matrix-octalNot to be outdone by ATI and their impressive 6-way Eyefinity solution, Matrox has re-emerged on the scene with an impressive 8-way solution.  The MAtrix M9188 PCIe x16 offer 2GB memory, 2560×1600 (that’s a 30″ display folks) per output, and eight displayport or DVI Single-Link outputs from a single PCI slot.

“The M9188 is designed specifically for professional monitoring environments that require visualization of large amounts of data at once to enhance mission-critical decision making,” says Ron Berty, Business Development Manager, Matrox Graphics. “The expansive multi-monitor configuration allows system operators to accurately manage energy grids or train dispatch applications, while ensuring maximum performance across all displays.”

The card retails for $1995 US.
