NVIDIA on Tuesday unveiled the Quadro 400 GPU. It’s made for professional designers and engineers and for programs such as Autodesk’s AutoCAD and other 3D-heavy apps. It consumes 32W and is small enough to fit inside most any workstation and small form-factor system.
It also gets 512MB of dedicated RAM and boasts a 30-bit (10-bits per color) color engine with a one-billion color range. The GPU can drive two screens through its dual-link DVI port at up to 3840×2400 resolution at 24Hz on each panel and DisplayPort at up to 2560×1600. The GPU also supports NVIDIA’s 3D Vision and 3D Vision Pro technology for stereoscopic 3D.
The Quadro 400 is now available, priced at $169. It is compatible with the HP Z800, Z600 and Z400 Workstations, and some Lenovo ThinkStation D20, C20, S20 and E30 models.
