The Nvidia Quadro K5000 for Mac is based on the architecture Kepler from Nvidia who describe her as “the most powerful professional GPU yet for Mac“ which, to be fair, is not difficult as it is the only model currently available. AMD does not make compatible cards for Mac currently because, unlike on Windows PCs, Manzana controls the video drivers for each of the graphics cards Therefore, to launch one for this platform, you must first agree with those responsible for Mac, something that is not always easy.
The Quadro K5000 GPU is compatible with screens of high resolution 4K, a new screen engine that allows up to four monitors simultaneously, 4 GB of graphics RAM and compatibility with OpenGL, OpenCL and the architecture CUDA by Nvidia (which allows you to speed up non-3D tasks such as video rendering and effects). Do not forget that up to two Nvidia Quadro K5000 GPUs can be connected to a single Mac Pro, which can literally skyrocket the performance of our team.
Even though the latest updates to the line Mac Pro have left the professionals who use these equipment, without a doubt the launch of this type of hardware ensures a long life to the equipment professionals emblem of Manzana.
The Nvidia Quadro K5000 will go on sale at the end of 2012 for a price of 2,249 EUR although it will only be available through specialized sellers and not via Manzana as usual.
