Professional Solution Increases Productivity and Lowers Total Cost of Ownership With Minimal Power Consumption and Maximum Flexibility


SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - December 1, 2010) - NVIDIA announced today the immediate availability of the NVIDIA® NVS™ 300 Business Graphics Solution, a graphics processor designed for the enterprise that delivers exceptional visual fidelity across up to eight displays while consuming minimal power.

With nearly 25 percent more efficient power utilization1, the NVS 300 graphics processor is designed for mission-critical applications ranging from command and control centers, to securities trading floors, to digital signage installations.

The NVS graphics processor brand has become the standard for multi-display business computing environments because it is easy to deploy, cost-effective and power efficient.

The NVS 300 graphics processor simplifies IT administration, offering the most versatile display connectivity available in a low-profile, space saving graphics card design. Regardless of the display type (LCD, DLP or plasma) or system type (standard tower PC, workstation or small form factor system), the NVS 300 delivers the best image quality, supporting VGA, DVI, DisplayPort and HDMI at resolutions as high as 2560x1600.

With built-in, new NVIDIA Mosaic™ technology2, and NVIDIA nView® Desktop Management Software that support single or multi-display environments, the NVS 300 graphics processor improves user productivity by enabling efficient management of the Windows desktop across multiple displays. NVIDIA Mosaic technology provides seamless taskbar spanning, as well as transparent scaling of any application across up to eight displays. NVIDIA Mosaic technology can be used to enable one or more NVS 300 cards to drive either many independent displays simultaneously, or one ultra-high resolution display.

"The NVS 300 is built for demanding enterprises that require high reliability, improved manageability, and tremendous value," said Jeff Brown, general manager, Professional Solutions Group, NVIDIA. "The ability to support legacy and current display types provides an upgrade path without disrupting existing, complex installations."
