Video of the Day: 23 GeForce GTX 295 Video Cards Installed in a Single Server Rig

malware · Apr 7, 2009

Wanna see what crazy is? How about 23 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 295 video cards installed in a single rig. Yep, that's not a typo. Named Atlas Folder, this wholesale pack of G200b GPUs (dubbed: folding server farm) is like an industrial grinder for Folding@Home. Watch the cool YouTube video here and feel free to leave a comment. I bet even NVIDIA engineers dream for such a monstrous distributed computing station.

That is just crazy! Nice find man!

nicholasblock · Apr 7, 2009

What a waste!! I don't see any point in that at all

W1zzard · Apr 7, 2009

warm in the winter

ThomasDM · Apr 7, 2009

It's a Folding@Home farm.

WOW.... so would that be like somthing used by OnLive servers?

shagg · Apr 7, 2009

Im sure it can run Crysis at 50fps with a resolution of 1920x1800

newtekie1 · Apr 7, 2009

Ah, so not all in one machine, but all in one rack, and only 17 actually in the rack...cool I guess. I wish I could afford to do something like that.

Disparia · Apr 7, 2009

Yeah, not as exciting after watching the video...

Salsoolo · Apr 7, 2009

fake!
the video is for a folding farm. the link posted by ThomasDM

gtx 390 coming in May

wow now what is this guy going to do when the quad gtx 390 comes out.
see the pictures of it in the link. You will trip out. I can't believe Techpowerup has not mentioned it at all.

All running on MSI AMD 790FX motherboards (no SLI). It's far from being the "ultimate gaming hardware", as only one of those 23 cards will be able to render a single 3D application at a time. Should've named it "ultimate folding hardware".

Unless someone does a real 16-gpu single rig, I'm not going to be impressed. Money = more PPD, but it doesn't always get you e-peen points!

PCpraiser100 · Apr 7, 2009

Great find! That means if I owned this rig I would play Crysis @ max settings while folding!

The video link is also sort of incorrect. The video is his, but someone lifted and put their name on it. Atlas Folder posted here http://www.maximumpc.com/article/ne...23_geforce_gtx_295_videocards_a_single_server about that in the comments.

newconroer · Apr 7, 2009

The only thing exciting about that, or potentially exciting, is if one of the pretty blue lights suddenly went red or dead.

READ THIS GUYS ! People over at OCN were saying the same thing

btarunr · Apr 7, 2009

Story Updated. Thanks for the observations.

a_ump · Apr 7, 2009

yea, some hardcore PPD for sure, that's a 1-man team lol. but a waste imo

lemonadesoda · Apr 7, 2009

I|m sure that this guy has had a lot of fun building 6 machines into a 19 inch rack. But 6x 4 GTXs could be improved using a PCIe expansion bay. Since this is a folding farm and not GPU SLI, he doesnt need x16 slots, so an extension bay would be quite practical. He could use x4 for the cards, and easily drive 8 or 16 cards from ONE PC.

I want one if I was Bill
