Posted: Fri May 21, 2004 12:37 pm
I am not a huge fan of Alienware computers and if you ever worked on one you would understand my opinion. But they are about to offer some incredible advancements in graphics technology. They are trying to patent a system running multiple video cards in parallel which is a huge plus to extreme gaming, graphic designers and anyone else that use graphics beyond playing Pac Man. Here is the press release:
[quote="Alienware"]Alienware Announces Video Arrayâ„¢ and X2â„¢: An Exclusive Advancement in PC Graphics Technology
High-Performance PC Manufacturer promises significant performance improvements in gaming and graphics intensive applications.
MIAMI, FL May 12, 2004 - Alienware, the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop computers, notebooks, and professional systems unveiled today at the Electronic Entertainment Expo, Video Array and X2 -- an exclusive, patent pending technology designed to significantly enhance the performance of graphics intensive applications including extreme gaming, professional design and engineering, real-time rendering and animation, and flight training and simulation modules.
Video Array is an accelerated graphics processing subsystem that will allow users to add multiple, off-the-shelf video cards to their Alienware computer systems and have both cards process graphic commands in parallel. Understanding the wide-ranging wants and needs of its customers, Alienware designed its solution so that it is not tied to any one specific video card. This design will allow users to take full advantage of the fastest video card on the market for a significant performance increase.
Alienwares exclusive Video Array combined with X2, an Alienware designed motherboard which is currently based on Intel Corporations next-generation chipset and will include dual PCI-Express high performance graphics card slots, will deliver significant performance gains over current graphic solutions. The new Video Array Technology and X2 motherboard will enable users to run graphics intensive applications flawlessly at maximized settings, render 3D visuals in record time, and much more.
“Innovation has always been one of our guiding principles,â€Â
