The simFUSION 6000q the force of four Radeon 9700 cores!

Evans & Sutherland, a company specialised in creating realistic visual images for simulation, training, engineering, and other applications has created a killer Radeon 9700 PRO card. E&S his visual systems are used in both military and commercial systems, as well as planetariums and interactive theaters.
Now what is so special about a 9700 PRO you might think? Well their simFUSION 6000q professional graphics card combines four Radeon 9700PRO cores into one card! Actually they are not made on 1 PCB card, but on two combined ones like you can see in the pictures. It has also 2 Molex connectors.
This is a professional card for commercial and military 3D modeling, so do not start dreaming about it because you will never find it in shops. And if it were available, it would be way too expensive.

Lets see some benchmarks. Heheheheh..
ReplyYeah, we wanna see some Benchmark and the price! :)
ReplyI wonder if I could run Halo smoothly on it
ReplyNOTHING can run halo smoothly :P
Can you install this at a normal motherboard? If yes, I want to see a benchmark with 3Dmark03 :d
ReplyIt looks like the card is a set of an AGP and a PCI card, so I'd assume that yes its possible to install this in a normal PC.
ReplyBut it's very long and higher than it should be, so the case has to be really big!
ReplyOn AGP and PCI... So, will it really be enough bandwith for such a huge grafic-power? I don't think so. You would need more than one PCI and AGP... 95 % of faults sit in front of the computer :-)
ReplyNo it says they are PCB... I have no clue what that is but in fact they both look like AGP... you see the hooks on the end of the botton of the card where it goes into the slot? Only AGP has those hooks...well maybe PCB.
ReplyPCB means Printed Circuit Boards.And as you can see on the first picture, only one of the cards has the 'hook', which means that he was right. It's a PCI and an AGP card.
PCB = Printed Circuit Board... it's the boards themselves :P
Oh my fucking god. X-D
ReplyEvans and Sutherland. That particular card can be found but u will have to special order it and pretend that you are building your own planetarium. The card is around $1300 or more.
