jnskyliner34 · 03-23-2008, 01:51 PM

ahhh. it was advertised in the bottom of the page with the features of a gaming card so i assumed it was one.

woops.

so, it was like the fx5500 a while back that costs also as much.

Nevakonaza · 03-23-2008, 01:54 PM

yeah im sure its for cad or something as it says workstation and they usualy are over $1000.

Yeah, the FireGL cards are CAD cards, used for rendering and such...

Not sure how'd they do in gaming... on the plus side, you could make Toy Story 4 in your own home

As others have said, thats a CAD/workstation card. The 9800GX2 would be MUCH better in gaming.

Picked up this card the other day, and I just have to say WOW! It fit perfectly in my Intel Mobo PCI slot 1.0 X.... it makes my PII - 333 with HT fly! Diablo never looked sooooo good. And Quake (the orginal) forget it, this card plays that game no problem. Can't wait to see how Civ 3 looks. Get this card, it's the best!
