NVIDIA's New Pro Graphics Quadro FX 3000 Reviewed

Posted by CmdrTaco on

SpinnerBait writes "NVIDIA recently took the wraps off their next generation Workstation Graphics card, the Quadro FX 3000. This card is based on the same general GPU architecture as the NV35 but optimized for CAD and DCC applications. This article over at HotHardware shows what the new Quadro FX 3000 is capable of and it makes a strong showing. However, you've got to pay to play (or work) on this card, that's for sure."

    That's funny, I thought nVidia was "optimzed" for 3DMark2003.

      I only go for video cards that are optimized for my wallet.

    One has to wonder how well it can run Police Quest. Time will tell. I'm sure NVidia is dodging this test.

  5. What about Half-life 2? by az · · Score: 2, Funny

    The review is good and well, but what framerate do I get when i run Half-Life 2?

    You know, for 3D accelerated direct client-to-client file transfers on IRC. Yeah. I can't wait for this card to be supported under Linux so I can view BitchX in all its full, 3D text glory (as seen in Hackers).

    Oh wait.. Google says it stands for "digital content creation". Poo.
