NextComputing (Nashua, NH) has announced it is incorporating the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 graphics board from PNY Technologies (Parsippany, NJ) in its NextDimension FlexTop computer, a high-performance mobile workstation with extreme graphics computing and throughput. According to NextComputing, the capability of a portable graphics workstation to accommodate this ultra high-end graphics board is an industry first.
The FX 5500 graphics board is a professional graphics solution for CAD, DCC, and visualization applications. Engineered to address the most demanding GPU challenges, the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 features 33.6GB/sec. memory bandwidth and a 256-bit memory interface with support for 1024MB ultra-fast GDDR2 memory, two dual-link DVI connectors, and resolutions up to 3840 X 2400.
The FlexTop personal supercomputer's two PCI Express slots, another first in a portable workstation, make it possible for a high-performance graphics board to be portable. Coupling the GPU performance of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 5500 graphics board with the CPU performance of the Dual Core AMD Opteron processors provides maximum computational and graphics performance.
This most recent addition to the NextDimension series addresses the need for open standards technology in a small portable footprint, together with processing power and graphics capabilities equal to that of a desktop graphics workstation.
