NextComputing announces the addition of NVIDIA® Quadro® FX 4600 by PNY Technologies to its NextDimension family of flextop personal supercomputers. NextComputing's NextDimension family is the only line of portable graphics workstations on the market that can accommodate ultra high-end graphics boards of this caliber. The NextDimension's two PCI Express slots, another first in a portable workstation, make it possible. Coupling the GPU performance of the NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4600 by PNY Technologies graphics board with the CPU performance of the best-in-breed Dual-core AMD Opteron™ processors, provides maximum computational and graphics performance.

PNY Technologies delivers unprecedented CAD, DCC, and visualization application capabilities with the NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4600 by PNY graphics board. Engineered to handle the most complex visual computing challenges, the NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4600 by PNY Technologies® features a large 768MB GDDR3 frame buffer with ultra-fast memory bandwidth of up to 57.6GB/sec. NVIDIA® offers the industry's first unified architecture designed to dynamically allocate compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power to deliver optimized GPU performance. GPU computing for visualization technology with NVIDIA® CUDA™ is an innovative combination of GPU computing features that is accessible through a standard C language, unleashing entirely new capabilities to solve complex, data intensive problems. Next-Generation Vertex and Pixel Programmability Shader Model 4.0 enables a higher level of performance and ultra-realistic effects for next generation OpenGL and DirectX 10 industry-leading professional applications.

“NextComputing maintains a reputation of being on the cutting edge of graphics technology. With the addition of NVIDIA Quadro® FX 4600 by PNY to our lineup of high end graphics boards, we continue to offer the only portable ultra high-end visualization solution for the DCC, CAD, Broadcasting, and all other industries requiring maximum graphics and processor performance,” relates Bob Labadini, President and CTO of NextComputing.

NextComputing's recently announced NextDimension Evo models enable audio cards and high end PCI cards to be utilized in conjunction with two PCIe cards, for further flexibility to address the most I/O intensive applications like those found in the broadcasting and audio industries.

“The combination of the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4600 by PNY and the portable NextDimension, provides the ideal solution for advanced computing markets and graphic intensive design needs,” said Jeff Medeiros, business development manager, PNY Technologies. “Advanced visualization applications used in these markets can take full advantage of the boards' new ground-breaking features including large frame buffers, new unified architecture, and the ability to do compute functions on the GPU.”
