Nvidia adds special FX for workstations

Zardon · Jan 21, 2003, 05:43 PM

Graphics chip leader Nvidia plans to announce Tuesday a new line of high-end chips for graphic artists, mechanical designers and other professionals.
The new Quadro FX chips are the next step in Nvidia's Quadro line of graphics chips for workstations, which are high-performance PCs used for computer-assisted drafting, 3D animation and other demanding tasks. Workstations are a relatively small but profitable segment of the PC business, with annual sales of around 1 million units.

News of the chips follows the announcement in November of the GeForce FX chip, designed for consumer and business PCs. The GeForce FX, expected to become available to consumers in March, has been the subject of repeated delays, mostly linked to Nvidia's shift to a more efficient 0.13-micron chipmaking process.
