The graphics card market for the workstation segment used to move at its own, more leisurely pace - until now. Although the rule still applies that cards aimed at the professional market space only appear a few months after their gaming/mainstream counterparts, ATI is speeding things up a bit this time. The Canadian company has released no fewer than five cards based on chips belonging to the R600 series, creating a numerical balance of power with Nvidia's product portfolio. After all, Nvidia's professional product line based on the G80 chip also counts five members, as the following table shows.

Is there any reason why these applications couldnt run on a Geforce or Radeon card? Why spring over 1000 bucks for cards with seemingly tame specs?
