14 DAY TRIAL // It appears that Zotac is not going to let a certain GTX 560 card be the only one of its kind, namely with the capability to handle up to three displays at once, as a second 500 series model how now been unveiled.
AMD, for a fairly long time, had a certain advantage over NVIDIA video cards as far as its more powerful Radeon HD series models were concerned.
Basically, the Eyefinity technology allowed any one model to spread the viewing area over three display at once, or 6 in case of Eyefinity 6.
Turns out that, as some may have suspected, NVIDIA and/or its manufacturing partners didn't like not having something similar.
Zotac eventually created the GeForce GTX 560 Multiview, and it looks like a GTX 550 Ti Multiview has also come into being.
“ZOTAC believes multi-monitor computing is the future of desktop computing. Triple displays are the sweet spot where productivity and the gaming experience drastically improves without overwhelming users with too many monitors,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, ZOTAC International.
“With our latest ZOTAC GeForce GTX 550 Ti Multiview, we are able to deliver a quality visual experience that combines Microsoft DirectX 11 compatibility, NVIDIA CUDA technology and triple simultaneous displays at a mainstream price point.”
For those that want to know the numeric specifics, the 192 CUDA core-equipped board has the GPU working at 900 MHz and the aforementioned shaders at 1,800 MHz, while the 1 GB of GDDR5 VRAM has a 192-bit interface and a clock of 4,100 MHz.
Finally, two HDMI ports, two DVI ports and a DisplayPort are present (the three-display mode being possible via the two HDMI and either a DVI or DsiplayPort).
Unfortunately hopefuls will have to wait a while before getting one card, or even just knowing how much it costs, since pricing and availability details haven't been disclosed.
