Nvidia Quadro Professional GPUs with Maxwell GM107 Core Spotted in Driver Update

Some pretty interesting information has surfaced in a drivers update at Laptopvideo2go (via Videocardz). Manifestly the .inf file to the commuter update that contains support for two Maxwell powered Quadro Professional GPUs has been posted, along with a new nomenclature. This means that the video manufacture volition soon be able to utilize the ability increase and efficiency offered by the Maxwell architecture and get to savor an unfortunate nomenclature.

Nvidia Driver Update Reveals Quadros with Maxwell Cores - Mobility Included

At present the biggest difference between Quadro and your mainstream Nvidia cards is the double precision floating betoken operation per bicycle ratio. For Quadro variants this number is 1. Which ways the card can process 1 double precision floating signal operation per cycle per core (which is a 1/2 ratio). In sharp contrast a Fermi's double precision floating signal performance (aka FP64) is 1/8th of FP32 ( Single Precision). A Kepler 780'due south FP64 performance is ane/16 of FP32 and finally a Maxwell 750's FP64 is 1/32 of FP32. I am sure you can come across a trend here. Basically if you want that sweet 1 to 2 ratio, you lot are going to have to pay the premium and quite a large ane at that. Equally y'all can imagine, a Maxwell cadre inside a professional GPU will make quite a performance leap. VC managed to locate the IDs of the GPUs and alot them to the right nomenclature:

• NVIDIA_DEV.0FF3 = NVIDIA Quadro K420 (GK107)
• NVIDIA_DEV.13BB = NVIDIA Quadro K620 (GM107)
• NVIDIA_DEV.13BA = NVIDIA Quadro K2200 (GM107)
• NVIDIA_DEV.11B4 = NVIDIA Quadro K4200 (GK104)
• NVIDIA_DEV.103C = NVIDIA Quadro K5200 (GK110)

And so we are looking at 2 Desktop and one Mobile (K2200M) Professional GPUs with Maxwell Architecture. Both feature the GM107, which is somewhat of a allow down because that means we are looking at the offset generation Maxwell Compages as opposed to the second generation. It is also somewhat obvious I guess, considering Nvidia would surely want to utilize the first generation architecture in the Professional person market as well instead of just  skipping it and going against the Profit Motive. That would besides make these Maxwell Quadros the 750/750Ti's of the professional earth, with the actual Maxwell Quadro Flagship and the equivalent of the Quadro K6000 coming subsequently.
