Nvidia announced 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. 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. These new boards have the capabilities required to visualize the latest generation of complex 2D, video and 3D content.

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.
