NVIDIA has now added a Quadro FX 4500 X2 to its lineup of professional graphics cards. While NVIDIA does not explicitly mention Quad SLI in the product announcement, the card sports a dual-GPU PCB strikingly similar to that of GeForce 7 Quad SLI cards, and NVIDIA says SLI support is on the menu along with "the industry's first quad dual-link DVI."

The new FX 4500 X2 also features 512MB of memory per GPU, a 256-bit memory bus, and 33.6GB/s of memory bandwidth. DailyTech claim the FX 4500 X2 draws over 200W at peak load, which would add up to an impressive 400W for a Quad SLI configuration. It is not known whether NVIDIA opted to build the Quadro X2 off a power-efficient 90nm G71-based GPU, though, or whether it's still made with the same 110nm G70-based GPU as the vanilla FX 4500.

Thats pretty awesome!
Is it for gaming? I mean is it a mainstream card for ordinary gamers or is it meant for businesses?

If you check google on it, gaming graphics cards tend to have higher fps at the low settings, and the quadros have average fps. That changes at high settings where the quadro eclipses the geforce and gives better performance at extremely high settings/resolutions.
