Nvidia Unveils New 64x SLI GPU Rig

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the right-up-there-on-my-to-do-list dept.

The Register has an answer for the problem of what to get the graphics buff who has everything, Nvidia's new 64x SLI GPU rig. While it doesn't come cheap, a mere $17,500, it will offer rendering at around 80 billion pixels every second and a combined resolution of around 148 megapixels. The new hardware is being targeted at content creators and people doing scientific modeling, and is due to ship in September.

    Hey don't knock it! I was just kicking back, flicking through the articles on Slashdot after a 48-hour non-stop marathon of unbounded sexual pleasure with three gorgeous coeds, when I noticed that ad. Intrigued, I clicked the link and read their literature. It has made me realise what a hollow, unfulfilling life I lead. A string of simple, no-strings relationships with nubile young women in their sexual prime is no life at all really. I should be spending my time more creatively, by contributing to opens source projects, or perhaps building a voice-activated peanut dispenser using Lego Mindstorms, or even boosting the signal of the wi-fi connection that I'm 'borrowing' from my neighbour with the aid of a spare vibrator wrapped in tinfoil.

    That Google ad sure hit the spot. I'll be a changed man when I return from Pine Creek!
