ATi FireGL X1 Vs. NVIDIA Quadro FX 2000

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pro-grade-card-shootout dept.

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."

    even if the ati card WAS faster, hell will freeze over before i ever buy another card from them!

    they have crappy support, crappy hardware (as in reliability) and crappy drivers. i've had so many ATI cards die on me it's not even funny.

    on the other hand i've had only one nvidia card die, due to rough handling and no fan (it came loose somehow and i didn't notice it, probably in transport)

      you've obviously been hiding in a cave the last year. ATI is kicking the crap out of nVidia in all departments except market share, number of cheats in drivers, lies told to consumers, and arrogance.
