Military F-16 Simulator Maxes Out On Graphics Cards
Posted on Jun 10, 09 07:47 AM PDT
Check out this super high definition machine from the military - a F-16 simulator which is powered by 120 (yes, count 'em!) Intel Dual Core PCs complete with $400 graphics cards within a special industrial casing. Apparently, this simulator is able to offer 20-40 visual acuity, which is nearly enough to fool the naked eye. All that graphical and processing firepower is used to run Simusphere - a 180-degree field of display which relies on a combination of 9 projectors in order to provide a visually impressive image no matter where you turn your head. We sure as heck don't mind flying these every day if that's part of the job...
