NVIDIA and Windows Vista Deliver Outstanding New 3D Computing Experience
NVIDIA and Windows Vista Deliver Outstanding New 3D Computing Experience
NVIDIA Offers Consumers the Widest Selection of Windows Vista-Certified Graphics Processors and Motherboards
Today's launch of Microsoft Windows Vista marks the first time that a major operating system requires a graphics processing unit (GPU) for the best experience. In fact, both The New York Times and CNET Networks have reported that Windows Vista requires a graphics processor, while USA Today noted that, "To use Vista's slick graphical interface, users need a sophisticated graphics card."
To meet the needs of enterprise and consumer PC users, NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) has certified the industry's broadest range of GPUs and media and communications processors (MCPs) to be Windows Vista Ready. NVIDIA is the only graphics company with four generations of GPUs and MCPs to be certified by Microsoft to be Windows Vista Premium Ready, and the only graphics company to release Microsoft DirectX 10-capable GPUs. For consumers, this means a stellar out-of-the-box experience with Windows Vista driven by the NVIDIA hardware inside the PC.
"Windows Vista features a beautiful new 3D interface that dramatically improves the computing experience," said Rob Csongor, vice president of corporate marketing at NVIDIA. "Vista's Aero Glass, Flip 3D, Windows Vista Photo Explorer, and Vista's rich media capabilities are actually accelerated with an NVIDIA graphics processor. In addition, a host of popular applications including Microsoft 3D Maps, Picasa, Zinio, PowerDVD HD, and Adobe Acrobat also take advantage of a graphics processor. Every user who plans to build or buy a new PC now should be sure to include a graphics processor in their system."
"Microsoft has worked closely with NVIDIA to ensure that NVIDIA GPUs are excellent Windows Vista-ready solutions," said Anantha Kancherla, principal group program manager at Microsoft. "In addition, NVIDIA's work with DirectX 10 has resulted in outstanding GPUs that will exceed gamers' needs for the next generation."
Quest Network Services now offers NVIDIA-powered Vista-Ready PCs. Vista-capable NVIDIA-powered PCs start at just $359.
With more than 100 different Windows Vista-Ready GPUs and MCPs available in the marketplace, NVIDIA is ready to support consumers looking to either buy a brand new PC or upgrade their current PC to Windows Vista. NVIDIA is currently providing Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) certified drivers for many of these products to Windows Vista PC manufacturers and directly to consumers at http://www.nvidia.com/.
In addition to the support provided for Windows Vista through its GPU and MCP products, NVIDIA is also extending the Vista experience beyond the PC with the NVIDIA Preface platform. NVIDIA Preface is a secondary display subsystem that gives users access to Windows Gadgets and information from their notebook or PC, even when the main system is powered down. Windows Gadgets are applications that display specific kinds of information, such as a clock, calendar, stock quotes, or weather. They can run on the desktop in the Windows Vista Sidebar, or on an auxiliary display such as those powered by the NVIDIA Preface platform.
The latest version of the NVIDIA Preface platform includes wireless capabilities for manufacturers of handheld devices who want to provide customers the full benefits of Windows SideShow, a new feature of Windows Vista, while away from their computer or on the move.
Windows Vista also marks the debut of Microsoft DirectX 10. The NVIDIA GeForce 8800 is the only DirectX 10 GPU available in concert with Windows Vista, and GeForce 8800 GPUs are the choice of DirectX 10 application developers as they create and test groundbreaking next-generation content.
Several of the most anticipated titles for 2007—including Crysis (published by Electronic Arts), Supreme Commander (THQ), Hellgate London (EA/Namco), and Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures (Funcom)—are designed on NVIDIA hardware and will exploit the new features of DirectX 10.
"The PC's future has never been brighter," said Chris Taylor of Gas Powered Games, the developer of Supreme Commander. "When you combine the architecture of Microsoft's DirectX 10 and the insanely powerful NVIDIA graphics technology, you set the stage to make the PC a gaming platform unlike anything the world has ever seen before. Now we have the ability to play games at outrageous resolutions like 2560x1600—on two monitors at once! And that technology is available right now, today, with the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 and Windows."
