Galaxy will soon expand its product portfolio with a new Display4-series GeForce graphics card based on the GTX 550 Ti design that breaks away from Nvidia’s two displays per card limit thanks to some specialized hardware enabling it to support up to four monitors simultaneously.
The hardware in question is actually an IDT VMM 1403 display output logic chip, an integrated controller that is usually found in multi-monitor hub devices.
Going for a quick look, the GTX 550 Ti Display4 doesn’t seem to differ all that much from the company’s other graphics cards as it uses the same in-house developed "Glaciator" cooler that makes use of large heatsink ventilated by a large central fan.
Taking a look at the rear port configuration however, reveals that this isn’t your ordinary Nvidia graphics card since
Galaxy has installed no less than four DVI connectors and a mini-HDMI port.
This setup enables Galaxy's creation to support up to four monitors simultaneously, and up to three of the displays attached to the
graphics card can be combined to form a single surface (for multi-monitor gaming or productivity) with a resolution of 5760x1080 pixels.
The GeForce GTX 550 Ti GPU installed is powered by a 3+1 phase VRM controlled by Galaxy's in-house G-Engine chip and it runs at 950MHz, while the 1GB of video buffer operates at 1025MHz (4.10GHz effective).
According to Expreview, the Website that published the pictures of this card, the GTX 550 Ti Display4 will be available only in Asia where it’s priced at RMB 999 (converts to $157 US or 118 EUR).
Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 550 Ti is based on the company’s GF116-400 core that packs 192 CUDA processors, 32 texturing units, 24 ROP units, and a 192-bit memory bus that is usually connected to 1GB of GDDR5 video buffer.
