NVidia’s newest Quadro card, the FX4800, is out and running on the GT200 GPU. It’s not cheap, selling for approx $1500, but with 1.5GB of GDDR3 onboard memory, it’s a powerhouse for CAD and graphics designers. Tom’sHardware got one and put it through it’s paces.
When it comes to the Quadro FX 4800, in fact, there really is no completely comparable mainstream equivalent model. We picked the GeForce GTX 260 and the GTX 280 as our points of comparison, simply because the Quadro FX 4800 falls somewhere in between these two models.
The GPU Nvidia chose for this product is the GT200 D10U-20, built using 65 nanometer technology. With 1.4 billion transistors, this is one of the biggest and densest chips around. It also includes 192 parallel, CUDA-capable stream processors, just like the GTX 260 offers.
