Affordable Workstation Graphics Card Shoot-Out

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday February 5, 2008 @07:33PM from the how-not-to-spend-four-digits dept.

MojoKid writes "While workstation graphics cards are generally much more expensive than their gaming-class brethren, it's absolutely possible to build a budget-minded system with a workstation-class graphics card to match. Both NVIDIA and ATI have workstation-class cards that scale down below $500, a fraction of the price of most high-end workstation cards. This round-up looks at three affordable workstation cards, two new FireGL cards from AMD/ATI and a QuadroFX card from NVIDIA, and offers an evaluation of their relative performance in applications like Cinema 4D, 3D StudioMax, and SpecViewperf, as well as their respective price points."

sure, would you like your distribution to come on CD, QIC tape or DAT ? And what about the devkit or will you be using that open source stuff ? The last release I've got I think was IRIX 6.2, after that I switched to KDE/Linux and gave all my SGI stuff away.

Can't say I miss it either :)
