Craig Ramsay Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 Hi guys Does anyone know where I gan find a good test of recent high end 3D graphics cards? I think my oxygen is starting to strugle a bit. Oh I need a card with dual outputs Ta Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hess Posted March 14, 2003 Share Posted March 14, 2003 What type of dual output? DVI-I? If you doing Max/Viz any of the Nvidia Quadro4 line is a great buy. If your on a budget, there are a variety of ti 4600 and ti 4800 cards with dual dvi-i output. They work well with max/viz as well, but with slower wireframes. The newer radeon cards are having some issues, mainly with 3dsmax, and should be avoided. I believe digilife and xbitlabs both had recent roundups.

madmac3d Posted March 18, 2003 Share Posted March 18, 2003 I just got a ATI radeon9700pro($250 roughly I think) and it works pretty well in max.... You can even use RIVATUNER to emulate a FIRE GL X1.... which comes in at a cool $1000.... not bad for a gaming card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethace Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 NVIDIA's Back with NV35 http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.html?i=1821 But in May 2003 Ati also counter with a great board too, it is even down-clocked to leave some room for improvement later against NV39. Check out the following, 256MB of DDRII on consumer graphics boards, gee, would you ever think. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=9446 http://www.gamersdepot.com/hardware/video_cards/ati/9800pro_256/001.htm [ May 13, 2003, 01:04 PM: Message edited by: garethace ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andymcnair Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 hey madmac, is that emulator any good? I'm running the sapphire 9700pro, no problems with it so far but if i can up the performance then thats a bonus :ebiggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Hess Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 Quick note on the Matrox cards. Their great cards, as long as you don't require performance. If you need a competitive performing solution for your work, avoid the Matrox P cards at all costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethace Posted May 16, 2003 Share Posted May 16, 2003 I notice they do a big send up of MicroStation J at the MAtrox web site. MicroStation happens to be one of those programs that can yes - benefit from 3 screens, while no matter what new powerful graphics acceleration you put in, the open gl performance is still many orders of magnitude worse than 3dsmax even. So i think the 128MB or 256MB MAtrox p series card would be my card of choice for using MicroStation J or AutoCAD, with three screens on my desk.
