NVIDIA announces second generation Maximus, now with Kepler power

It's been almost exactly a year since we first heard about NVIDIA's Maximus technology, and today the firm's just announced an update. The second generation of the platform is now supported by Kepler-based GPUs. This time around computational tasks get ferried off to the SMX-streaming K20 GPU, leaving the 3,840 x 2,160 resolution-supporting Quadro K5000 GPU ($3,199) to tackle the graphical functions. Want to know when you can get your hands on the goods? Well, NVIDIA says starting December, with the Quadro K5000 ($2,249 MSRP) available as a standalone in October. Head down to the PR for the full spin and forthcoming workstation / OEM details.
