Hi, this may be the dumbest post ever, but I can't seem to compare these 2 :S .
I have an Nvidia 6600 256 and I'm very happy with it's performance, but in a recent system upgrade, my supplier treated me with an "special offer" and offered me an ATI FireGL 128.
The card is about 2-3 years old, so, it's not a new FireGL model, but in my experience, age means squat when it comes to graphic cards (my favourite card ever was a Vodoo3 16 mb
). Still I'd really like to know witch is best.
So, I have a couple of questions
The FireGL is labeled a "pro board" by ATI, so, it's supposed to kick ass when it comes to hardware graphic functions and processing right? Do you think it outmatches the 6600, or does a recent standart game card have the capabilites of a 2-3 years old "pro card"?
Will the FireGL handle recent games as well or is it only 3D-Work oriented (in terms of performance, Graphics and drivers)?
I can't provide the full description for the FireGL card because I don't have it yet (its on route), I just know it was "standart equipment" for the HPX4000 workstation (and it was removed from one), and that It should be about 2-3 years old
The destination box, so to speak, is equipped with an Tyan S2603 board, 2 intel xeon processors at 2.0 each and 1 gb rimm at 800. I would try it out and figure out by myself, but I can't power off that computer unless it's really necessary and so, if I could gather some informations to help me decide it would be very nice.
Thanks for your input on this
