The SUN Microsystems XVR-4000 Graphics Accelerator
Here is a publication by Michael Frank Deering, the man who created this monstrous graphics card:

I just thought that I would post a few pictures of my XVR-4000, as there are basically no pictures of this piece of hardware available on the web:

It's about three times as powerful as an SGI V12 and has nine times the geometry performance of an SGI Infinite Reality III sytem.

According to Michael Frank Deering (it's creator), "This product still has by far the highest final antialiased pixel quality of any real-time machine ever built."
