NVIDIAs Quadro Business Is Starting to Take Off

Quadro is the name for NVIDIA's (NASDAQ: NVDA) graphics processing units (GPUs) that cater to professionals who do various levels of design work across many fields, including transportation, engineering, and even video game development. Professional-grade GPUs are particularly useful for graphically demanding computing applications, such as virtual reality, 3D modeling, and photorealistic rendering (not to mention designing cool spaceships for Guardians of the Galaxy).

However, NVIDIA is facing heightened competition from its archrival, Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ: AMD), which has attempted to regain lost market share this year by introducing its new high-powered Vega GPUs.
