The new workstations can use up to two Quadro M6000 24GB cards. HP systems with Dual M6000 24GB cards can use Nvidia’s GPU Affinity API and VR synchronization technologies to reportedly reduce image tearing. Each configuration is tested with optional HTC Vive head mounted displays.
The Nvidia VR Ready HP Z workstations are now available; the Dual M6000 24GB cards are available as an aftermarket option now and will be integrated in May. Starting price for the configurations is $4,363.
