The NVIDIA GRID VCA MAX model costs $39,900 plus a $4,800/yr software license covering unlimited devices.
Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.
Factual: Statements about the present or the past, checked against the record: did they hold up?

What would count as true or false
Judge as of March 2013 (the GTC 2013 announcement of NVIDIA GRID VCA). True: NVIDIA's official pricing for the GRID VCA 'MAX' configuration was $39,900 plus a $4,800 per year software licence covering unlimited devices. Mostly true: both prices match, but a minor detail differs (for example the licence terms say 'unlimited clients/users' rather than devices, or the price was quoted as starting or estimated). Mostly false: one of the two prices differs, or the licence did not cover unlimited devices. False: there was no MAX model, or both prices are materially different.

“Available in the United States in May from authorized value-added resellers, NVIDIA GRID VCA is offered in 8 GPU or 16 GPU configurations, with pricing starting at $24,900, plus an annual software license of $2,400.”
Reasoning
Two independent March 2013 reports give the larger 16-GPU GRID VCA configuration's price as $39,900 plus a $4,800-per-year software licence (E2, E3), which matches both figures in the claim. NVIDIA's announcement confirms that 8-GPU and 16-GPU configurations existed, with pricing starting at $24,900 (E4). None of the evidence uses the name 'MAX' for the 16-GPU model or says whether the licence covered unlimited devices. Because both prices match and only these smaller details are unconfirmed, the claim resolves mostly true.
