Key NVIDIA Quadro K5000 GPU features include:īindless Textures that give users the ability to reference over 1 million textures directly in memory while reducing CPU overheadįXAA/TXAA film-style anti-aliasing technologies for outstanding image quality Powered by the Kepler architecture, the second generation of Maximus improves both the visualization and computation capabilities of the platform. We no longer have to settle for less or to compromise on our creativity." "With the NVIDIA Maximus-powered environment, we can continue to refine and improve our design, right up to the last minute. "With the parallel processing capabilities enabled by NVIDIA Maximus systems, we can now be 10 times more creative," said Alan Barrington, a designer at the Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Center California. Maximus unified technology transparently and automatically assigns visualization and simulation or rendering work to the right processor. With this second generation of Maximus, compute work is assigned to run on the new NVIDIA Tesla® K20 GPU computing accelerator, freeing up the new NVIDIA Quadro K5000 GPU to handle graphics functions. Maximus initially broke new ground as a single system that handles interactive graphics and the compute-intensive number crunching required to simulate or render them - resulting in dramatically accelerated workflows. Now supported by Kepler-based GPUs, Maximus delivers unparalleled performance and efficiency to professionals in fields as varied as manufacturing, visual effects and oil exploration. The Maximus platform, introduced in November, gives workstation users the ability to simultaneously perform complex analysis and visualization on a single machine.