"NVIDIA has made a huge difference in the performance and visual quality of Hellgate: London," said Bill Roper, CEO of Flagship Studios. "NVIDIA engineers provided us with pre-release versions of their incredible DirectX 10 graphics cards to help us develop our game. When you play Hellgate: London on an 8-series NVIDIA graphics card, you can see all the power and the glory of our world. The GeForce 8800's graphics capabilities are unrivaled."

NVIDIA Preface Platform Enables Windows Vista On The Go
NVIDIA Preface Platform Enables Windows Vista On The Go
CES "Best of Innovations" Winner Extends Windows SideShow Capabilities to Bluetooth-Enabled Wireless Devices
NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today announced the latest version of its Preface Personal Media Display platform, a secondary processor and display subsystem that enables users to access information from their notebook or PC even when the main system is powered down. This latest version of NVIDIA Preface platform delivers wireless capabilities to the platform for manufacturers of handheld devices who want to provide customers the full benefits of Windows SideShow, a new feature of Windows Vista, while on the move.
Chosen as a CES Innovations Honoree for 2007, NVIDIA Preface provides notebook PC users running Windows SideShow with "always-on" access to e-mail, calendars, maps, and other data via a secondary display-even when the notebook is powered down. Notebooks with in-lid secondary displays and keypads based on NVIDIA Preface are expected to hit the market early this year.
The new extensions to NVIDIA Preface platform support Bluetooth wireless communication, which will allow Windows Vista PC users to access their data from companion devices. This capability, combined with the thin, low-power design of the NVIDIA Preface platform, opens the door to a wide variety of form factors, including:
Such devices combine the benefits of portable consumer electronics devices with the versatile mobile computing features of Windows Vista, significantly enriching the evolving mobile and in-home consumer lifestyle.
"Windows SideShow and the NVIDIA Preface platform with Bluetooth are linking consumer electronics and PCs together like never before," said John Milner, general manager of personal media processors at NVIDIA Corporation. "As a result, both market segments can enjoy a new range of possibilities for delivering convenience, connectivity, and entertainment value to consumers."
SideShow devices communicate with the main PC via mini-applications called gadgets, which retrieve critical data from hard drives or online information sources. Several gadgets are expected to ship with Windows Vista, with many more available for download on the Microsoft Gadget Web site or pre-installed by the PC OEM or system builder. The NVIDIA Preface platform also includes native SideShow gadgets that interoperate with the built-in Music Player and Picture Viewer, both of which can operate even when the host PC is powered down.
"We're excited about the tremendous support and enthusiasm NVIDIA is providing for Windows Vista at this year's Consumer Electronics Show," said Brad Goldberg, general manager for Windows Client at Microsoft Corp. "By working closely together, we are helping to provide technologies that will connect, entertain, and hopefully surprise people by how easy this next generation of computing makes their lives."

CES "Best of Innovations" Winner Extends Windows SideShow Capabilities to Bluetooth-Enabled Wireless Devices
NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today announced the latest version of its Preface Personal Media Display platform, a secondary processor and display subsystem that enables users to access information from their notebook or PC even when the main system is powered down. This latest version of NVIDIA Preface platform delivers wireless capabilities to the platform for manufacturers of handheld devices who want to provide customers the full benefits of Windows SideShow, a new feature of Windows Vista, while on the move.
Chosen as a CES Innovations Honoree for 2007, NVIDIA Preface provides notebook PC users running Windows SideShow with "always-on" access to e-mail, calendars, maps, and other data via a secondary display-even when the notebook is powered down. Notebooks with in-lid secondary displays and keypads based on NVIDIA Preface are expected to hit the market early this year.
The new extensions to NVIDIA Preface platform support Bluetooth wireless communication, which will allow Windows Vista PC users to access their data from companion devices. This capability, combined with the thin, low-power design of the NVIDIA Preface platform, opens the door to a wide variety of form factors, including:
- Credit card-sized devices with a 2.5-inch display
- Gaming companion devices with 3.5-inch or larger displays
- Media Center SideShow-enabled remote controls with Bluetooth and consumer IR technology
- Integration into backpacks, carrying cases, and clothing
Such devices combine the benefits of portable consumer electronics devices with the versatile mobile computing features of Windows Vista, significantly enriching the evolving mobile and in-home consumer lifestyle.
