The Quadro RTX 4000 graphics  card — the company’s first midrange professional GPU is powered by NVIDIA Turing architecture and NVIDIA RTX platform.

Unveiled at the annual Autodesk University Conference in Las Vegas, the Quadro RTX 4000 puts real-time ray tracing within reach of a wider range of developers, designers and artists worldwide.

Professionals from the manufacturing, architecture, engineering and media creation industries witnessed a seismic shift in computer graphics with the launch of Turing in August.

The field’s greatest leap since the invention of the CUDA GPU in 2006, Turing features new RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and next-gen Tensor Cores for AI inferencing which, together for the first time, make real-time ray tracing possible.

The Quadro RTX 4000 features a power-efficient, single-slot design that fits in variety of workstation chassis. Other benefits include:  ● Significant performance improvements — 8GB of ultra-fast GDDR6 graphics memory technology provides over 40 percent more memory bandwidth than the previous generation Quadro P4000. ● 36 RT Cores — enable real-time ray tracing of objects and environments with physically accurate shadows, reflections, refractions, and global illumination.

• 288 Turing Tensor Cores for 57 TFLOPS of deep learning performance — accelerate neural network training and inference, which are critical to powering AI-enhanced rendering, products and services. ● Hardware support for VirtualLink — new open industry standard meets the power, display and bandwidth demands of next-generation VR headsets through a single USB-C connector1. ● Improved performance of VR applications — new and enhanced technologies include Variable Rate Shading, Multi-View Rendering and VRWorks Audio. ● Video encode and decode engines — accelerate video creation and playback for multiple video streams with resolutions up to 8K.

OEM support

Leading OEMs have voiced their support for new Turing-based Quadro RTX 4000 GPUs: “AI and real-time ray tracing are enabling Dell Precision customers to work smarter and faster than ever before. The NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 GPUs in Dell Precision Tower workstations will enable more immersive workflows, inferencing, training and hyper realistic visualisation for a wide range of professionals.

“We’re excited about the amazing breakthroughs Dell and NVIDIA will enable for our customers,” said Rahul Tikoo, vice president and general manager of Commercial Specialty Products at Dell. 

“The ability for real-time ray tracing is driving the greatest advancement in computer graphics in almost two decades. The amazing horsepower of Z by HP Workstations combined with the new capabilities of one or more Quadro RTX 4000 GPUs means millions of creatives, engineers and other professionals can create their best work ever,” said Xavier Garcia, vice president and general manager of Z by HP at HP Inc.

The power and possibilities of the new NVIDIA Quadro RTX 4000 will change the way people will create and design the world around them.

Creative and technical professionals will now be able to unlock new levels of performance and AI-based capabilities in order to make more informed decisions faster and tackle demanding design and visualisation workloads with ease.
