NextComputing Adds Enhanced Single Slot Nvidia Quadro® FX 3800 Graphics Solution to Portable Computer Line up
NASHUA, NH – May 12, 2009 – NextComputing, manufacturers of high-performance, portable workstations and servers, announces the availability of the new NVIDIA Quadro® FX 3800 graphics card on all models of NextDimension flextop computers, and select models of Vigor rugged portable computers.
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800 is a single slot solution with a robust feature set and added capabilities such as SLI Multi-OS and SDI support to enable a no-compromise, high-performance, interactive visualization experience. This high-end card brings the power of high-performance, professional graphics to an entirely new level; offering support for features previously only found on ultra-high end, dual-width graphics cards. The NVIDIA Quadro® FX 3800 gives users the power and features to take their inspiration even further with certified application support for the industry’s top CAD/CAM, 3D design, 3D medical imaging, and digital content creation software applications.
The NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800 is the first single-slot GPU to support the NVIDIA Quadro Digital Video Pipeline, providing low-latency, uncompressed HD-SDI video output. Previously, the NVIDIA SDI option was only available on NVIDIA’s ultra high-end Quadro line, such as the FX 5800 or FX 4800 dual-width cards. Now this same solution is available in a 2-slot configuration. For small form-factor computers like NextComputing’s NextDimension portable systems, this solution saves space and power, as well as minimizes heat. This enables applications like real-time broadcast graphics and digital film color correction to be made portable.
Other features of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800 high-end graphics card include:
- CUDA Architecture for Parallel Computing
- Support for OpenGL 3 and DirectX 10
- Ultra FSAA Performance
- Jumbo 8K Texture Processing
NVIDIA Quadro® FX3800 is a resourceful, professional, high-end card that competes in all sectors. The sheer performance of the card is unprecedented and almost matches the Quadro FX4800 in benchmark results. The card gives end users within the professional graphics industry many cost-efficient optional upgrades, while providing computer manufacturers the option to have all the features of an ultra high-end graphics card, including SDI functionality, in a single slot card.
Other NVIDIA Quadro solutions offered on NextComputing systems include the Quadro FX 5800, 4800, and 1800. The Quadro FX 3800 is available on the NextDimension Pro and Pro HD, Evo and Evo HD, RVE, and XGE, as well as the Vigor Evo HD and Pro SD. For more information, visit www.nextcomputing.com.
