    It's a workstation graphics card, not a gaming card...
    Take a loot at the other FireGL's or Quadros, they go in the price range of $2,000 and above!

    You can do a small modification to some ATI radeons to make them fireGL cards http://www.rojakpot.com.nyud.net:8090/default.aspx ?location=3&var1=185&var2=0

    The drivers are more optimized for the tasks that they perform. And yes there are benchmarks, and no they are not better then gaming specific cards. Usually the gaming specific video cards beat the living shit out of the workstation graphics cards.
