Siggraph Attendees Drool Over Nvidia's Quadro Plex

Next news
5:20 AM - August 14, 2008 by Humphrey Cheung

Los Angeles (CA) - You can never have too much storage, bandwidth or computing power - and this is especially true if you’re a 3D animator. Nvidia is showing off their new Quadro Plex 2200 D2 box containing four graphics processors and attendees at the Siggraph convention are drooling over the insane computing power. The external box can hold one or two Quadro FX 5800 cards (each card has two graphics processors). When fully maxed out, the box contains 8 GB of frame buffer memory and can support up to four displays.

The Nvidia Siggraph booth was running a high polygon count render at approximately five to six frames per second. While this may not sound like much to gamers who are used to 60 FPS, you have to keep in mind that these same renders used to take minutes, even hours on regular graphics workstations.

Nvidia says the Quadro Plex 2200 D2 will be available in September starting at around $10,750.

Is there any info on this? 2x2 8800gtx cards rendering. That would total @ 512 cores with 8gb of ram- sweet.

Still 6fps doing what? nVidias dead Galeto renderer? New super secret Mental Ray, CUDA code? Does anyone know anything more about this? Are there any other sites or articles about this? I'd like to know.

Thank you.
