BOXX Technologies demonstrated the 3DBOXX 4880 XXtreme workstation, a newperformance-enhanced addition to its 3DBOXX 4800 Series, at SIGGRAPH2010.

“This is a groundbreaking addition to our 3DBOXX 4800 Series,” says Shoaib Mohammad, director of Marketing and BusinessDevelopment at BOXX. “An increased power supply and four new NVIDIAQuadro 5000 GPUs take 4880 XXtreme beyond creative applications to alsoprovide maximum, professional performance for rendering apps likeBunkspeed, V-Ray, and others, eliminating bottlenecks and acceleratingyour workflow like never before.”

With a six-core Intel CoreTMi7 processor capable of reaching 4.15 GHz, the liquid-cooled 4880XXtreme features up to 8 virtual cores of performance for 3D/2Danimation, modeling, compositing, visualization and motion mediaapplications. XXtreme’s inclusion of four new NVIDIA Quadro 5000graphics plus compute GPUs (with support for seven in all) creates a“visual supercomputer,” according to the company.

“Thebreakthrough performance of the newest NVIDIA Quadro solutions giveusers the ability to create models and scenes that are five times morecomplex, while still enabling true interactivity for animators and VFXartists,” says Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional SolutionsGroup, NVIDIA. “Integrating the Quadro line in the 3DBOXX 4800 Seriesdelivers a serious performance advantage when running modernapplications such as Adobe CS5 and Bunkspeed SHOT, by leveraging theCUDA parallel processing architecture of NVIDIA GPUs.”
