Dual GPU Geforce 6200 on PCI

LOL, this made me laugh so much. Jaton brand came out with a PCI Video card with dual 6200 GPUs and 512mb per GPU. Anyone thinking SLI on PCI?

I wonder how this compares to other PCI cards such as the 8500GT.


Why do they make odd cards like this still?

LOL pci??? hahahahahahaha thats amazing!

Clearly it's sick sad and wrong. With that said it's a 4 display card, so I'm guessing they needed a GPU for every 2 displays. From that perspective, it's a creative solution towards making a cheap 4 display card. I have no idea why they fit each GPU with 512MB each though.

1GB of memory on a 64 bit controller...

Why...

I see the 4 display capability though.

ya its not for gaming . so its fine .

NEAT@!

Crazy, too.

Like that other four-head (DVI, PCI-E) ATI card I saw. Totally overkill, but useful if you want to set up a multi-display rig.

Somebody buy two and see if you can go quad with 'em !!! *laff*

LOL! Someone fed the wrong gpus to the assembly line?

"Boss, we've assembled the 10000 new units requested. There was a slight glitch though..."

Would be a good card for a day trader, financial analyst or anyone that needs a quad monitor setup for text and images. Sure looks a bit cheaper than going with an SLI setup. It also means that in a system with a PCI card and normal PCIe ports, you could have up to 6 displays going.

You would need that much GPU RAM to do 4 2560x1600+ displays in Aero. Except for maybe daytraders, I doubt most quad display setups are going to use small monitors. It's not exactly a budget setup.

This might have some relevance were it not for one tiny detail on the specifications listing:

Max Resolution 2048 x 1536@60Hz

Oh and they're VGA connectors, not DVI. LOL.

Yea this is pretty much an abomination.

You know older AGP boards came with 6 PCI slots..... Anybody want to 'sexSLI' (sex as in 6) these?

Hmm that would have 48pipes & like 3gigs of RAM

Even for a crappy PCI card with VGA out, it could be useful for people that need to drive multiple monitors but don't care about the image quality (lots of text editing / programming? *shrug*). The $190 price tag is what kills it.

If it was $50 or so, I'd be cheering them on.

 

[VirtualLarry]

Even for $100, it wouldn't be so bad, but $200? No way.
