Posted on: Monday, 28 June 2004, 06:00 CDT

PARSIPPANY, N.J., June 28 /PRNewswire/ -- PNY Technologies, Inc., in conjunction with their partner NVIDIA Corporation, the worldwide leader in visual processing solutions, today unveils a full line of NVIDIA Quadro(R) graphics boards that capitalize on the revolutionary PCI Express(TM) interconnect standard announced by Intel Corporation. The new NVIDIA Quadro by PNY Technologies graphics solutions are PCI Express-enabled and provide the industry's highest performance, top-to-bottom selection of workstation boards that offer more bandwidth than AGP-based alternatives as well as faster processing power for professional 2D and 3D applications.

The new PCI Express high-performance I/O interconnect standard doubles the previous AGP8x bus bandwidth to 8GB/sec. bi-directionally. Taking advantage of this next generation technology, NVIDIA Quadro by PNY Technologies graphics boards based on PCI Express feature isochronous data transfer to reduce system bottlenecks and bi-directional data transfer for blazing fast read-back performance. The new high-end FX 3400 graphics model supports NVIDIA SLI (Scaleable Link Interface). SLI allows users to plug two FX 3400 graphics boards into multi-GPU PCI Express-compatible motherboards for true scalable graphics performance.

"The PCI Express revolution provides PNY Technologies with an opportunity to continue to deliver world-class NVIDIA Quadro graphics technology to our partners through a full spectrum of professional 2D and 3D graphics solutions," said Eric Shiroke, general manager of professional graphics for PNY Technologies. "As the graphics industry continues to require more bandwidth, PNY Technologies delivers the highest standard of professional graphics solutions to keep pace with these requirements and the headroom to handle future hardware needs."

"We continue to evolve and expand the NVIDIA Quadro professional graphics family to meet the needs of all types of professional 2D and 3D applications users," said Jeff Brown, general manager of professional graphics at NVIDIA. "As we broaden our product portfolio and bring innovative new technologies - like PCI Express - to market in our NVIDIA Quadro products, PNY Technologies is there to ensure that our common customers of all industries, sizes, and compute requirements get the most powerful and appropriate graphics solution for their needs."
