New! NVIDIA® Quadro® CX —The Accelerator for Adobe CS4!

Now that Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 is fully accelerated by NVIDIA GPUs, professional videographers, digital artists, and graphic designers have the performance, tools and reliability needed to create cutting edge content.

With 6 million creative professionals* in the marketplace, the ability to offer systems uniquely suited to this key audience represents a significant market expansion opportunity.

Why Does an Adobe User need Quadro?
Creativity is not just their passion, it’s their business.  With NVIDIA Quadro you can provide value that is essential to your professional customer’s success:

A Faster Way to Work – Time is Money
Quadro graphics solutions deliver GPU-accelerated rendering time for rich visual effects in Adobe® Premiere® Pro CS4 and Adobe® After Effects® CS4. Plus, Quadro CX delivers up to 4x faster H.264 video encoding speeds** with the NVIDIA® CUDA™-enabled plug-in for Premiere Pro CS4. With no need for an additional discrete encoder card, Quadro CX offers maximum performance at a lower total cost of ownership.

A Better Way to Work - Tools are the key to success
Fluid, real-time interactions with the Adobe Photoshop® canvas allow for smoother zooming and image rotation. Workflows can be spread across multiple displays using nView® desktop and application management features. Accurately see deliverables on an extensive selection of displays with output choices including dual-link DVI.  Also, with Quadro CX, choices include DisplayPort or optional uncompressed 10-bit and 12-bit SDI***.

A More Reliable Way to Work – Minimize system downtime
NVIDIA and Adobe together invest significant engineering hours to test and optimize Quadro solutions, so there is less likelihood of an issue that can interrupt a workflow.  Quadro graphics solutions are designed and optimized by NVIDIA to ensure your customer’s system works when they need it.     The NVIDIA® Quadro® CX is the accelerator for Adobe® Creative Suite® 4
