Nvidia has revealed the Quadro K6000 GPU. The company's latest graphics processor delivers five-times higher compute performance and nearly double the graphics capability of its predecessor, the Quadro 6000 GPU. Along with the GPU, the company has also launched a new line of professional graphics GPUs for mobile workstations, delivering the highest levels of performance and graphics memory ever available on mobile platforms.

Combining performance and advanced capabilities in a power-efficient design, the Quadro K6000 GPU enables leading organisations such as Pixar, Nissan, Apache Corporation and the Weather Channel's WSI division to tackle visualisation and analysis workloads of unprecedented size and scope. The Quadro K6000 GPU is based on the NVIDIA Kepler architecture. Features of the processor include a 12GB ultra-fast GDDR5 graphics memory, 2,880 streaming multi-processor (SMX) cores, support for four simultaneous displays and up to 4k resolution with DisplayPort 1.2 and an ultra-low latency video I/O and support for large-scale visualisations.
