Anyone using the 3DLabs Wildcat VP880 or VP990? Could you please give a review? Ken
I test drove the 990 and I spent most of my time in a BSOD in XP. I can't support those cards because of that test run. Regards, Scott
I had opportunity to use a VP990 retrofitted into a high end Dell for a couple months. I didn't really have any problems attributable to the card. The system was fast and somewhere I have the Ship in a Bottle benchmark. If I come across it, I'll post the times which were pretty good. In my experience Wildcat and Nvidia are the only two brands I would trust for SW although I know there are some diehard ATI folks out there.
i used to have vp870. had severe crashes when saving an assy (200+ parts) as a multi-body part. using an fx2000 now
Kenneth have you seen these benchmarks for the Nivida cards? http://www.cgnetworks.com/story_custom.php?story_id=2214&page=1 Regards, Scott
nice review. when we got the first fx2000 a while back, the only fx's at the time where 500, 1000 & 2000 (we just decided to stay with the old 2000 for consistency). it never fails, as soon as you buy a high end piece of hardware, the next day a new better, faster & cheaper version comes out.
I thought maybe if you had just bought them, you could get the 1100 and return your 2000. But I guess not? Good luck! Regards, Scott
I owned the VP880Pro for ~6weeks, I got my money back and went for the "128M Nvidia Quadro FX-1000 DDR2 AGP" no complaints with nvidia yet! with the Wildcat, the screen would often be corrupted, even to the extent that the bios screen was unreadable, 3dlabs suggested that the onboard memory was failing, I'd have to agree with them but i wasn't willing to try again with the same type of card! Maybe I was unlucky but while I researched my problem I came acroos lots of other people strugling with their Wilcat Cards. hence I asked for a refund as opposed to a replacement. Olly (UK)
