3D Labs Wildcat VP vs. NVidia Quadro/GeForce
3D Labs Wildcat VP vs. NVidia Quadro/GeForce
(OP)
Is anyone using any of the new 3D Labs Wildcat VP graphics cards yet?
If so, which one and how does it compare in performance to the NVidia cards?

I have not tried these cards myself, but here is a link to the SolidWorks benchmark:
http://www.solidmag.com/Summary/SWBM02_results.htm
Here is an exerpt:
"The NVIDIA Quadro II Pro graphics card in the MaxVision system earned the best score in the Graphics Test Average. It was followed closely by the ATI Fire GL2-equipped systems from Compaq and Dell. The Fire GL4 and Wildcat II 5000-equipped systems brought up the rear. The Quadro II Pro card is roughly $300 less expensive than the Fire GL2 card, but without results from a Pentium 4 system, it is only clearly faster when in an Athlon system. Once again, the high-end Wildcat and Fire GL4 cards don't seem to offer much for SolidWorks users, although the results are muddied a little since the processor scores for their two systems were not the best."

It compares the Quadro4 900,750,550XGL, with FireGL8800, VP760, VP870... using Solidworks 2001+ as the benchmark...

It looks like the VP's might be worth considering...
