SpinnerBait writes "The professional graphics card arena has been heating up as of late, with new products from ATi and NVIDIA hitting the streets on the heels of SIGGRAPH unveilings. In a first of two article series, HotHardware has a showcase with benchmarks on the ATi FireGL X1 and NVIDIA Quadro FX 2000. It seems as though NVIDIA still has a stronghold in this market, as their card seems to dominate many of the benchmark runs shown here."

  1. Fire GL1 is a bad video card... by John+Seminal · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I own the GL1 and it is a horrible video card. It was a pain in the rear to get the driver working. Every time I ran the install, it had to reboot and then it did not recognize the card in anything but 800*640. Once I got the card working, some software would lock up when it changes resolution, like what games do. My experiance with the Fire GL1 is it is a horrible card.
