14 DAY TRIAL // Eurocom has just announced that four of the company’s mobile workstations with Nvidia Quadro professional GPUs have now gained support for the Quad buffering technology enabling them to support 3D stereoscopic images.
The technology is available in the Eurocom Panther 2.0 and 3.0, Racer, and Neptune notebooks, and in the former three models requires the presence of an external 3D-enabled display.
This connects to the notebook via the included DVI-DL port which supports 120Hz 3D signal.
As far as the Neptune is concerned, this is the only one of the four Eurocom mobile workstations that can display 3D images on its own, since it can be equipped with a 120Hz LED-backlit display and packs a built-in infrared emitter.
The Nvidia Quad buffering technology is supported in various professional Quadro GPUs ranging from the 3000M to the 5010M, which are all available as options in Eurocom’s laptops.
Besides the Nvidia Quadro graphics cards, Eurocom’s creations sport Intel processors, based on either the Sandy Bridge or Nehalem architecture, up to 32GB of system memory and various storage configurations providing 3.25TB of maximum capacity.
Apart from the 15.6-inch Racer, all the other systems include 17.3-inch screens, but no matter the diagonal, the resolution is always set at 1920x1080 pixels.
The rest of the feature list includes HDMI, eSATA, and DVI connectivity, one or more USB 3.0 ports, built-in wireless and Gigabit Ethernet.
“For our professional clients using our Mobile Workstations with NVIDIA Quadro GPUs, support for Quad buffered 3D technology gives them a great 3D experience on a mobile super computing platform” explains Mark Bialic, Eurocom President.
In the high-end Eurocom Panther 3.0, adding an Nvidia Quadro 5010 graphics card with Quad 3D buffering support costs the user $2,050 US (1,606 EUR), which almost doubles its $2,726 (2132 EUR) starting price.
