Nvidia has based the Quadro 5000 highly successful Kepler architecture, and it described as 'the most powerful professional-class GPU ever for the Macintosh'. The Quadro 5000 offers a number of important architectural changes compared to the earlier hardware, including an increase in per-clock throughput of key graphics operations, a 4GB frame buffer capable of displaying complex models and scenes, and dramatically improved power efficiencies.
The announcement was made at the IBC 2012 trade show in Amsterdam earlier this week and it is the company's first Quadro card for the Mac Pro since the Fermi-based Quadro 4000, released November 2010. Apple might not be enthusiastic about updating the Mac Pro, but Nvidia is stepping up to the plate and gearing up to release Quadro K5000 graphic card for Apple's workstation.
