Matrox has announced a new professional graphics card, the Luma Pro A380 Octal, based on two Intel Arc A380 GPUs. The new product is not intended for the gaming market — it is focused on solutions in the field of visualization, digital signaling and working with multiple displays at the same time.
The video card is equipped with two GPUs and a total amount of video memory of 12 GB, distributed equally between the chips — 6 GB each. The power consumption of the card is 170 watts, which is slightly higher than the TDP level of the mass NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 model. At the same time, we are talking about a significantly less productive solution if we evaluate it from the point of view of standard computing tasks or rendering.
One of the key features of the Luma Pro A380 Octal is the presence of eight mini-DisplayPort connectors. Thanks to this, the card can simultaneously display images on eight screens with a resolution of 5K or on four 8K screens. All this is implemented in a compact single-slot design, which is especially important for use in industrial, work and embedded systems with limited space.
Despite its relatively low computing power, Matrox relies on stable performance, support for multiple displays, and compatibility with professional applications, including video surveillance, real-time information management, and display.
