You could buy a pretty decent sports car for that kind of money. Or, according to Nvidia, you can have 12 mega pixel hi-def video, and a card (actually it's more like a series of cards) that will run every PC game due for release in the next century

Heh

The only problem with owning one of these cards is you'd need about 20 of the latest CPUs in order to feed it data quick enough that the CPU wouldn't become a massive bottleneck. Of course, they're designed for integrated graphics computers and engineers, not really gaming!

Obviously.

If anyone out there actually plans to purchase one of these suckas, we'd love to hear how many of your children you intend to sell in order to fund such a venture. Of course, we do not condone such things.

And that is the last time I google "epenis".

I wonder how many chips are actually in there? as for about $4000 you could run 4 GX2's (getting driver support could prove interesting) as I believe Gigabyte makes a motherboard with 4 PCIe slots.

This is so rediculas you'd have to be crazy to buy that thing.Unless your rich of course.

Hmmm... I have a 17k workstation (going on 4 years old) and oddly enough the other day when I was thinking it is about time for a new system I saw this product and wondered how much it would cost as I considered getting it - I guess I wont now. I'll stick with the Quadro FX 4500X2 cards for my next rig.

BTW: If you want a real badass system I suggest http://www.l-computer.com/home/index.htm

A fully maxxed out top end system is about 60K - one day.....

I highly doubt that. Personally, I think that this is just ridiculus

It is for engineers, you really cant use it on a normal computer. You could run it on a cluster of CPUs but you would need like 20 of them

This is pretty good:

Who the hell would pay $18.000 on a graphics cards you could buy a new car or a really great holiday.

I bet that thing could power my whole community´s computers at 1600x1200+8xAA 24/7.

[Steuner]

Don't forget, you'll also need to buy 20 CPU's like each costing 500$ I fink... So have fun guys! lmao

[shenmueguru]

This looks like a pretty bad market decision to me...