"Windows SideShow and the NVIDIA Preface platform with Bluetooth are linking consumer electronics and PCs together like never before," said John Milner, general manager of personal media processors at NVIDIA Corporation. "As a result, both market segments can enjoy a new range of possibilities for delivering convenience, connectivity, and entertainment value to consumers."
SideShow devices communicate with the main PC via mini-applications called gadgets, which retrieve critical data from hard drives or online information sources. Several gadgets are expected to ship with Windows Vista, with many more available for download on the Microsoft Gadget Web site or pre-installed by the PC OEM or system builder. The NVIDIA Preface platform also includes native SideShow gadgets that interoperate with the built-in Music Player and Picture Viewer, both of which can operate even when the host PC is powered down.
"We're excited about the tremendous support and enthusiasm NVIDIA is providing for Windows Vista at this year's Consumer Electronics Show," said Brad Goldberg, general manager for Windows Client at Microsoft Corp. "By working closely together, we are helping to provide technologies that will connect, entertain, and hopefully surprise people by how easy this next generation of computing makes their lives."

Breast Cancer Detection Achieves Greater Contrast
Breast Cancer Detection Achieves Greater Contrast
RSNA 2007 – CHICAGO, IL – November 25, 2007 – NVIDIA Corporation, the worldwide leader of programmable graphics processor technologies, and Planar Systems, makers of specialty displays, are cooperating closely to produce display systems that will enable doctors to more effectively screen for breast cancer. The two companies are working to develop high-contrast, 10-bit grayscale display systems for use in mammography and other medical applications.
Currently, digital mammography displays that rely on standard PC workstations are limited to 8-bit grayscale, which provides only 256 possible shades of gray for each pixel. Being limited to 256 shades-of-gray can sometimes obscure valuable data when an image is displayed; mammography systems and other medical sensors, however, are capable of greater degrees of contrast.
Instead of developing specialty hardware, NVIDIA and Planar have developed a method of “pixel packing” that allows 10-bit or 12-bit grayscale data to be transmitted from an NVIDIA Quadro graphics board to a Planar Dome display using a standard DVI cable. Instead of three 8-bit grayscale channels, now two 10- or 12-bit channels are transmitted, providing up to 864 possible shades of gray at more than three times the image contrast of an 8-bit system.
The best part of this display solution is that specialty hardware is not required, making it readily available for use with other radiology functions. Instead of developing a specialty graphics board that supports 10- or 12-bit grayscale, NVIDIA has incorporated the pixel packing functionality into its Quadro driver, allowing Quadro FX 4600 graphics or higher to support a wide range of grayscale panels from various manufacturers.
The two companies will be displaying the system, using Planar’s newly introduced Dome Z16, 16MP true 10-bit display, as well as Dome E5 displays at the RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) 2007 conference in Chicago, 25-30 November. For the demo at the show, Planar has worked with ClearCanvas, an open-source healthcare IT applications company, to alter its open-source digital imaging workstation software to accept and unpack the 10- or 12-bit data. Other software vendors are free to modify their own digital imaging applications to take advantage of the technology.
The close cooperation between NVIDIA and Planar has produced something almost unique in the field of medical technology—superior imaging technology that uses industry-standard hardware. Soon, without a lot of increased costs, radiologists will be able to use these 10-bit display systems to screen for breast cancer more efficiently and with greater confidence.

Non-GAAP Measures
To supplement the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income presented in accordance with GAAP, we use non-GAAP measures of certain components of financial performance. These non-GAAP measures include non-GAAP gross profit, non-GAAP net income, and non-GAAP diluted net income per share. In order for our investors to be better able to compare our current results with those of previous periods, we have shown a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures. These reconciliations adjust the related GAAP financial measures to exclude stock-based compensation, patent license fees for past usage, a non-recurring credit associated with the net cumulative impact of estimating forfeitures as a result of the adoption of SFAS 123R, and the associated tax impact, where applicable. We believe the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures enhances the user's overall understanding of our historical financial performance. The presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures is not meant to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our non-GAAP measures may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies.

