[Supercomputing] Cray + Nvidia = Crysis on max settings

[Taziir]

Suddenly supercomputing becomes interesting. Forget 580's or 6990's, this is where to put your Lottery winnings

The mystery surrounding the architecture of the future "Titan" supercomputer to be installed at Oak Ridge National Laboratories and funded by the US Department of Energy is over.

Oak Ridge, which is the US nuke lab most associated with open (rather than classified and often military) science, has been working with Cray and Nvidia on future hybrid CPU-GPU designs for several years and is Cray's keystone HPC customer. So it is no surprise that the Titan supercomputer will marry Cray's Opteron-based supers with Nvidia's GPU coprocessors to make a more energy-efficient super – weighing in at a top speed of 20 petaflops when (and if) it is fully extended with GPUs.

Article goes on to finish: And yes, it will be able to play Crysis.

Here is the board and coolers:

Should do nicely

Do they run in quad Xfire? lol
