EPX features on the world’s highest performance PC-IG

EPX™-500 is based on Rockwell Collins' simFUSION® value-added PC image generator, which combines the power of multiple COTS graphics cards to increase image quality and rendering performance.

• Each graphics processor PC can be configured with up to 64 graphics cards
• Graphics cards are added to the system in four card increments called a "slice"
• Completely scalable and flexible, EPX-500 incorporates the full range of EPX technology features, including shader-based pixel-rate-lights, weather effects, environmental effects, sensors, and mission functions
