High Performance Visual Computing from the Data Center

Creative and technical professionals across many industries face increasingly complex problems as they produce more data and create higher-quality content faster than ever before. These challenges are compounded exponentially as globally distributed teams continue to work remotely. Data centers must now provide the graphics and compute power that professionals need to tackle multiple visual computing workloads spanning the enterprise, from rendering and engineering simulation, to interactive graphics on virtual workstations.

To drive visual computing workflows, professionals require incredibly powerful computing solutions that support the latest technologies and are capable of powering diverse applications and multiple workloads from the data center. Subsequently, the IT teams supporting these professionals require a secure, scalable, and easy-to-manage solution that delivers the performance of a physical workstation, and enables true real-time collaboration, with the flexibility to work from anywhere.

NVIDIA’s visualization platform fuels innovation from the desktop to data center to cloud while delivering unparalleled performance and AI capabilities. Whether you’re developing cutting-edge products, telling immersive stories, or reimagining cities of the future, only NVIDIA RTX and NVIDIA Quadro professional solutions help you do it better and faster.

RTX Technology

Powering a New Generation of Innovation 

NVIDIA RTX technology is one of NVIDIA’s most important advances in computer graphics, ushering in a new generation of applications that simulate the physical world at unprecedented speeds. Enhanced with the latest enhancements in AI, ray tracing, and simulation, RTX technology enables incredible 3D designs, photorealistic simulations, and stunning visual effects – faster than ever.

Core Technologies

Ray Tracing

RTX technology realizes the dream of real-time cinematic-quality rendering through optimized ray-tracing APIs such as NVIDIA OptiXMicrosoft DXR, and Vulkan. The ability to render photorealistic objects and environments in real time with perfectly accurate shadows, reflections, and refractions now makes it possible for artists and designers to create amazing content faster than ever before.

Artificial Intelligence

NVIDIA RTX technology brings the power of AI to visual computing, enabling developers to create AI-augmented applications that bring unprecedented workflow acceleration to end users. This dramatically accelerates creativity for artists and designers by freeing up time and resources through intelligent manipulation of images, automation of repetitive tasks, and optimization of compute-intensive processes.

Rasterization

NVIDIA RTX technology brings the power of AI to visual computing, enabling developers to create AI-augmented applications that bring unprecedented workflow acceleration to end users. This dramatically accelerates creativity for artists and designers by freeing up time and resources through intelligent manipulation of images, automation of repetitive tasks, and optimization of compute-intensive processes.

Simulation

Lifelike visuals are the result of not only how something looks, but also of how it behaves. With the power of CUDA® cores and APIs such as NVIDIA PhysX®FlowFleX, and CUDA, RTX technology enables accurate modelling of the behavior of real-world objects in everything from games to virtual environments and special effects.

Ampere Technology

Performance Amplified

The NVIDIA RTX platform revolutionized professional visual computing forever. The NVIDIA Ampere architecture builds on the power of RTX to significantly enhance the performance of rendering, graphics, AI, and compute workloads. Engineered to perfection and featuring cutting-edge innovations, NVIDIA Ampere takes RTX to new heights for professional workloads.

Since inventing the world’s first GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) in 1999, NVIDIA GPUs have been at the forefront of 3D graphics and GPU-accelerated computing. Each NVIDIA GPU Architecture is carefully designed to provide breakthrough levels of performance and efficiency. The family of new NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPUs is designed to accelerate many different types of computationally intensive applications and workloads. The first NVIDIA Ampere architecture GPU, the A100, was released in May 2020 and provides tremendous speedups for AI training and inference, HPC workloads, and data analytics applications.

Turing Technology

Graphics Reinvented

Turing was the world’s first GPU architecture to offer high performance real-time ray tracing, AI-accelerated graphics, energy-efficient inference acceleration for the data center, and professional graphics rendering all in one product.

The greatest leap since the invention of the NVIDIA CUDA GPU in 2006, the NVIDIA Turing architecture fuses real-time ray tracing, AI, simulation, and rasterization to fundamentally change computer graphics.

Turing features RT Cores to accelerate ray tracing and Tensor Cores for AI Inference. Together, for the first time, they make real-time ray tracing possible, opening up amazing creative possibilities that until recently were assumed to be years away.