PC Industry Luminaries Lead Introduction Of New Industry Standard For Monitoring And Controlling PC Peripherals
PC Industry Luminaries Lead Introduction Of New Industry Standard For Monitoring And Controlling PC Peripherals
More Than 15 Leading PC OEMs, Motherboard, and Peripheral Manufacturers Endorse New Open Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) Specification
PC industry luminaries, including NVIDIA, Dell, HP, Alienware, Falcon Northwest, CoolerMaster, Thermaltake and others, today announced details of a new open, and royalty-free standard for the real-time monitoring and control of PC power supplies, chassis, and water-cooling systems. The Enthusiast System Architecture (ESA) specifies an information protocol that system components can use to “communicate” with each other to adjust operating parameters, and relay important system information back to the user. By implementing ESA, PC manufacturers and do-it-yourself enthusiasts can now build finely-tuned and higher performance PCs than they could have with existing proprietary solutions.
"The industry-standard device communication protocol provided with ESA enables a rich set of tools for tuning PC hardware performance. These tools offer PC enthusiasts more flexible and granular control over primary system support components," said Kevin Kettler, PhD, and CTO of Dell Inc. "For example, the ESA standard communication method is used in Dell's unique LightFX architecture, and will help accelerate development of deeply immersive ambient lighting in PC games."
The new ESA standard is built around the current USB HID class specification and is designed to support new monitoring and control capabilities for PC devices such as chassis, power supplies, and water and air cooling peripherals. Until the introduction of ESA, there was no standard communication protocol allowing such components to report information back to users. Essential data, such as temperature, thermal, voltage, and air flow attributes are made available in real-time and are critical to obtaining maximum PC performance and overclocking. With ESA, component manufacturers can now embed a wide variety of digital and analog sensors into their devices which can communicate real-time data for use in analyzing and optimizing overall PC operating conditions. In addition, ESA's logging functionality offers PC manufacturers and system builders an inexpensive and easy way to help identify PC operating abnormalities, and enable them to quickly identify and resolve customer support issues.
"ESA is a communication protocol that ties together all the key aspects of a system," said Rahul Sood, CTO of Global Gaming Business at HP. "Most significant to HP is the fact that we can potentially use ESA-enabled technology to create a unique and immediately noticeable benefit to our customers."
Companies who have worked on the development of the ESA specification and deployment of ESA-compliant hardware include:
Cross-device compatibility and compliance with the ESA specification will be handled by Allion, a leading IT testing organization. Products that have passed the Allion certification process will incorporate the new ESA logo, providing consumers with a valuable tool in their purchasing decision.
The first ESA-compliant systems, motherboards, and components will be available starting in late November from various ESA-development partners.

UPDATE
Hi! If you’re anything like me, you’ve got approximately one thousand projects going on at once, but with zero time to complete any of them. To that end, I am so sorry to give you another task, but I found a link that’s not working on your site and I just couldn’t ignore the issue.
I wanted to try to make it as easy on you as possible though, so here are all the details: the dead link is to a really important page on the CPSC.gov site:http://www.cpsc.gov/talk.html.

PRESS RELEASE as follows:
WASHINGTON, DC -- Protecto Enterprises of Barrington, IL is recalling 2,500 Zenith Data Systems Model ZVM122-T monochrome computer monitors because of electric shock hazards to consumers, and possible fire and electrical damage to computers on which they are installed. Two fires have been reported involving these monitors.
The model ZVM122-T computer monitors were developed for Federal use, and later prepared for consumer use by Protecto Enterprises. These units were sold primarily by mail order by Protecto and by Electrified Discounters of Hamden, CT in 1988-1989
Consumers having a Zenith Data Systems ZVM122-T should immediately and carefully turn off the unit and unplug it, avoiding contact with any metal parts of the cabinet or plug. The model number can be found on the back of the unit, after the unit has first been carefully unplugged.
All known purchasers are being contacted by mail. Consumers owning an affected unit may contact "122-T Recall Central" at 1-800-752-6138 for instructions on returning the unit for refund or replacement.
Zenith ZVM122 monitors which do not have the "T" suffix are not affected. Also, no ZVM122-T monitors sold to Federal agencies by Zenith Data Systems are affected.

