NVidia revealed a new graphics card for professional digital signage and with eight mini-DisplayPort 1.2 ports from a single PCIe board. The card uses dual GM107GPUs to power the outputs and use the Maxell architecture. The GPUs each has 512 cores enabled, so there are 1024 in total together with 2GB of VRAM per GPU. Power consumption is 68W.
Up to four boards can be installed in a single system, to support up to 32 displays, which is also the maximum number of displays supported in DisplayPort cloning mode. Each card can drive eight DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) outputs at 30fps or four at 60fps. Pricing is between $650 and $750.
The new board supports NVidia’s software such as Mosaic and Warp and Blend as well as Quadro Sync while vNiew and NVWMI allow management. Output on each display can be synchronised, with all outputs allowing the creation of a single desktop.
NVidia said that its GPUs are already used in some large video walls including the “world’s largest 4K display” at Churchill Downs in Kentucky.
