That graphics card in your desktop computer may be fine for your needs but for high-end graphics processing that takes place in applications such as film and game production, there's no such thing as too much power. NVIDIA Corporation has   announced on August 07 the NVIDIA Quadro Plex Visual Computing System (VCS) Model S4, a graphics server featuring a record number of graphics processing units (GPUs) in a standard 1U server form factor.

 The new server contains more Quadro graphics processing power in less space than has ever been achieved before, enabling interactive visualization of extremely large-scale data sets by multiple users with a minimal footprint.
Designed for data-centric applications such as off-line rendering, remote graphics applications and embedded visual computing, the Quadro Plex Model S4 server incorporates four NVIDIA Quadro FX 5600 professional GPUs in an industry-standard 1U rack configuration, dynamically allocating compute, geometry, shading and pixel processing power for optimized GPU performance.
The Quadro Plex Model S4 is designed to serve high-quality interactive visualization of large models to multiple users. Its 6 GB frame buffer (1.5 GB per GPU) can process large textures with full-screen antialiasing while Shader Model 4.0 vertex and pixel programmability delivers effects for OpenGL and DirectX 10 applications. The server's accelerated 3D texture performance also provides greater interactivity for the visualization of large volumetric datasets often required in energy and scientific research.

NVIDIA Quadro Plex VCS Models I, II, III, and IV are currently available through NVIDIA and distribution partners worldwide, including PNY Technologies, Leadtek, and Elsa. The Quadro Plex VCS Model S4 will be available in the fourth quarter of 2007.
