Original Press Release:
Dual NVIDIA Quadro® FX 3500 by PNY Technologies®, Inc., Graphic Boards, SLI Enabled, Now Available in Portable, Graphics Engineering Workstation
July 6, 2006, NextComputing www.nextcomputing.com, creators of the first FlexTop computer, the NextDimension www.nextcomputing.com/products/nextdim.htm, announced today the availability of Dual NVIDIA Quadro® FX 3500 graphic boards by PNY Technologies, Inc. inside this portable, graphics engineering super computer. NextComputing is known in the HPC community as innovators for its engineering design talents, bringing to market the smallest, portable form factors with features capable of the most intensive graphics applications
www.nextcomputing.com/advantages/graphics.htm .
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 alone brings unsurpassed GPU capabilities and SLI(TM) support, 256MB of GDDR3 RAM, stereo and dual dual-link DVI connectors, ideal for high-end CAD/CAM www.nextcomputing.com/industries/ecc-mainsol.htm, DCC www.nextcomputing.com/industries/game- mainsol.htm, and Visualization markets. Performance specs of each card: 54 sgs-04, 71 proe-03, 42 sw- 01, and 44 3dsmax-03. SLI enabled, performance can increase by 2X dependent upon the application www.nextcomputing.com/advantages/nvidia.htm. "By harnessing the power of two NVIDIA Quadro FX 3500 by PNY graphic boards, NextDimension delivers portable high performance workstation graphics into markets requiring breakthrough levels of performance including oil & gas, military and visualization applications." Jeff Medeiros, business development manager, PNY Technologies.
NextComputing's NextDimension www.nextcomputing.com/products/nextdim.htm combines Dual, Dual-Core Opteron(TM) Processors by AMD with the capabilities of two cards to address the problems of CPU bottlenecks, long a complaint of graphics engineers utilizing extremely high-res 3D applications including features like pixel and vertex shading. 3D performance in many CAD applications is dependent upon the workstation's CPU. Throwing more graphics power at CAD applications alone will not solve the problem if the workstation's CPU is limited. NVIDIA has worked with ISVs to enable its OpenGL implementations to reduce the CPU bottleneck by "off loading" processing tasks to the GPU. Combine this with dual, Dual Core 2.2 GHz Opteron(TM) processors by AMD(TM), and you get maximum thru-put from both AMD's Hyper Transport technology www.nextcomputing.com/advantages/thruadv.htm and the renowned PCI Express x16 bus, more space on the CPU, better graphics performance, as well as higher speed memory availability.
NextComputing not only brings to the table the highest performing graphics engineering workstation with its NextDimension www.nextcomputing.com/products/nextdim.htm, but they make it portable www.nextcomputing.com/advantages/portadv.htm . The graphics community benefits in two ways - a top performing desktop graphics workstation, and a form factor that can be easily transported anywhere.
