Greif,

256 megs of video ram won't benefit you much with SW. 128 is all that's
really needed, even with Photoworks. Modern 3D games (which is what the card
is meant for) "do" need alot.

Unless you can hack the driver to use a unified back buffer, SW OpenGL will
only be able to use a small portion of it anyway. This is one of the reasons
you get multiple window slowdown with Geforce cards.

I don't know about you, but when I'm working on an assembly, I might end up
with twenty windows open after an hour. Geforce cards tend to start slowing
down with about three, and come to a dead stop with five or six. The Quadros
don't have this problem.

How much is your time worth ???

Regards

Mark

 

I use a GeForce 6800 Ultra at home. No problems encountered, but I don't
open more as 4 windows at a time.

SPECapc is a good benchmark for graphics cards. So is Ship in a Bottle.
