As if PC gaming wasn't expensive enough, Nvidia have unveiled a graphics card that will be known to shooter fans simply as 'God'. The $18K Quadro Plex 1000. How's your e-penis now?
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.

I'd say give it a couple of days, before it's out of date.

This isn't for consumers. Engineers and graphic design studios will buy this on credit.

My dear god. My e-penis is out of control!
Fortunately, by the time I'm done, it'll be uninteresting and out of date.

... and I can reply on EoFF using my PS3, pester Samuraid, play Starcraft, Warcraft III, type up all of my reports on the PS3 for my homework, do bills, do calculations, fix, repair, and modify to my heart's content, upgrade it to no end, and still consider myself someone with a life.
Not like that useless PC. The only thing that thing is good for is playing Final Fantasy.
Who even plays that crap game? I sure don't! All it is is full of half-naked girls. NOT pornographic at aLL.

It'll be surpassed by something twice as powerful within two years, max. Most likely 18 months.

My god... it's impressive...
...for now, at least...
Which in itself, this constant, incessant march of technological advances, is both a blessing and a curse.
