Poor man's Voodoo 5 6000

Four Rage XL chips on a long PCI board. It is simply magnificent, and useless for gaming.

A quad output PCI card with 4 discrete GPUs? What does the connector on the rear look like? The shell looks like it's a quad of RJ45s or something, like VGA over CATx.

Digital signage controller or something?

Its so utterly awesome though

Yep, quad RJ45 connectors. It's HDBaseT, I believe.

And to think a HD 5870 could run 6 displays in 2009!

I found the card; it's not HDBase-T, it's VGA coming out of an RJ45. There's also no HDBase-T transceivers on the card, the GPUs are pathed directly to the rear panel connectors (and I'm positive RageXL doesn't have built-in HDbase-T )

Good to know. I initially assumed that the blurry PLX switch was some controller that performed the magic, until I realized it wasn't.

Apparently, they used the RJ45 for space saving scheme for the standard VGA port interface
