Think the V5 6000 was impressive?

Think again:

It has 4 gpu's. Kinda makes the 6000's 2 seem piddley. It also needs a PCI and AGP port to hook up and it's 2 PCB's.

I want one

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.

Military eh, i will see what i can do :wink:

Woot! Linux Drivers!

Of course, you didnt think the military would trust their computer simulations to Windows did you?

Well, there are actually Win drivers, too.

Actually, a lot of older military sims use 3dfx hardware because they were the first to use AA and that's more important than FPS, apparently.