Virtual Reality Reaches 100-Million Pixels With NVIDIA Quadro Technology
Virtual Reality Reaches 100-Million Pixels With NVIDIA Quadro Technology
NVIDIA Quadro Professional Graphics Improve Visual Computing for Iowa State University’s New Virtual Reality Applications Center
Iowa State University’s “C6,” the country’s first six-sided virtual reality room, has been redesigned to take cyber battles to new extremes with advanced visual computing. The C6, a 100-million pixel virtual experience engineered by Mechdynes’ Fakespace display division, incorporates NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics processing units (GPUs) in the improved visualization center, which operates at more than 16 times the resolution of a typical immersive room and more than double the resolution of the five-sided, 43-million pixel room also created by Mechdyne.
NVIDIA Quadro GPUs are transforming large-scale graphics at advanced visualization centers throughout the world—the C6 virtual-reality environment at Iowa State University being a spectacular example of how advanced professional graphics technology is playing a key role in research and development across a variety of disciplines.
“Highly realistic graphics are a key component to the incredible realism displayed in the new C6 virtual environment,” said James Oliver, director of Iowa State’s Virtual Reality Applications Center (VRAC) and professor of mechanical engineering at the university. “NVIDIA Quadro graphics deliver a high-resolution experience that is unmatched. The difference between the old solution and the new 100-million-pixel experience is like putting on your glasses in the morning.”
According to Matt Szymanski, VP and product manager at Mechdyne, “The NVIDIA Quadro product was the perfect fit for the functionality and performance that a system of this magnitude requires. This is not an off-the-shelf display, and we had to work closely with NVIDIA’s engineers to push the technology to the very limits of what could be delivered.”
Iowa State University’s C6 project, which is supported by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, incorporates a Hewlett-Packard computer cluster featuring 96 NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, 24 Sony digital projectors, an eight-channel audio system and ultrasonic motion tracking technology.

Anibrain Boosts Resident Evil: Extinction Visual Effects with NVIDIA Solutions
Anibrain Boosts Resident Evil: Extinction Visual Effects with NVIDIA Solutions
NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and NVIDIA Gelato Rendering Software Improve Visual Effects Pipeline for Leading Animation Studio in India
The Indian film market, popularly known as "Bollywood," is booming, but Indian filmmaking, until quite recently, has been slow to adapt to computer-generated visual effects (VFX) and animation. As Bollywood moves toward an era of slick visual effects, Indian VFX and animation studios are honing their skills and building their portfolios by taking on work from Hollywood as well as for indigenous films and commercials.
"Resident Evil: Extinction," a Sony/Screen Gems film, is the third in a series of films based on the popular "Resident Evil" games. Not only does the film deliver an outstanding movie going experience, but it elevates the role Indian studios are playing in delivering world-class visual effects. "Resident Evil: Extinction" is a sci-fi/horror film directed by veteran Russell Mulcahy and stars Milla Jovovich ("Zoolander," "The Fifth Element"). In the movie, Jovovich and her co-stars battle it out with zombies and killer crows against the post-apocalyptic landscape of a ruined Las Vegas.
One studio pushing the boundaries of VFX work on Resident Evil: Extinction is Mumbai-based Anibrain, which was founded in 2006 by Jesh Krishna Murthy, a veteran of the VFX industry who has been in involved with notable movies such as Batman Begins, Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life, and eXistenZ. Mr X Inc., a leading North American VFX studio employed the services of Anibrain for Resident Evil: Extinction and regularly uses them as an outsourcing partner for other projects. Anibrain continues to take on challenging VFX projects.
For Murthy, the key to creating a world-class, high-end animation and VFX studio in India capable of delivering visual effects with worldwide appeal was in integrating top NVIDIA Quadro professional GPUs and NVIDIA Gelato rendering software into Anibrain’s visual computing workflow.
One detailed shot from "Resident Evil: Extinction" that exemplifies the importance NVIDIA technology plays in the creative process is a "fly-through" of the interior of a satellite. The photorealistic animation was rendered entirely with Gelato film-quality rendering software on Quadro graphics boards.
"We have been very impressed with the real-time rendering capabilities of NVIDIA Quadro FX solutions and NVIDIA SLI™ technology is helping us create mind-blowing visuals in the real-time arena," says Murthy. "On the high-end, feature-quality rendering side, Gelato is an invaluable tool in our arsenal. Gelato is meeting and surpassing all our rendering needs for photo-real feature film effects."

