The Application of GPUs in multipurpose environments.




1. Home Use

Entertainment, from gaming to watching movies, has formed a significant part of users’ daily lifestyles.

If users wish to convert their personal space into a mini home-theater, they can do so just by using their computer systems. To enjoy high-definition films on PCs, the picture clarity and smooth playback without lags is the most important requirement. For this, a GPU-based system is a must.
 
Furthermore, 3D seems to have grabbed attention through recent cinema trends. Users can bring this enjoyable technology right in their homes for an extraordinary movie-watching experience. When NVIDIA’s 3DTV Play is connected with NVIDIA 3D Vision-enabled notebooks, desktops and 3D HDTVs, movie-goers can be prepared to be mesmerized for a big-screen entertainmentexperience. Using this software, they can connect any compatible NVIDIA GeForce GPU-powered system to a HDMI 1.4 3D HDTV for viewing 3D movies through the 3D glasses.
 
While providing stunning visuals, NVIDIA’s GeForce graphics also deliver impressive graphics performancewhich enhances the video quality. Using discrete graphics and the ever-expanding GeForce series, consumers can pick from a wide variety of GPU options.
 
2.Gaming Rigs

True gaming aficionados want to create a robust and solid gaming rig which delivers top-notch gaming performance and real-time graphics capability. Discrete GPUs from NVIDIA are specifically designed to support the requirements of gamers with optimized graphics. The latest graphics card, GeForce GTX 590, has been crafted for hardcore gamers to help them build the ultimate gaming PC.
 
To bring even more immersive experience into their games, users can use the 3D Vision kit for over 500 PC games in full 3D on either a 3D Vision certified monitor or any 3D HDTV.
 
3.Professionals in creative fields

Precise calculations and intricate designs have always been challenging for digital artists and creative professionals. Designers have toiled long hours, and large sums have been invested in their technology to achieve quality and accuracy in their tasks. To cater to the highly demanding computing requirements with advanced visualization, NVIDIA has introduced their award-winning Quadro Fermi family of GPUs.
 
Considering the requirements of digital artists, NVIDIA offers the Quadro 2000 thatefficiently delivers 1.5 times the performance of the previous Quadro GPU mid-range solutionat an economical cost, and the Quadro 600,a flexible solution which features the industry’s best performance per watt for applications.
 
In order to overcome the challenge which animators and post production studios face in rendering 3D graphics and other VFX, NVIDIA built the 3D Vision Pro, a new 3D stereoscopic solution,to facilitate designers and content creators to view their work in great depth and more detail than the traditional two-dimensional views.
 
Apart from professionals in creative jobs, other industrial experts like engineers in the automobile sector or architects can utilize NVIDIA graphicsto create visually-augmented sketches and models of their upcoming creations.
 
4. Business Executives

With working life becoming much more demanding, corporate executives and entrepreneurs now wish to own a machine that not only manages their business and networking needs but also runs for long hours without frequent battery charges. The need today for enterprises and entrepreneurs alike is to be able to swap between both entertainment and business applications and it is becoming more and more important to find the perfect balance between performance and battery life.
 
NVIDIA’s Optimus Technology offers awesome battery life and high performance. Another solution is the NVS 300 Business Graphics Solution, a graphics processor especially created for businessmen and entrepreneurs, that can deliver stunning visuals up to an incredible eight separate displays while providing nearly 25% more efficient power utilization.
 
Adding to the impressive graphics cards line-up, NVIDIA’s Tegra processor also allows business professionals to access graphically-intensive tasks on their smartphones and tablets.
 
5. Students

With educational institutions adopting technology to employ better teaching methods, NVIDIA’s Tegra and GeForce products remain pivotal for both users and educators. Increasingly, schools and colleges are adopting virtual methods for teaching, as study material is repurposed to become intuitive and visual in nature. To efficiently view and consume graphic-heavy content, NVIDIA GeForce GPUs like the GTX 550Ti and GTX 560Ti are ideally suited for educational environments.
 
A lot of today’s gadgets are trimmed down to fit into a small form factor, such as tablets. These devices perform just as well as PCs and can be extensively used while travelling or attending discussion panels. NVIDIA Tegra powers such devices to enable multitasking with stunning graphics and an enhanced web browsing experience – with console quality gaming for leisure.
