Purpose-built PACS graphics

The Barco MXRT-5500 is a new workstation graphics card designed for medical imaging workstations. It targets radiologists and PACS administrators who need to drive two diagnostic displays plus a third monitor for patient lists or 3D viewing from a single expansion slot.

PCI Express 3.0 x16 bandwidth ceiling

The card connects through a PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface, which sets the maximum data rate between the GPU and the rest of the system. Workloads that move very large image datasets across the bus will be limited by this generation-three link rather than by the card’s own processing capability.

2 GB GDDR5 frame buffer capacity

Only 2 GB of GDDR5 memory is available for textures, frame buffers and intermediate compute results. Studies that exceed this capacity will force the driver to swap to system memory, so buyers planning high-resolution multi-modality viewports should verify their typical dataset footprint before choosing this model.

Questions about this item

Which memory size and type should I pick for diagnostic imaging workloads?

The card comes with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, sized for dual diagnostic displays plus a third monitor in PACS workstations.

What does the 5500 model number mean for real-world multi-monitor use?

The MXRT-5500 drives three monitors from a single PCIe slot, supporting two diagnostic displays and an auxiliary screen for worklists or 3D viewing.

How does the PCI Express 3.0 x16 interface limit data throughput in practice?

The PCI Express 3.0 x16 link provides the bandwidth needed for three simultaneous display outputs and Barco tools such as CloneView, DimView and SpotView.
