Con la seguente press release nVidia ha ufficialmente introdotto le nuove schede video della famiglia Quadro 4, evoluzione dei modelli GeForce 4 e GeForce 4 MX pensati per impieghi di grafica professionale.

LONDON - FEBRUARY 19TH, 2002 - NVIDIA® Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA) today introduced the Quadro*4 family of professional graphics solutions. The Quadro4 family of professional graphics solutions includes the Quadro4 XGL series and the Quadro4 NVS series - all of which deliver industry-leading performance and innovative features, strengthening NVIDIA's position as the technology leader in the professional graphics market.

"For the last three years, NVIDIA has fundamentally changed the world of professional and workstation graphics. With the Quadro4 family, NVIDIA is changing the landscape of the professional graphics market once again," said Jen-Hsun Huang, president and CEO at NVIDIA. "The Quadro4 family's performance and groundbreaking new features, including NVIDIA's nView(tm) multidisplay technology, extend NVIDIA's position as the premier provider of graphics solutions for the professional market."

The Quadro4 XGL Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) line up provides the ideal graphics solution for every workstation user - from the power user who makes his living with computer-aided design (CAD) or digital content creation (DCC) applications and requires the fastest professional graphics solution available to the occasional designer who needs entry-level performance at an aggressive price. Quadro 4 XGL GPUs support advanced shader operations and are designed to accelerate OpenGL® and DirectX® professional applications by implementing workstation specific functionality, such as hardware overlay planes, hardware-accelerated antialiased points and lines, advanced memory management and other features critical to improving performance in professional applications.
