New Flagship NVIDIA Quadro K6000 GPU Announced

[beelzebozo]

Yesterday, NVIDIA announced a new flagship GPU; the Quadro K6000. It is based off Kepler architecture and this GPU bolsters some impressive specs:

• 12GB DDR5 graphics memory
• 2,880 streamline multiprocessor
• supports four simultaneous displays and up to 4k resolution with display port 1.2
• ultra-low latency video I/O and large scale visualization support.

It is also supposed to contain five-times higher compute performance and nearly double the graphics capability its predecessor, the Quadro 6000 GPU.

Pricing is not available yet but should be available some time this fall.

I feel sorry for the new mac pro .

You could probably use this in a thunderbolt external enclosure with the new MacPro

Only for compute CUDA/OpenCL but not for OpenGL/DirectX apps/viewports like maya, 3d max. mudbox, zbrush, Mari, modo etc. By default those programs will use one and only firepro (w\o Mari).

Nice!

The Quadro 6000 sells for $3,700. So I suppose as a reference this might give an idea of the price range for the K6000.

Unfortunately Thunderbolt (even Thunderbolt 2) does not have the necessary bandwidth for graphics cards. Remember that basically you are getting a 1x Pci-E 3 lane with Thunderbolt, compared this card needing at least an 8x Pci-E 3 lane. (recommended 16x- but we all know that these cards can't even use that anyway...).

So personally- Thunderbolt is great for HDD's, oh, and HDD's. Maybe an audio interface here and there, but seriously, audio is fine on USB2!!!

Holy crap! It has almost as much Ram as my computer! Too bad it costs about 5 times as much as my computer...

I think that someone should make a pci port that allows for external pci devices.

If you look at it, it only has 1 DP port therefore only support a single 4k display where the new mac pro supports 3.

Look closer .

Look closer .

At what? It has 1x DP, 1x HDMI and 2x DVI
"4k resolution with display port 1.2" and only 1x DP so that means only one 4k display.
