Why choose a professional GPU

Benefits of choosing a professional graphics card

NVIDIA GPUs are designed to scale across almost every industry where performance and reliability are essential. From stunning industrial design to advanced special effects to complex scientific visualization, NVIDIA RTX™ is the world’s preeminent visual computing platform.

Whether you’re working at home, in the office or using a datacenter, Dell Precision workstations with NVIDIA professional graphics has a product designed for you.

GPU Features

NVIDIA workstation GPUs feature groundbreaking innovations designed to help industries around the world solve their biggest challenges.

GPU Architecture

The NVIDIA professional visual computing platform is constantly evolving and there’s been forward momentum with each new GPU architecture developed. Each architecture not only added more memory and performance than its predecessor, but it also incorporated unique hardware features.

CUDA Cores

Thousands of applications have been developed or enhanced with CUDA. Dell workstations with NVIDIA RTX™ and Quadro® GPUs bring the power of supercomputers to the desktop with CUDA based applications.

RT Cores

This first generation of RT Cores accelerated ray tracing by up to 25x compared to previous GPUs, and up to 30x faster than CPUs.

Tensor Cores

The NVIDIA Ampere architecture uses third generation Tensor Cores to provide up to 20x higher performance over the prior generation and can be partitioned into seven GPU instances to dynamically adjust to shifting demands.

Solutions

Blender Cycles with NVIDIA RTX
Blender is an open-source 3D software package that comes with the Cycles Renderer. Cycles is already a GPU enabled path-tracer, now super-charged.

RTX Visualization - AI Solutions

Blender, an open-source 3D software package, comes with Cycles Renderer. Cycles is a GPU enabled path-tracer, super-charged with the latest generation of RTX GPUs. Furthering the rendering speed, RTX AI features render results for a truly interactive ray tracing experience.

NVIDIA Marbles at Night
NVIDIA Marbles at Night RTX is a fully playable physics-based game. It is entirely ray traced with NVIDIA DLSS integrated. It is powered by NVIDIA's Omnive

RTX Visualization - Ray Tracing

Ray tracing is a method of graphics rendering that simulates the physical behavior of light. NVIDIA has made real-time ray tracing possible with NVIDIA RTX™ the first-ever real-time ray-tracing GPU. Powered by NVIDIA RT Cores, ray tracing adds unmatched beauty and realism to renders.

High-speed GPU connectors

Meet the demands of your largest visual computing workloads

NVLink

NVLink

NVIDIA® NVLink™ is the world's first high-speed GPU interconnect, offering a significantly faster alternative for multi-GPU systems than traditional PCIe-based solutions.

Sync II

Sync II

The Quadro Sync II card is an accessory to the NVIDIA RTX™ and Quadro® GPUs. On the top edge of the card are five connectors for up to four GPUs plus a second Quadro Sync II card. Sync II cards easily connect to other workstations via an ethernet cable to expand beyond one system and allow for larger display arrays.

ISV Testing

ISV Testing

Dell Technologies partners with industry-leading independent software vendors (ISVs) to perform ISV testing. This process is designed to validate the reliability, stability, and performance of the software on Dell Technologies hardware.
