The new graphics card offer a performance boost with the monster GP100 for workstations and the Quadro P600 for mainstream particularly those using tools like Illustrator and Photoshop.

NVIDIA's Pascal is the latest architecture following Maxwell which succeeded Keplar. Pascal boasts of a performance boost in various categories. It supports VR, photo realism, and deep learning technologies.

Deep learning is now the latest trend that uses huge data sets and continuously evolving in terms of complexity. However, for gamers, Pascal's greatest contribution is that it enables 4K resolution doable in just a single graphics card. Compared to Maxwell, Pascal is able to streamline design and workflows with as much as double the performance from previous-generation Quadro cards.

Now NVIDIA now has announced that the entire professional Quadro line for the desktop is based on Pascal, Moreover, top to bottom solutions are provided for both highly demanding and mainstream users alike.

Demanding users now have the Quadro P1000 and P2000 cards. These are ideal for entry-level users of videos or animation software like the 3ds Max, premiere Pro, After Effects, Nuke or Maya.

NVIDIA also announced the top-end Quadro GP100 that can transform an ordinary desktop into a supercomputer. The card comes with 16GB of second-generation HBM2 and offers more than 20 TFLOPs of 16-bitfloating point precision computing according to Hot Hardware.

Pricing of the new NVIDIA Quadro graphics cards based on Pascal has not been disclosed as of yet. The cards will be available by March initially for workstation OEMs as well as authorized distribution partners like PNY in North America and Europe, Leadtek in Asia Pacific and ELSA/Ryoyo in Japan.
