12 Teraflops in a Full Tower Case

skylineaddict · Mar 6, 2010, 10:31 AM

I say bring it and a bag of chips.

The boys at the University of Antwerp squeezed 6 GTX295's and one GTX275 into a full tower case and used it to upscale resolutions of 3D X-ray scans. The 13 GPU computer develops an astounding 12 teraflops of power and uses 4 power supplies to power its hardware. It costs significantly less than any Tesla solution and that means that it costs way way less than any conventional supercomputing solutions.

Now, I shall say something that is bound to pop up in the discussion.. It runs Crysis at 55FPS.

OMG !...6 gtx295's damn...runs crysis at 55 fps...lol

That's because Crysis is a poorly coded POS, and even God's puter can't get it to run any faster than that.
