Got $18,000 to blow?
Why not pick up one of these for your next gaming rig!
http://www.joystiq.com/2006/08/03/nv...th-18k-system/According to Nvidia, a node can achieve up to 64x full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA), deliver a performance of up to 148 megapixels on 16 synchronized digital-output channels and eight HD SDI channels. The firm says that the fill rate reaches 80 billion pixels/s while the geometry performance is rated at seven billion vertices/s.
its a big fancy quad SLI box.
honestly most of the cost is the videocards, Quattro cards cost roughly 5 times more than a Geforce card of the same series but at the same time Quattros are more for CAD but i am gathering it would still be kick ass.
also in this situation theyre talking about a node which involves 2 of those boxes....
If I had $18K...woohoo I would be pulling in some awesome annual returns!
hmmm...
They coulda' posted some Quake3 benchmarks...

Nobody here would use it for anything but emulators anyway.Holy overkill.

The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
Not true really. I've found there are a good deal amount of PC gamers here. That system however is overkill none the less.Originally Posted by rbudrick

yeah - but on the up side - you wouldn't have to worry about upgrading your gfx cards for a decade or soNot true really. I've found there are a good deal amount of PC gamers here. That system however is overkill none the less.Nobody here would use it for anything but emulators anyway.

Sucks that hardly any PC games use the Quattro cards.. But they are great 3-D rendering cards.
It would be interesting to see if that thing could do ray-tracing in real time, with all that horsepower. But I doubt it.
We should all get together to cough up the funds to buy one of these...
...and then we can smash it up real good, and post the video on YouTube! We'll go down in history!
Who's with me!?
Amen Alright we will need this

And shoot it with this