NVIDIA Quadro GPUs and NVIDIA Gelato Rendering Software Improve Visual Effects Pipeline for Leading Animation Studio in India
The Indian film market, popularly known as "Bollywood," is booming, but Indian filmmaking, until quite recently, has been slow to adapt to computer-generated visual effects (VFX) and animation. As Bollywood moves toward an era of slick visual effects, Indian VFX and animation studios are honing their skills and building their portfolios by taking on work from Hollywood as well as for indigenous films and commercials.
"Resident Evil: Extinction," a Sony/Screen Gems film, is the third in a series of films based on the popular "Resident Evil" games. Not only does the film deliver an outstanding movie going experience, but it elevates the role Indian studios are playing in delivering world-class visual effects. "Resident Evil: Extinction" is a sci-fi/horror film directed by veteran Russell Mulcahy and stars Milla Jovovich ("Zoolander," "The Fifth Element"). In the movie, Jovovich and her co-stars battle it out with zombies and killer crows against the post-apocalyptic landscape of a ruined Las Vegas.
One studio pushing the boundaries of VFX work on Resident Evil: Extinction is Mumbai-based Anibrain, which was founded in 2006 by Jesh Krishna Murthy, a veteran of the VFX industry who has been in involved with notable movies such as Batman Begins, Lara Croft: The Cradle of Life, and eXistenZ. Mr X Inc., a leading North American VFX studio employed the services of Anibrain for Resident Evil: Extinction and regularly uses them as an outsourcing partner for other projects. Anibrain continues to take on challenging VFX projects.
For Murthy, the key to creating a world-class, high-end animation and VFX studio in India capable of delivering visual effects with worldwide appeal was in integrating top NVIDIA Quadro professional GPUs and NVIDIA Gelato rendering software into Anibrain’s visual computing workflow.
One detailed shot from "Resident Evil: Extinction" that exemplifies the importance NVIDIA technology plays in the creative process is a "fly-through" of the interior of a satellite. The photorealistic animation was rendered entirely with Gelato film-quality rendering software on Quadro graphics boards.
"We have been very impressed with the real-time rendering capabilities of NVIDIA Quadro FX solutions and NVIDIA SLI™ technology is helping us create mind-blowing visuals in the real-time arena," says Murthy. "On the high-end, feature-quality rendering side, Gelato is an invaluable tool in our arsenal. Gelato is meeting and surpassing all our rendering needs for photo-real feature film effects."

The recent introduction of Microsoft Vista and a slew of other 3D-optimized applications, including Google Maps and Microsoft Office 2007, has redefined customers' expectations for experiencing visually-rich mainstream applications on their home and business PCs. As a result, consumers have now made the GPU a primary requirement in their PC purchasing decisions. As the only independent GPU provider, NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) is well positioned to capitalize on this emerging trend, and is proud to announce that it has extended its family of GeForce 7-Series motherboard graphics processing units (mGPUs) to Intel processor-based PCs. Starting today, GeForce graphics are more affordable and accessible than ever before for Intel customers.
"The use of powerful graphics is not limited to just games anymore. Many of today's most popular business and consumer applications, including Adobe Acrobat, Second Life, and Apple iTunes are optimized for the power of a modern GPU," said Jon Peddie, president of Jon Peddie Research (JPR), a leading market research firm based in Tiburon, CA. "With their new GeForce mGPUs, NVIDIA is pioneering the development of new graphics technologies that are helping to evolve the capabilities of mainstream PC platforms. Customers understand that their overall PC experience is largely defined by the graphics processors. Anyone, from a seasoned IT pro to a college student can compare the PC experience delivered by NVIDIA mGPUs against any traditional integrated graphics solution and realize the dramatic impact a modern GPU can make."
The NVIDIA GeForce 7150 mGPU delivers the performance of an entry-level discrete GPU and leading graphics compatibility when compared against traditional integrated graphics solutions. The GeForce 7150, 7100, and 7050 mGPUs are designed to support a full range of Intel CPUs (Core 2, Pentium, and Celeron CPU families), including upcoming 45nm Intel "Penryn" processors and other new features, such as 1333MHz frontside bus technology. In addition to delivering an unparalleled graphics experience to mainstream PCs, the GeForce 7-Series mGPUs support optional HDMI or DVI digital output capability to enable the playback of protected digital content directly from the PC to high-definition televisions and other displays.
