NVIDIA has just released it’s new Quadro CX graphics card. It’s been designed in conjunction with Adobe to specifically accelerate certain features of the recently announced CS4 suite. I attended an online demo yesterday and the technology involved looked very impressive.
The Quadro CX allowed very fluid interaction with your content in Photoshop, After Effects, and Premiere. Many of the simple tasks, such as resizing and rotation were instantaneous, and certain time consuming tasks such as h.264 encoding were greatly accelerated. The Quadro CX is squarely aimed at Adobe professionals, where time is money. We hope to get one in soon to test out for you.
The card itself has 1.5 Gigs of graphics memory and is priced at $1,999, and has drivers for both XP and Vista. A Mac version is currently “under discussion”.
