CES is known as a premier technology trade show for a good reason. Things that seemed impossible just days ago are now on a show floor in Las Vegas where you can get your own two hands on them.
Take for example the Origin PC at Nvidia’s booth. The monster houses an Ivy Bridge i7 4960X ($1049), four—yes… FOUR—GeForce GTX Titan graphic cards ($999 each), and 64 GB of RAM within an Origin branded full-size tower. Unsurprisingly, the beast uses a water cooling system to keep the internals healthy while it runs Project Cars across three 4K displays.
To put this into perspective, this is single handedly one of the most demanding workloads a gaming PC has ever been under. Project Cars is set to be the most visually impressive racing game on the market, and to run it at 4K resolution alone will require very powerful—and expensive—hardware. Rendering 1.5 billion pixels per second for a 12K image is just pure insanity.
MaximumPCMag has uploaded a video of what it looks like in action. This is something you simply have to see to believe.
