Experience with Quadro FX 560

(OP)
  Does anyone have any experience with the new nVidia Quadro FX 560 graphics card?  I know its on the approved/certified list form SolidWorks.  I'm just looking for info on anyone's experience with them.  We have been unhappy with the ATI FireGL V3100 we have running the certified SolidWorks driver (6.14.10.4905).

RE: Experience with Quadro FX 560

I was running an older version (sort of) of that card, the FX-500 and liked it--no problems.  In fact, it's still in my older Xi box being used.

I'd recommend going to nVidia's site and checking the comparison chart.  If I remember, the 560 has a faster processor, but about the same amount of RAM.  I was building assemblies with several hundred parts with the FX-500 and had no problems.  Same with fewer parts, with very complex geometry.
