NVIDIA has now added a
Quadro FX
4500 X2 to its lineup of professional graphics cards. While NVIDIA does not
explicitly mention Quad SLI in the product announcement, the card sports a
dual-GPU PCB strikingly similar to that of GeForce 7 Quad SLI cards, and NVIDIA
says SLI support is on the menu along with "the industry's first quad dual-link
DVI."
The new FX 4500 X2 also features 512MB of memory per GPU, a 256-bit memory
bus, and 33.6GB/s of memory bandwidth.
DailyTech claim the FX 4500 X2 draws over 200W at peak load, which would add
up to an impressive 400W for a Quad SLI configuration. It is not known whether
NVIDIA opted to build the Quadro X2 off a power-efficient 90nm G71-based GPU,
though, or whether it's still made with the same 110nm G70-based GPU as the
vanilla FX 4500.
