NVIDIA is rolling out some serious graphic crunching power with its latest Quadro graphics card. Still, with a $3,499 MSRP, only pros with a company credit card and a real need for such computing power should apply for the 240 CUDA-programmable parallel core card. Just check out the Quadro FX 5800 capabilities though:

  • Interactive 4D modeling with time lapse capabilities
  • Massive memory bandwidth of up to 102 GB per second
  • Fill rates that exceed 52 billion texels per second and geometry performance of 300 million triangles per second

That’s a whole lot Photoshop power.
