Watch out for the power demands too. Check your psu is up to it.

 

What’s the deal on dual cards and xsi. Worth it?

Sorry, meant to add, the geforce 8800 cards are ok, but the opengl performance is pretty bad, and they do run hot. I ended up swapping out my 8800gtx and don't regret it.

Hello fabrice!

The 4600 has got a decent rep, but the newest firegl ati cards (v5600, v7600, v8600) are beating it in performance and price - I just don't know anyone who's using them with xsi to comment on the display drivers etc.

Is it for the company or personal? I picked up a dirt cheap quadro 4500 on ebay, always one option :)

cheers

Hi list,

 

here we go again.

What would be your recommendations for a pro graphics card without paying 

top crazy price for an Quadro FX5600  ?

 

It would be used for all XSI general tasks ( model, anim, sim etc...) on medium to heavy scenes.

 

I read from older posts that the Quadro FX 4600 has good all round performance.

What about ATI cards ? Anyone using those ?

 

Is there still a huge performance/stability gap with Geforce cards ?

 

Thanks in advance ,

F.
