This week, NVIDIA officially snapped their suspenders announcing the next in their series of GPUs sporting the latest graphics-crackin’ Ampere microarchitecture – the RTX A6000 Pro Viz GPU and the A40 Data Center GPU. They follow on the mainstream GPU availability of the unexpected, highly demanded, hard to come by RTX 3080 and RTX 3090…
I know what you’re waiting for. It’s been a long day. Co-workers are finishing up their work, cleaning the sweat from their keyboard and tidying up that cubicle for the day that awaits them tomorrow. You? You’re waiting until everyone leaves. Because, once they do, you can SWAP OUT THAT GPU, BABY! And not just…
Despite the advancements of artificial intelligence, not many people can get their hands on such expensive tech. Computers and cloud systems powering A.I. with powers such as instantaneous translation, image, and verbal recognition, and stronger decision-making capabilities can cost businesses quite the pretty penny. The Jetson Nano is Nvidia’s response to this issue of pricey…
NVIDIA introduced their Quadro RTX line with an eye-poppin’ mix of high-end GPUs that put previous Quadro cards to shame and made workstations question their life choices. What seemed to be missing, however, was a mid-range RTX option. They introduced that last fall – the Quadro RTX 4000 – and it’s due… really, any moment.…
Computer graphics nuts will be happy to know NVIDIA has once again announced a new graphics card to their ever-expanding repertoire. Dubbed the Quadro RTX 4000 to continue NVIDIA’s streak of confusing names, this new graphics card is a midrange GPU powered by NVIDIA’s Turing and RTX technology, bringing ray tracing tech to a broader…
Don’t get me wrong – today’s graphics cards are no slouch. While they deliver images which are almost on par with blockbuster movies, the biggest issue graphics cards have to deal with right now is light; more specifically, how it bounces, reflects, and refracts off objects similar to the real world. Nvidia Turing isn’t the…
Innocent automobile drivers out for their Sunday drive in London in the fall of 2013 may have felt the noticeable increase in temperature, the sudden blinding windshield glare and continued motoring down Eastcheap Street with little more than an automatic brief adjustment of the climate control. If they were to stop and peer upward through their…
I know it’s bound to bring on the arm spasms, causing you to fall from your chair, spilling your coffee on your workstation tower and frying the Quadro GPU you already have, but that’s ok, because NVIDIA has gone and done the unthinkable, nay the unimaginable–they’ve released a new line of Quadro workstation graphics cards…
Specking out a new fixed or mobile workstation for your CAD work can be a challenge. First, you need to identify the type of work where you really spend most of your time. For example, do you model simple parts, complex assemblies, or both? Do you do first-pass or complex FEA or structural dynamics analyses?
What’s happening in this video? It’s something to do with a fast motorcycle, an alien spaceship, and a shockwave that sends the fleshy jowls of a middle-age man into a flapping mess against his head bone. Oh, and this guy is spilling his coffee, looking quite like he just was bucked between the legs by…
Just look at that Quadro 2000 circuit board shimmer in the perfectly directed studio lighting. It’s almost enough to take your mind off the $50k you just spent upgrading all the company’s computers to the, now antiquated, Quadro FX 1800. So what, I say! What’s $50k when it comes to a full 1GB of memory,…
If you’re like me, you know there’s nothing like spinning around till you stumble and slam your head through a 3D display. The small joys of life. Much like being able to model 3D on a display while wearing some dope looking lenses and chewing on a stick of butter. At least it use to…
Stay calm… it’s a simple hardware review for a simple piece of hardware. A graphics card as a matter of fact. The NVIDIA Quadro FX 1800. A mighty GPU fit for many a CAD system, that five years from now will lie dead in a muddy trench of the IT underbelly. It’s likely you want…
If you’re a fan of meatballs and Nvidia Graphics Cards or “GPU’s” you’re gonna throw noodles in the air and set the table for the new Quadro FX family that has just come into town. Nvidia has release their 10th generation cards and the “Strongest Professional Graphics Lineup in History” is the byline every GPU…
Are you ready to elevate your heart rate a couple notches about extremely powerful computer tech? How does the word ‘Supercomputer’ make ya feel? While the nVidia Personal SuperComputer is bound to have your models streaking across the screen, don’t shove your old workstations down the stairs just yet… Ok, go ahead, but you’re gonna…
