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.

  1. 64x? Eh? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative
    The only thing "64x" in there is the FSAA... Not the cards. From TFA:


    It doesn't come cheap, mind - prices start at $17,500. Nvidia has three models on offer. Two contain two Quadro FX 5500 GPUs, while the mid-range version, the Model II, has two Quadro 4500 X2 GPUs - ie. four graphics cores.


    Nowhere near 64 cards, that's ridiculous...
