[ignorant gamer]I dunno, FSAA only up to 1152x864, and only only 32 lights in hardware? Kinda weak don't you think? And what's this? A GeForce4 has 128mb of frame buffer; this thing only has 64!    (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)[/ignorant gamer]

   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif) Just gimme one of these, my Lightwave and a month off. That's all I ask. Just a WildCat III 6110. I'm not asking for much. Honest. Really.

Hrrmm.

If i get another contract im having one...it shouldnt cost too much since I already have a GVX1pro...*fingers crossed*

Apparently 3dlabs have something else in the pipeline as well...although as far as pre-release information goes they're tighter then a singularity.

I just tried to convince my wife I needed one (heck, its just a paycheck, right?). She just stared at me like I'd grown a fifth eye. I think she's still bitter about the shoes I wouldn't let her buy.

When you consider that this isn't a game card (like an GeForce or Radeon) and is strictly focused on the high end rendering workstation market, it seems like a lot less money. Cards like this used to run a heck of a lot more, and are well worth every penny you pay for them.
