    Nvidia's other dual GPU card!!

    Just in case a GTX295 is too powerful:

    Seems a bit pointless if you ask me!! Is it not possible to use one GPU instead??

    Sweet!

    4x 30" monitors along with CUDA acceleration in a low profile design. Very cool

    Hardly powerful.

    I guess less heat and power drain this way.

    Still if you need that sort of display in an SFF box, still looks expensive.

    Hmmm 4 screens and low profile for my work desktop.

    I'll be asking the boss for one of those to replace the Quadro NVS 285 with all of 128 MB ram I currently have.

    I think most of us know that but it is still a ripoff.

    Edit: this card is not for cad!!

    Here is what Nvidia say for the NVS range:
    "The NVIDIA Quadro NVS graphics processing units (GPUs) provide business-graphics solutions for small, medium, and enterprise-level businesses. The NVIDIA Quadro NVS desktop solutions enable multi-display graphics for businesses such as financial traders."

    Even Nvidia think it is rubbish!!

    I don't think it is really. Admittedly, getting two individual cards is only going to cost about $300 so you pay quite a premium for having it on a single, low profile card. But then space and slots are often at a premium so it's justified.

    However I'm dubious of the price - the NVS440 is cheaper than this.

    Compared to the FireGL series it is though. Many of them have triple outputs. They are just charging a huge premium for the card being low profile and having 4 outputs.

    Re: Nvidia's other dual GPU card!!

    What other cards do that though? They obviously see a market for it or it wouldn't have been released. If there is nothing else that fills the requirement then they can change whatever they like for it.

    Which fireGL cards are low profile and have quad outputs? You've got to compare like for like.

    If you don't need low profile and quad outputs then why would you go for this over a Quadro FX card instead?

    Just shows the effect of not having competition then!! Lets hope ATI come up with something similiar. It should help the prices drop then.

    Re: Nvidia's other dual GPU card!!

    Or because it is a very specialist card with a limited market, meaning they make a lot less margin that you would expect. The cards are probably built to higher tolerances because they are professional cards.

    And yes, they charge that because they can. There isn't a lot of competition in that market, so they can charge what the market will tolerate. Just take a look at the pricing on Matrox cards then look at the specs. You get far more for your money with a Quadro.
