3D Labs Wildcat VP vs. NVidia Quadro/GeForce

Hello,
I have not tried these cards myself, but here is a link to the SolidWorks benchmark:
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."
cheers,
Joseph

Take a look at the following review dated Nov 12 2002:
It compares the Quadro4 900,750,550XGL, with FireGL8800, VP760, VP870... using Solidworks 2001+ as the benchmark...
