The Quadro-Plex 1000 processing unit will be able to..

"...achieve up to 64x full scene anti-aliasing (FSAA), deliver a performance of up to 148 megapixels on 16 synchronized digital-output channels and eight HD SDI channels. Nvidia says that the fill rate reaches 80 billion pixels/s while the geometry performance is rated at seven billion vertices/s."

Of course this isn't mean for consumer level PC's. You'd require the likes of a packed blade server to handle the huge amount of data and hopefully not create any bottle necks.

The price of the cheapest unit works out to around $113,750 TT. It's probably smarter to just buy a car or pay off the mortgage on your house.
