NVIDIA has unveiled the NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPU and a new line of professional graphics GPUs for mobile workstations.

The Quadro K6000 GPU delivers five times higher compute performance and nearly double the graphics capability of its predecessor, the NVIDIA Quadro 6000 GPU, and features the world’s largest and fastest graphics memory.

Combining breakthrough performance and advanced capabilities in a power-efficient design, it enables leading organisations such as Pixar, Nissan, Apache Corporation, and the Weather Channel’s WSI division to tackle visualisation and analysis workloads of unprecedented size and scope.

“The NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPU is the highest performance, most capable GPU ever created for the professional graphics market,” said Ed Ellett, Senior Vice President, Professional Solutions Group at NVIDIA. “It will significantly change the game for animators, digital designers and engineers, enabling them to make the impossible possible.”

A new flagship professional graphics GPU for workstation notebooks, the NVIDIA Quadro K5100M GPU anchors a new line of workstation notebook graphics that includes the Quadro K4100M, K3100M, K2100M, K1100M, K610M, and K510M GPUs.

Quadro GPUs are designed, built and tested by NVIDIA to provide the superb reliability, compatibility and dependability that professionals require.  They are certified and recommended by more than 150 leading software application providers worldwide.

The NVIDIA Quadro K6000 will be available beginning this fall from HP, Dell, Lenovo, and other major workstation providers; from systems integrators, including BOXX Technologies and Supermicro; and from authorised distribution partners, including ELSA and Ryoyo in Japan, and Leadtek in Asia Pacific. The new Quadro mobile workstation graphics product line will also be available beginning this fall from major mobile workstation OEMs.