Designed as single chip solutions for cost-effective PC system integration for both AMD and Intel platforms, all NVIDIA GeForce 7-Series mGPUs enable the premium graphics experience on Windows Vista, and incorporate NVIDIA nForce core-logic functionality, including advanced storage and networking features for powering today's connected digital lifestyles.

NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 Architecture Now Available Top-to-Bottom
NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 Architecture Now Available Top-to-Bottom
Powerful GPU Architecture Enables Breakthrough Capabilities from Ultra-High-End 3D to Professional 2D Segments
Earlier this year, NVIDIA unveiled its record-setting NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 and Quadro FX 4600 professional graphics boards based on an industry-changing unified architecture that delivers high-performance processing, support for Shader Model 4.0, NVIDIA GPU computing, and other breakthrough features. Today, the company extended the family, with the launch of new mid-range and entry-level 2D and 3D Quadro boards for professionals in the CAD/CAM, DCC, medical imaging, digital video and financial sectors. The new Quadro professional graphics also redefine the price/performance dynamic for professional graphics—from the Quadro FX 370, available for the unprecedented entry price of $129 MSRP to the Quadro FX 1700, with an MSRP of $699. These new boards have the capabilities required to visualize the latest generation of complex 2D, video and 3D content. Now there is a Quadro solution for many types of users, projects and budgets.
The NVIDIA Quadro professional series now includes:
Entry-Level 3D - Quadro FX 370, 256 MB
Professional 2D - Quadro NVS 290, 256 MB
Entry-Level 3D - Quadro FX 570, 256 MB
Mid-Range 3D - Quadro FX 1700, 512 MB
"NVIDIA breathed new life into the upper end of the professional graphics market, and now they’re pushing in the other direction with the Quadro FX 370—driving current generation GPU technology to a very aggressive sub $150 price point—and this focus should be rewarded once more," said Jon Peddie, principal, Jon Peddie Research. "There are a lot of budget conscious professionals out there who may have opted for consumer-class graphics in the past, but will now take the step to the promise of better performance and reliability of ISV-certified Quadro FX hardware."
The new NVIDIA unified architecture dynamically allocates geometry, shading, pixel processing and compute power, allowing 3D content developers to use the full power of the board’s rendering capabilities regardless of the type of rendering they require. Game developers who have performance-optimized polygonal models with lots of textures will devote more of the board’s shaders to textures. Automotive and aerospace engineers, whose models consist of high-density polygonal models and few or no textures, will use most of the board’s power for vertex calculations. And a styling designer working with both polygon and vertex-based models will find that the board dynamically allocates the shader pipeline based on what part and how much detail of the model is visible.
In addition to sharing the same core unified architecture and drivers, all NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics solutions are now Shader Model 4.0 compliant and come with the increased frame buffer capacity needed to make them fully Microsoft Vista ready.
These latest boards also support the new NVIDIA CUDA GPU-computing software architecture. Computing with NVIDIA CUDA technology extends the functionality of the GPU to address a wide range of mathematically intensive problems. This breakthrough computing architecture in NVIDIA's latest generation of GPUs is complemented by the CUDA C language programming environment and tool suite.
"With a complete line-up of new graphics technology, HP and NVIDIA can now provide engineers and artists with a choice of solutions to meet their needs," said Will Wade, global product manager for HP workstations. "This complete line-up provides the latest technologies of NVIDIA’s unified architecture and Shader Model 4.0 to every user, from the entry-level review of assembly drawings all the way up to the most extreme designer."
"NVIDIA continues to elevate graphics performance for professional SOFTIMAGEXSI artists in the 3D animation community, and the company’s certification programs and ongoing commitment to driver development ensures stability in the production pipeline," said Marc Stevens, General Manager and Vice President of Softimage, Co, a subsidiary of Avid Technology, Inc. "By unifying its Quadro series of graphics with its high-performance unified architecture, NVIDIA solutions combined with SOFTIMAGE animation tools offer outstanding graphics performance, reliability, and price points to the most demanding 3D artists."
