From our front-page news:

Graphic designer on a budget? NVIDIA has you covered. Up until now, NVIDIA's Quadro FX offerings have been high-end and far too pricey for the novice or intermediate graphic designer. Yesterday, they took care of that problem with the release of the Quadro FX 370, NVS 290, FX 570 and also the FX 1700, ranging between $129 and $699, bottom-to-top.

The three lowest-end models each feature 256MB of GDDR3, while the FX 1700 features 512MB. Each one of the cards includes SM 4.0 support, in addition to support for NVIDIA's Cuda GPU-computing software architecture. No exact date is given on these new releases, but it might be assumed that you will be able to acquire them through OEM means in the weeks to come.


Today, the company extended the family, with the launch of new mid-range and entry-level 2D and 3D Quadro boards for professionals in the CAD/CAM, DCC, medical imaging, digital video and financial sectors. The new Quadro professional graphics also redefine the price/performance dynamic for professional graphics—from the Quadro FX 370, available for the unprecedented entry price of $129 MSRP to the Quadro FX 1700, with an MSRP of $699.
