Nvidia Installs Flagship Graphics Chip onto Tesla Compute Card

Nvidia Corp. on Tuesday introduced its new high-end compute card designed for high-performance scientific computing. The novelty utilizes the company's latest code-named GF110 graphics processing unit, has 512 stream processors and delivers the industry's highest compute performance among specially designed accelerators.

Nvidia Tesla M2090 compute card is based on the code-named GF110 graphics processor clocked at 650/1300MHz that has all the 512 stream processors enabled. The board also has 6GB of GDDR5 memory with ECC clocked at 3.70GHz. Thanks to usage of the more advanced graphics processor for computing, the novelty delivers roughly 665GFLOPS of double precision performance, which is about 30% more horsepower than the predecessor M2070.

 

In the latest version of Amber 11, one of the most widely used applications for simulating behaviors of biomolecules, four Tesla M2090 GPUs coupled with four CPUs delivered record performance of 69 nanoseconds of simulation per day. The fastest AMBER performance recorded on a CPU-only supercomputer is 46 ns/day, according to Nvidia. In addition to AMBER, the Tesla M2090 GPU is well suited to a wide range of GPU-accelerated HPC applications.

Nvidia to Release New Version of Dual-Chip Flagship Graphics Card

Nvidia Corp. plans to release a new version of its dual-chip flagship GeForce GTX graphics card that will be more overclockable. The company intends to re-invent print-circuit board of the graphics card in a bid to improve its reliability in cases of overclocking, a media report claims.

The new GeForce GTX 590 graphics card - which is powered by two code-named GF110 graphics processing units (GPUs) and features 3GB of GDDR5 memory - will have new inductors, larger printed circuit board (PCB) and a new cooling solutions, reports VR-Zone web-site. The new inductors and design will eliminate possibility of failure during overclocking, which is something that enthusiasts demand from a top-of-the-range graphics cards.

Nvidia to release their GeForce GTX 590 dual-GPU in February

GeForce GTX 590 is the confirmed name of NVIDIA's coming graphics card flagship. With dual GF110 GPUs the beafy graphics card will offer 1024 CUDA cores and 3GB memory. Perhaps the most exciting is that the launch is set for February, in the same timeframe as AMD Radeon HD 6990 is expected to arrive.

NVIDIA's Fermi architecture have gone from being a laugh in 2009 to being the father of a very respectable graphics card family that boasts the fastest single-GPU graphics card around - GeForce GTX 580.

The company is on a roll now and is expected to follow up the launch of GeForce GTX 560 Ti with a new flagship. The new graphics card comes with dual graphics circuits and according to reliable sources the name is set to GeForce GTX 590.
