With the introduction of the NVIDIA Quadro® Plex visual computing system (VCS), NVIDIA delivers a quantum leap in visual compute density, enabling breakthrough levels of productivity and capability.

Professionals ranging from manufacturing designers and stylists to earth scientists to digital content creators can solve their most complex, graphics-intensive problems using an unconstrained dedicated visual computing system based on proven, industry standard architectures.


Key Features:

  • Featuring NVIDIA SLI multi-GPU technology, this dedicated VCS, scales graphics computing to meet the most demanding professional CAD, DCC, and visualization application requirements. Multiple NVIDIA Quadro Plex VCSs can be combined to further scale performance, quality and channels (Models II, & IV only).
  • Based on proven, industry standard architectures, NVIDIA Quadro Plex provides the flexibility to be deployed with any certified PCI Express® x16 or x8* platform.
  • Ultra Dense, 1U Server Form Factor designed to deliver uncompromised Visual Computing Performance (Model S4 only).
