For most Mac users, upgradeable anything is starting to sound like a
distant memory, but Mac Pro users bought that big ol' box for a
reason: expandability. Now NVIDIA is here to make it worth their
while, releasing the mid-range Quadro 4000 graphics card with that
latest / greatest Fermi architecture. With 256 CUDA cores and 2GB of
GDDR5 memory, the card should slice through just about anything a pro
app (Photoshop, Maya, Snood) can send it, and probably wouldn't mind
popping out a FPS session now and then just to stretch the legs. Of
course, when we say "mid-range" we aren't talking cheap: NVIDIA's MSRP
is $1,199, a good bit more than the card's $700-ish PC-compatible
counterpart. It should be available this month.
