Description

Nvidia's Quadro graphics cards are the standard for graphics professionals. Unlike gaming cards, which are tuned mostly for higher frame rates, professional cards such as the Quadro are geared for professional applications that require the use of large models, scenes, and datasets. These cards typically have more memory and are built with high-end components for 24/7 operation, making them attractive to users such as CAD professionals, digital content creators, and those wanting lots of parallel processing power.  To meet this demand, Nvidia extended its Quadro lineage with a new family of cards. These new cards range from the entry-level K420, up to the high-performance K5200, which is reviewed here. The new hardware not only provides graphics acceleration, but it also adds significant parallel processing power to accelerate compute-intensive tasks.From a physical standpoint, the K5200 looks like the typical high-powered graphics card. It takes up two slots, requires a six-pin power connector, but is slightly longer than the K5000, its predecessor.The back of the card has four connectors - two Display Ports and two dual-link DVI ports, supporting up to four simultaneous displays. With full support of DisplayPort 1.2, these give you a resolution of up to 3840x2160 per monitor, which is great for those working with 4k footage.   Multiple cards can also be configured using Nvidia's SLI technology, offering the possibilities of even more displays - up to 16 with a motherboard that supports four cards. A separate sync card can be installed to synchronize multiple monitors for applications such as stereoscopic 3D and video production. For those wanting to go beyond 4k, Nvidia's Mosaic technology can span your display space across multiple monitors and make them appear to be one single display, complete with fancy features such as bezel correction. This can be very useful for setups such as video walls and virtual-­reality spaces. Another nice software tool is Nvidia's Nview, which gives fine control over your workspace, allowing for multiple desktops and more.

Inside the card, the Quadro K5200 features the GK110 chip, which employs a more advanced version of the Kepler architecture used on the K6000. In many ways, the K5200 is much closer to the K6000 than the K5000 it replaced - it is that much more powerful. The total number of CUDA cores is 2,304, with 8gb of GDDR5 SDRAM, almost double that of the K5000. This additional memory means more stuff - bigger datasets, more textures, more geometry, and…more. This will make for a faster and more interactive experience. Compared to the K5000, memory bandwidth has gone up a bit, to 192gb/sec. Power consumption is set at a modest 150w.
