These new systems take advantage of up to two NVIDIA Quadro M6000 24GB cards. The HP Z840 with dual M6000 24GB cards supports NVIDIA VR SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology which effectively doubles the system rendering power for the most demanding VR applications, according to a press release.

“We are embarking on a new frontier that will change how content producers and artists develop the most immersive, visually stimulating content available,” said Jeff Wood, vice president, Worldwide Product Management, Workstations and Thin Clients, HP Inc. “HP Z desktop workstations with NVIDIA graphics are the ideal combination for this new content creation era.”
