Based on Nvidia’s CUDA parallel-computing architecture, the GPUs enable outstanding graphics performance in the new generation of Intel Core i7-based mobile workstations from Dell, Fujitsu Technology Solutions, HP and Lenovo. NVIDIA is the only supplier to provide exactly the right graphics solution for a wide variety of mobile workstations: for an entry-level device such as HP’s 14.1-inch EliteBook 8440w small-form-factor computer, as well as for Dell’s 17-inch high-end Precision M6500 PC.
Certified for the most demanding CAD, DCC and professional graphics applications, the new Quadro FX mobile graphics solutions are powerful and energy-efficient solutions for scientists, engineers and designers. Every application using OpenGL, Shader Model, Microsoft DirectX, DirectCompute or OpenCL is supported.

The new GPU solutions offer a graphics framebuffer of up to 1 GB and 30-bit colour accuracy: features that open up unmatched visualisation possibilities.
The lowest possible power consumption is now also one of the criteria that influences users’ purchasing decisions for mobile workstations. The new Quadro FX offers high energy efficiency through modern power-saving technologies such as NVIDIA PowerMizer, which enables longer battery life without performance losses.
Further mobile workstations with Quadro FX GPUs will be launched over the course of the year - from entry level through to high end.
