Op Digit-Life is een uitgebreide review verschenen van verschillende kaarten ontworpen voor professioneel 3D werk. Getest worden de Wildcat II 5000, de ATi FireGL 2, de ATi FireGL 8800 en verschillende Quadro kaarten (2 MXR, 2 Pro, DCC, 4 750GXL & 900GXL). De winnaars van de test zijn zonder twijfel de nieuwe nVidia Quadro kaarten. De Quadro 4 750GXL en de Quadro 4 900GXL zijn maar liefst 50 à 100 procent sneller dan de concurrentie. En het verschil in snelheid is niet het enige:
The FireGL 8800 is a successful product indeed. The only thing that the developers have to do is to correct the drivers to avoid errors in the 3D MAX. However, even if they do it, ATI is half a year late. The FireGL 8800 was intended to be a competitor against Quadro4 750XGL both in price and in performance, but it fights against the Quadro4 750XGL not very well, as well as against the Quadro DCC and Quadro2 PRO. Well, better late than never.
The Wildcat II 5000 shows the most stable results. Taking into account that it lacks for any quality problems I could recommend you this card... if not the price. At such price one can get a more efficient modern accelerator.
