No detailed specs on it? And that's pretty ridiculous, I could see this useful with security systems and...I don't know what else, actually. Good stuff though, no doubt.

I have no idea how i would really even use that effectively, yet I still want it.

Wow, now I see how many useful uses, lol! Thing must have crazy clocks.

I really miss the fact that Matrox does not make a gaming graphics cards anymore. My G400 Max is still one of my favorite videocards of all time.

Man Matrox is awesome , but sad they don't make gaming cards anymore , why aren't there any specs on this anyway ? Man but still looks freaking sweet !!!

AMD made something good and now others follow. I wonder what will NVIDIA's response going to be (besides praising CUDA and Physx).

lol who really needs 8 displays? its a cool concept but will not sell very well imo.

Just wouldn't have room for all those monitors in the condo I live in.

It's obviously for business purposes, i.e. offices, trade floors etc, and NOT a casual user or gamer!

But the real question is... how many fps would it get on Crysis with 8 monitors at 2560x1600? Not more than 3 I bet

For security systems with multiple cameras? If you can hook up 8/16 monitors to just one PC than it would make managing them much more easier.

Flight Simulator. My friend built one. He has 7 monitors. 2 in front, 2 on each side and one front center lower for his instrument. He has to have 4 video card in his PC. That would be useful on this case.

Didn't know Matrox still made video cards, last one i saw was a G400 way back around 2000. Obvously these aren't cards for multimedia or games, i'm sure there are situations where these solutions can be useful, like surveillance systems.

This cost me only $800 to build and displays 8 monitors. The MB has 4 PCI-e video slots. (Can't remember the model)

This is simply not enough, I have a ka-jillion monitors I need used all at once.

Wow - Short on imagination. Think about simulators - 3 monitors for outside windows, 2 for main cockpit instruments and 3 more for smaller (8") cockpit entry panels.

It's only a short time before we start to see some really sweet combat cockpits for simulated fighters, tank commanders, castle commanders, space ships, etc. All being controlled by a single Intel i7 system or even better a Parallax Propeller Chip (8 Processor CPU).

The next step forward. #1 - Build the processor power; #2 - Grow the working memory; #3 - Imrpove the image engines; #4 - Expand the comm pipelines; #5 - Build the sensory cocoon.

Imagination at work!
