NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has unveiled the
world’s most powerful professional GPU which takes the form of the new NVIDIA
Quadro GV100 which is based on NVIDIA’s Volta architecture and sporting 5,120
CUDA cores.
The 5,120 CUDA cores in the NVIDIA Quadro GV100
graphics card are supported by 32 GB of HBM2 memory and up to 7.4 TFLOPs of
power for double-precision rendering, 14.8 TFLOPs for single-precision
workloads, 29.6 TFLOPs half-precision, and 118.5 TFLOPs for deep learning through
its Tensor Cores. In comparison the previous high-end Quadro graphics card
created by NVIDIA, the GP100, offered 10.3 TFLOPs for single-precision
rendering.
Other features of the NVIDIA Quadro GV100 include
standard Quadro Sync and Stereo connectors for synchronized refresh and
quad-buffered stereo respectively, and NVIDIA has removed the GP100’s sole DVI
port, leaving it with 4x DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. The high-powered graphics
card supports Microsoft’s new DirectX Raytracing API, the RTX hardware will
also be available within NVIDIA’s OptiX ray tracing engine, and NVIDIA has also
revealed that that Vulkan support is currently under development and will be
available at a future date.
The NVIDIA Quadro GV100 graphics card is now
available to purchase priced at US$ 9,000 and you can expect to see the card in
OEM systems during June 2018. For more information and full specifications jump
