I was looking at graphics cards just now and for some reason decided to find the most expensive card on the site I was using...
What I found was this monster...

Do you think my boss will mind if I add this to my wish list... :)
What gets me is that I didn't spend much more than that on my new car recently!
Its one of nVidias uber CAD/CAM/multi do anything who da ma flip cards :)
You find something simlar to these in the Tesla compute servers that are used in some supercomputers.
pfft, i got two of them in SLI, they're ok. bit of lag playing quake though
Should've gone with a 3 way SLI - I hear people getting up to 800x600 on Crysis 2 with that kinda power! ;)Quote:

This is the sort of gear you'll find in the animator machines at PIXAR, plus probably a few in the render farm machines they use.
It kind of reminds me of the 3DFX Voodoo 6000. This was a beast of a card, probably about the same size too!
The thing is, you're probably going to need something like the Intel Xeon E7-8870 to make the most of it :)
god i remember them. i think i jumped straight in with the 3dfx voodoo2. running half life in all its glory (with opengl driver)Quote:

Not sure if it would have the same amount of umph / power but
2 * GTX 590's in SLI
A SATA 3 SSD ( OCZ or OWC )
More RAM etc
Although that graphics card does have 6gb of GDDR 5 RAM ?
damn back in the day, i had a diamond stealth card with 2mb of graphics ram when the rest of my system only had 8mb and 120mb hdd... i've so not kept up!
puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurlease
PNY Quadro 6000 SDI I/O
You might want some decent storage space with that - 1TB is pretty good value at £23,000 these days...
