Taking place this week is NVIDIA’s annual developer conference, the GPU Technology Conference. A show for everything NVIDIA across all of the company’s major divisions, this year’s show stands to be especially important to NVIDIA. With their Pascal architecture set to launch this year, I expect we’ll be hearing more about it, and meanwhile tomorrow’s keynote is on the same day as the HTC Vive launch, underscoring the importance of VR.
In fact it’s VR where we’ll start today, as NVIDIA’s professional visualization group is releasing some news a day ahead of tomorrow’s formal kickoff. NVIDIA is pitching products and technologies for both consumer and professional use, and today they are detailing their professional VR plans for the show. To kick things off, they are announcing a new notebook Quadro video card, the Quadro M5500.
