Wildcat 3 Graphics card

[Scooba Da Bass]

Anyone have any idea how these cards perform gamewise? We've got a pretty good deal on the 6210 bundled with Maya and some plugins, obviously it'll mostly be used for Video work, but I'd like to know if I'll be able to still play Moh:aa ;o)

 

[Summo]

Hmm... Firstly, I have no experience of these cards (good start) but I seem to remember that these sort of 'graphics professional' card don't run games particularly well.

That said, according to the technical specifications, the Wildcat III supports DirectX 7.1 and OpenGL 1.3, so most games should be covered, including MOHAA, I'd say.

But then again, what do I know?

The site also mentioned you need Windows 2000 or XP.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I've got XP, and the memory on that thing is stupid, so I think I'm gonna get one heh

 

[FuZor]

Thats an insane amount of memory!!!

 

[Embattle]

Normally games performance on them sucks.

 

[Yaka]

get them Nvidia qutoro jobbies even mags like CA and 3dworlds prefered it over the wildcat, btw 3dlabs/creative labs are going to realease gfx card wit thier own GPU ,they will prolly make a high end ver of this card too so maybe its best to wait

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Any idea where in the uk sells the Quadro 4, hopefully I'll be able to get one of the wildcats and the Quadro 4 900 to compare, whichever is 'TEH WIN' for Video will be invested in.

PNY are planning to supply some Quadro 4 based solutions.

I'd be more tempted to get a FireGL 8880 tbh.




(The fact that FireGL is now owned by ATi has nothing to do with this - they make the boards but have nothing to do with the driver/hardware design process.)

and which while costing more than even the 4-display quadro boards lose in all but a few professional graphics benchmarks...

hmm and you say that the fact that FireGL is now owned by ATi has nothing to do with your choice? then why pray tell?

Not as much as it was...for various reasons.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

Hmm, I think the Wildcat is going to the better option, mainly as it supports Genlocking, I'm just off to find a place who can send me one to test, what fun

 

[bodhi]

I forgot that Xavier is planning on being the next Tom or Anand. Except that he doesn't know enough about anything to be a Tom and is far too dull to even be an Anand.

Sorry master, let me be your apprentice, I wish to be instructed in the way of the geek.

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I must try to remember that a sense of humour equals geeky, oh...hold on, no it doesn't.

Edit;

Just checked your site, you go to LANs, congratulations, you win the geek prize, please move on.

 

[old.Dan_the_man]

Christ, if your going to dish out critisism, learn to take some back.

And I dont go to lans, I popped in at savlan 4 to see me m8 and to see what goes on, thats as far as it goes, they are actually pretty normal ppl!

 

[Scooba Da Bass]

I'd accept your criticism if it was appropriate or even funny, you were equating humour with geekiness, you am the loose etc...

PS, you attend LANs, you am the geek prize winner
