Best graphics card out there and it's not ATI or Nv
It's from 3d Labs. It's called the Wildcat and has 640Mb of onboard memory with a 512-bit bus so is twice as powerful than any other card out there

I dont think there drivers are compatible with too many games as these are workstaion cards made to run progs like 3d Max, Maya, CAD and other rendering progs. I might be wrong though!

for opengl professional apps yes (the top end quadro should keep up in most things due to slightly better drivers), for gaming no.

That Volari duo is a pile man. Even displaying this Doom 3 loveliness caused
the thing to drop to 1 fps. (Yes that's actually 1 as in one frame per second.

I have a PNY FX2000, $1200 dollar card, plays games OK not real great, frame rates are dead. Where it shines is in auto cad and 3D Studio Max. I don't even run on my gaming machine. It's in my storage server.

PowerVR is probably the BEST "other" contender... sadly, they haven't released a PC part for 3 years.....

I think that the best card out of the Nvidia and ATI is the Voodoo 5 6000 (4 cores not like the 5500 that have 2) if you can find the right drivers you can run Doom3 at very playable fps

of the hundreds of cards ive played with, id say overall the AX800XT PCIe card from Asus is the best. why? well it has the power of a X800XT, can be overclocked easily well past PE speeds, and has DUAL DVI out (rare for an ATI board due to additional costs) with 2 400mhz DACS for incredible IQ and also utilizes VIVO. the fan is quiet, glows blue for the case modders, and the heatsink is totally copper and also cools the ram.......

I've seen that Asus card and it does look godly, plus Dual DVI which would be a real plus. I haven't seen too many cards (mainstream, gaming) with Dual DVI but now a days it's becoming a bit more common.
