nvidia corp (NVDA) Snapshot

NVIDIA introduced the first high-end products based on its Maxwell(TM) chip architecture, the new GeForce(R) GTX(TM) 980 and 970 GPUs delivering unmatched performance, major new graphics capabilities and twice the energy efficiency of the previous generation. Maxwell is the company's 10th -generation GPU architecture, following Kepler(TM). The engine of next-generation gaming, it solves some of the most complex lighting and graphics challenges in visual computing. Its new Voxel Global Illumination (VXGI) technology enables gaming GPUs for the first time to deliver real-time dynamic global illumination. Scenes are significantly more lifelike as light interacts realistically in the game environment resulting in deeper levels of immersion for gamers. And a range of new technologies including multi-frame sampled antialiasing (MFAA), dynamic super resolution (DSR), VR Direct and extremely energy-efficient design enable Maxwell-based GTX 980 and 970 GPUs to render frames with the highest fidelity at higher clock speeds and lower power consumption than any other GPU in their class.

NVIDIA unveiled its next generation of NVIDIA(R) Quadro(R) GPUs- providing new tools and technologies to meet the visual computing needs of the world's leading designers, artists and scientists. The new lineup delivers an enterprise-grade visual computing platform with up to twice the application performance and data-handling capability of the previous generation. It reflects NVIDIA's extensive work with leading customers across industries to gain greater insight into their growing requirements to work with more complex models and higher-resolution images; to incorporate cloud-based resources; and to access work remotely, often on mobile devices. The new generation of Quadro GPUs- the K5200, K4200, K2200, K620 and K420- enables users to: Interact with data sets or designs up to twice the size handled by previous generations. Remotely interact with graphics applications from a Quadro-based workstation from essentially any device, including PCs, Macs and tablets. Run major applications- such as Adobe(R) CC, Autodesk Design Suite and Dassault Systèmes SOLIDWORKS 2014- on average 40% faster than with previous Quadro cards. Switch effortlessly from local GPU rendering to cloud-based offerings using NVIDIA Iray(R) rendering.
