Professionals Interact With Life-Size Virtual Models in Real Time With New
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G and Powerwall Technology
SIGGRAPH - SAN DIEGO, July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- At the SIGGRAPH
2003 convention today, NVIDIA Corporation (Nasdaq: NVDA), the worldwide leader
in visual processing solutions, demonstrated how professionals can explore,
understand, and communicate data in ways not possible in the physical world.
Using its new NVIDIA Quadro(R) FX 3000G workstation solution, the Company
showed how it can synchronize images from nine industry-standard systems and
output them onto one extremely large, high-resolution display.

"With the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G, professionals have a way to build a
truly frame-locked multi-screen experience with amazing performance," said
David Nahon, virtual reality and simulation solutions manager at Virtools.
"But that's not all. For the first time in the history of visual clusters,
pixels and vertex shaders are now available on frame-lockable graphics boards.
NVIDIA's programmable graphics revolution is on its way to CAVE, dome and
other immersive visualization venues."
In its main SIGGRAPH booth (#2625), NVIDIA demonstrated a multi-system
cluster powered by NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G professional graphics solutions
running Realtime Technology's DeltaGen software displaying an upcoming Porsche
Carrera GT model on nine large screens assembled in a 3x3 configuration. Using
two inexpensive projectors, an NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000, and RTT software, NVIDIA
demonstrated its single-system powerwall technology by displaying a virtual
Mercedes SLK on a conference room wall in its art booth (#1611).
"With the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000G, the company
can support a broad range of advanced visualization solutions from a
single-system powerwall to multiple systems linked in a cluster for
large-scale displays," said Sarang Ghatpande, analyst at D.H. Brown &
Associates. "Once people realize how useful advanced visualization technology
like this is to problem-solving, there's no looking back. NVIDIA's new
professional graphics solutions will be a very popular."
