Remember Nvidia Quadro FX 5600 / 4600 graphics cards which were launched couple of months ago to push limits? Today the firm announced lower level version of that FX family for professionals in the CAD/CAM, DCC, medical imaging, digital video and financial sectors. All of them are designed to suit your budget while simultaneously enabling you to perform graphics intensive tasks. It could be a good buy through price/performance dynamics. Nvidia today announced four cards -- entry level 3D Quadro FX 370 (256MB), Professional 2D Quadro NVS 290 (256MB) and Quadro FX 570 (256MB), and mid-range 3D Quadro FX 1700 (512MB).

All of them are Shader Model 4.0 compliant and comes with increased frame buffer capacity needed to make them fully Microsoft Vista ready, and support for NVIDIA CUDA GPU-computing software architecture which extends the functionality of the GPU to address a wide range of mathematically intensive problems. The Quadro FX 370 ($129), Quadro NVS 290 ($149), Quadro FX 570 ($199), and Quadro FX 1700 ($699) are now available.
