Nvidia Reveal $18,000 PC Graphics Card

[Anusha]

OMG!!!! No more talk. Here comes the "GOD".

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.

"According to Nvidia, a node can achieve up to 64x full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA), deliver a performance of up to 148 megapixels on 16 synchronized digital-output channels and eight HD SDI channels. The firm says that the fill rate reaches 80 billion pixels/s while the geometry performance is rated at seven billion vertices/s."

The cheapest model starts at $17,500, and it just goes up from there! When they're released in September, we'll probably give a few away. Or, maybe we'll buy a house instead!

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!

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.

DAMN!!!! NO COMMENTS!!!!

Considering the fact than some people spend about US$6000 for their brand new PC every couple of years (or even less), this is cheaper

Aren't they giving a power supply with this card?

Unless of course the game development hits a ceiling where they just can't add any more effects and details because they have completely recreated the "nature" 100% perfectly in computers.

I don't think this will happen however. But considering how much games have developed in the last decade, we might get CLOSE to this point in another decade.
