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.

    I suddenly have the desire to see a 3dmark or Quake score for that rig... I imagine that it'd cause me to cry.
