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. NOT FOR GAMING by iamsolidsnk · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The nVidia Quadro graphics cards are for rendering, not for high-end gaming. The idea in the graphics card market that "more $$$$ == better graphics in games" does not hold true. These Quadro's will perform rather poorly compared to a 7950GTX, currently the top dog in the nVidia consumer graphics card market.

    This computer is for the design/development professional, who needs to render large amounts of video, like digital animation (think Pixar and it's ilk).
