Nvidia Launches Quadro CX GPU for Photoshop Wizards

comment Commentsprint Printemail EmailDeliciousDiggStumbleUponRedditFacebookSlashdot

Nvidia's latest videocard release takes aim at the graphics professional rather than the hardcore gamer with its new Quadro CX GPU. The new card comes just in time for those planning on jumping onto Adobe's Creative Suite 4, as the Quadro CX has been designed with the suite in mind, which Nvidia claims will give uses the "ability to create rich, stunning content in a faster, smoother, and more interactive way."

The Quadro CX comes with 1.5GB of GDDR3 memory on a 384-bit memory interface capable of 76.8GB/sec of memory bandwidth. Dual Link DVI comes standard, as well as support for OpenGL 2.1, Shader Model 4.0, and DirectX 10.

The customized GPU allows Photoshop CS4 to offload real-time image rotation, zooming, and panning, as well as instantaneous view changes. But such goodies won't come cheap. MSRP has been set to $2000. Ouch!

O....M....G.... Freakin awesome!! I know quadro's aren't geared towards gamers but I did read an article on how to change Quadros to GeForce on the driver side. Maybe the same steps can be applied.
