complete list of partners.
Customer Quotes:
“Quadro M6000 enables us to interact with physically accurate visualizations in ways never before possible.” — David Nike, Hyundai Design
“Our goal is to make a pilot forget they are in a flight simulator. With the Quadro M6000, we saw a 100 percent performance improvement over the previous generation, allowing us to render an extreme number of geo-specific models while maintaining a 60Hz frame rate at 4K resolution. This allows us to greatly enhance scenes with details like shadows and reflections on runways and water — visual fidelity that helps pilots to suspend their disbelief.” — Tim Woodard, Diamond Visionics
“The Quadro M6000 delivers up to 25% performance increase when working in Autodesk Maya with extremely complex assets like furry creatures, fluids and crowd scenes for feature films. Our artists’ workflows are uncompromising, requiring them to deliver the highest standards of quality to a strict schedule. The ability to interactively navigate, troubleshoot and alter assets with ease gives a huge boost to our productivity.” — Michael Blain, Framestore
