Allright, I've been DIEING to know.  The money doesn't matter, I just want the best performance for gaming.  Should I get a Radeon card or a FireGL?  I just need to know what's the best right now.[i][/i]  If someone could specify, that would be nice :).  REMEMBER, I DON'T CARE IF THE CARD COSTS $1,000,000.  I JUST NEED TO KNOW.

Radeon are better for gaming, FireGL for workstations (CAD, rendering, etc). Radeon also tend to perform a lot better for a given price.
 
Same goes for GeForce vs Quadro - Geforce = gaming, Quadro = workstation.

Just my two frames' worth.

Just give me the $1,000,000.00 (US or Canadian funds accepted) and I'll make sure you get the best ATi card out ther right now, heck if you act now I'll throw in a second one free of charge.  [:thegreatgrapeape:8]

FireGL is optimized for applications like Maya. But the raw power difference between workstation cards and high end gaming cards is so large at this point that the gaming cards comes on top no matter what.

If you researched ANY gaming benchmarks, you will NEVER see a FireGL or Quadro card tested at all. That right there should tell you that the FireGL cards aren't made for gaming.
