Matrox unveiled the Luma Pro graphics card, powered by two Intel Arc A380 processors and equipped with eight monitor ports

Matrox and Intel – a new professional video controller

As part of a joint project with Intel, Matrox introduced the Luma Pro A380 Octal (LUMA‑A380P8) graphics card, aimed not at ordinary users but at specialized tasks.

Key specifications
- Ports: 8 Mini DisplayPort 2.0 – allows connecting eight monitors to one PC
- Graphics processor: Two Intel Arc A380E (Alchemist) in a single‑slot chipset
- Memory: 12 GB GDDR6, providing high bandwidth
- Resolution and refresh rate: Supports 5 K at 60 Hz, HDR‑12‑bit
- Bus: PCIe 4.0 ×16 with a six‑pin power connector
- Power consumption: 130 W
- Cooling: Active system (rated fan)
- Form factor: Single‑slot – 26.45 cm length × 12.68 cm height

What makes it unique
* Multi‑channel support: Eight ports allow outputting content to a large number of screens without additional devices.

* Parallel use: If one set of ports is insufficient, you can install two cards in the same computer and synchronize their outputs. This is convenient for video walls, digital signage, control panels, and monitoring systems.

* Compatibility with Intel Arc: Two identical GPUs provide sufficient computational power for intensive graphics tasks.

Additional models
Matrox also offers A310 Quad and A380 Quad versions, which, judging by the name, provide four Mini DisplayPort outputs instead of eight. These cards are intended for the same professional scenarios but with fewer outputs.

Thus, the Luma Pro A380 Octal becomes a powerful solution for companies that need to manage a large number of screens from one computer and offers flexibility in configuration thanks to dual GPUs and scalability potential.
