"What do you get for the graphics buff who has everything? How about Nvidia's Quadro Plex 1000, a racked collection of GPUs in their own box, together capable of rendering 80bn pixels every second and powering monitors with a combined resolution of up to 148 megapixels. 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. The Model I also contains a Quadro G-Sync board, while the Model II has two G-Sync cards. The Model III has two SDI (Serial Digital Interface) boards for broadcast-quality HD TV work. Models I and III can do 32x SLI full-screen anti-aliasing, while the Model II goes up to 64x SLI FSAA. The Model II has 1GB of DDR2 graphics memory per GPU, while the other two machines have 512MB of GDDR 3 per GPU. The machines are controlled from a PC or workstation - 32- or 64-bit, Windows or Linux - connected across a network. Nvidia reckons the boxes will interest not only content creators but folk doing scientific modelling and simulation work. The Quadro Plex 1000 family is due to ship in September. ® "

Last year's computers could run doom 3 on max settings.

i'd be satisfied with a graphics card that runs oblivion at max settings

only reason to get this is to play something over a cluster of screens....

the ultimate WoW geek gift

that's kind of too extreme for WoW

8/2/2006 3:54:14 PM

^That's too extreme for any game. I'm going to drop $17K so my $39.99 game looks decent.

Just wait 2 years. It will be $129.99.

Those are Quadro cards. They won't work that great for gaming. This thing was made to run Maya where you can manipluate super-high polygon count models in real time.

Contrary to popular misconception

WoW does not run exponentially better on the latest video cards.
