Hrmm interesting... Maybe this will be one of those situations where the US started off ahead with the imperial system, then the Europeans got their more advanced and scientific metric system but the US was slow to adopt the standard. And then the US switches over to a new even more scientific system but the EU stays with its backwards "metric" system.
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.
Thats assuming your going to be running the T221 or any other high end monitor that has that kind of resolution. Plus if you can afford a T221, you can easily afford a 256mb or 512mb FireGL/Quadro.
omg omg omg the corporations are out to get us!!!! run for cover!!!
You are being overly ignorant, these video cards are Workstation graphics card. The higher end versions usually cost somewhere in the range of $2,000 and above. Not to mention the software that actually benefits from these cards cost on the order of $1,000-$10,000+.
Yes they certainly are gouging the engineers because you know, engineers can't keep track of numbers...
That's like taking an article on gravitational wave theory and saying the tensor mathematics are more interesting because you have never been exposed to that kind of math before.
Slashdot Mirror
Ohh and this is just another reason why software patents are completely useless... Just used to stifle competition completely.
They really need to do something about software patents, like set them to only 3 years.
So they can't come up with their own products, they just decided to sue Apple?
Ohh and a patent for a digital jukebox? Hello ever hard of the Nomad Jukebox?!?
Ohh and then, umm 12% of sales form iPods? Holy shit thats a lot of fricking money...
Definetly Physics.
Mainly because im doing Physics, but also because umm you can do government software?
And the nerf bat of doom!
Spurs Innovation!
This is certainly a good thing, Maybe now Google and Microsoft will also release their search APIs.
Of course I hadn't RTFA article yet, so what I just said above is idiotic...

Replacing the second while your at it, and the meter! Units based off of the earth.

Here
only after they make WindGL, EarthGL, and WaterGL.
Then Captain Planet can come and save the day from the evil corporations!

Tom's Hardware and Anandtech getting slashdotted??!?!
Sorry but you are overestimating the slashdot affect here.
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!
The video card for the rest of us...
ohh dear god no!!
Too bad its only 15fps... Otherwise it would be perfect.
Way to go SciFi Channel!
Now just go ahead and buy Enterprise and I will love you!
"Isn't it a bit ironic for you to read into my comment and berate me for being arrogant in an inflamatory and aggressively ignorant post?"
No, stupid people need to be keeped in check.
My dreams of becoming a succesful artists of the likes of Justin Timberlake and The Hanson Brothers has just been shattered.
Excuse while I go sit in a corner and cry.
Yes, and the first planet that has signs of intelligent life, shall be now known as Planet Bush!
Yes, the next moon will be named Hitler!
No that's not a death star! It's just Hitler!
Well thats just because your slow

...Zero G manufacturing?
thats not what they are talking about it...
