Nvidia introduces Quadro M2000 with Maxwell GPU
Nvidia has announced a new video card in the Quadro line for workstations. The Quadro M2000 uses the Maxwell GPU, has 768 cudacores and 4GB gddr5 memory with a 128-bit memory bus. Four 4k screens can be connected.
In terms of computing power, the Quadro M2000 is comparable to the GeForce GTX 950. However, the Quadro variant has more memory and more displayport connections. Up to four monitors can be controlled simultaneously with a resolution of up to 4096×2160 pixels at 60Hz. Furthermore, compatibility with professional software is guaranteed with the Quadro cards and they are supported for longer. No power connection is required, the M2000 consumes a maximum of 75 watts and can therefore be powered by the PCI-e slot.
The Quadro M2000 succeeds the K2200. That card from 2013 was also based on the Maxwell architecture, but the new model has more cudacores and therefore more computing power. What the Quadro M2000 will cost has not been disclosed. Manufacturers offer the predecessor for about 425 euros at the time of writing.
