NVidia unveiled its new graphic card models dedicated to Pro users: Quadro FX.
The high-end model, aka FW 58000 is quite impressive. It sports 4 GB of VRAM working on a 512 bits bus, offering a theoretical bandwidth of 102 GB/s. Regarding the GPU, we only know that it includes 240 CUDA Parallel Processor Cores. The card remains sober regarding power consumption despite its hardware and should "only" drain 189 W.
We currently do not really understand why Apple did not offer any Pro graphic cards with its new Mac Pro whose prices are rather Pro-oriented. Of course the lack of dedicated drivers might be the explanation, however, Apple and NVidia might be able to work together to make it possible...
