NVIDIA^® Quadro^® 6000G by PNY – Unprecedented Interactive Visualization and Immersive Realism

Offering 6 GB of ECC GDDR5 graphics memory, 448 NVIDIA CUDA™ parallel processing cores that support fast double precision to ensure the accuracy and fidelity of your work, and built on the innovative Fermi architecture, the NVIDIA Quadro 6000G by PNY is breakthrough solution for applications requiring unprecedented levels of interactive visualization and immersive realism that utilize Frame Lock or Genlock functionality to choreograph multi-device film and video environments, or visualization clusters for effects rendering, visual simulation, scientific, engineering, or 3D design use; and fully supports 3D stereo viewing when used with NVIDIA 3D Vision or 3D Vision Pro products. The Quadro 6000 GPU is designed to run graphically or computationally challenging applications such as ray tracing, video processing and computational fluid dynamics; supports DirectX 11.0, OpenGL 4.1 and Shader Model 5.0 hardware acceleration, and drives displays ranging from the latest digital flat panels or projectors to HDTVs and CRTs.

The Quadro G-Sync card Frame Lock feature synchronizes the display channels from multiple systems, creating a single 'virtual display' that can be driven by a multi-system cluster built with off-the-shelf industry standard hardware offering cost and performance scalability advantages far in excess of any proprietary solution. Genlock, also known as 'house sync,' allows graphics output to be synchronized to an external source, typically for film and broadcast video applications.
