I think it's the PRICE!!!Why not try 3dlabs Wildcat VP series?Priced just fair and rocks in performance.

because I heard the wildcats are bad in hardware rendering....maybe it's falce but who knows...

and thanks for replying... at least somebody did ( :rolleyes: ) :D

cool card, pricey but cool.....i wish i had one of them.

id go for the quadro fx 500
costs not much
is as fast as fx 3000

hw rendering its not THAT fast
but vievport is real good

i read a benchmark with all the new pro cards
i think its on 3dchips.com

wow for $839.00 I would expect nothing wrong with it! Thats a crazy price - not worth it IMO

The Fire GL X2 256 is ATI's highest performance workstation graphics card. Thats a real workhorse. I've seen it at work at SIGGRAPH last year. Read about it here.

yup, that's why I want it so bad :D

I'm trying to go for at least a 256MB Video card...

for now, I'll have to wait and I'll get my CPUs first because they are the most expencive and then I'll start saving for this baby!

Get the Quadro FX500

because....?

It will do the job for a lot less and in some reviews I read that the speed jumps between the FX500 and his stronger bros is not that noticeable.


And you can even have Hardware rendering.(though I have heard it wouldn't yield the same quality as a regular software renderer)

one thing thoguh - it is a bit noisier.
