I just can believe the price though.

Just won an XVR-1200 on ebay for under 65.00 wow!!!
they still are around 2,000

I am getting ready to assemble a dual 900 SunBlade 2000
with the XVR-1200 so far have about 250. invested.

Should be interesting... will let all know after the parts arrive

Is it better than a V12?

When in doubt, go higher. Real time realistic interactive graphics.

Oh I'm sure it is (at least it better be for the 5 figure price)... but one thing I see is our v12 isnt doing the multipipe by itself..I see they say 4 multipipe graphics on it. I saw that my xvr-1000 probably closer.

really dont see all that much more info atm.

Yeah, it takes up every XIO slot in the octane though :/ aside from the pci card cage. Or well, that's one of them, I know there's the 2 x server and 2 monitor things, SGI makes everything confusing.

just got my "xvr-1200" and it isn't

they sent me a agp pro/50 "3D Wildcat 4 7120" darn... this wont work in a sunblade.
I see it will work in a "professional" pc motherboard like a tyan
and it has XP drivers and normally runs between 2K and 3 K in price. Guess not bad for a 60.00 win... any suggestions as to motherboard I should get to run it??

I recommend running that in an Intergraph Zx10. They have Tyan boards in them with the right AGP slot and they perform really nicely, I used to have a setup like that. There should also be Linux drivers for it available from 3D Labs, if not there's always XiG which produces such drivers albeit at a cost.

Well you can always look into a dual AMD Opteron based Tyan board.
