Picture of an 8 Chip VSA-100...this is a real card

who the hell needs that graphics power on a server?

hell I want to see the military similation built with that thing. Imaging the detail!

Isn't Quantum 3D (not quantum the hard drive maker, Q3D made the Obsidian X24 V2 SLI one a single board) using those multichip VSA boards for their AAlchemy line? For applications (like RT sims) that need massive fillrate and have the option (as the name suggests) of massive Anti-Aliasing, this board would kick some major arse, no T&L? But who cares they probably have 4 or 8 way Xeons for the T&L end. That thing is damn sweet...it's not exactly for gamers though.

You aren't going to buy an 8way VSA and put it in a 17" midtower...

Hmmm, mitten warmer

SWEET ENOLA GAY! God damned, that card needs its own powerplant! Oh and who's talking about PCI?!?! That's an AGP Pro if I ever saw one! But I think that card should have an AGP 8x:|

DANG! That thing must be so dang heavy and you still have to add in the 8 heatsinks or two big ones that will add a lot of weight!

I think it would be good for high-res simulations where you have large open areas with tons of overdraw...hence a lot of raw fillrate. Not very efficient, but gets the job done.

Does it come with it's own diesel generator or do you need a new 1k W ps ?
