Any Thoughts on this Video Card?

[Twinpeaksr]

Building a new system shortly, still looking a video cards and found this. Anyone have any thoughts or know anything about it? Would be nice to have the video inputs/outputs/TV Tuner as well as the Dual DVI and should be a good chipset.

he never said he was building a gaming computer
TThe quadro and firegl series cards are nearly identical to the geforce and radeon series in the sense of their chips, however, the drivers for the pro gfx cards are programmed to allow better image quality at the expense of frame rates. The catylist drivers are the opposite: they pump out more frames at the expense of image quality.
A better gaming card for the money would be either an x1900xt 256mb, if you can find one in stock somewhere, or a 7900gto.
That's a decent pro gfx card though... please tell us your intended use!

I will mainly be doing CAD, a little gaming but nothing that is super graphics intensive. Also heavy multitasking, and engineering simulation (not much to do with video). With the Video Inputs/Outputs I would use it as a TV Recorder and as an input for Video so that I can eliminate my Video Tapes (yea I still have a few).

Any Thoughts on this??

Hmmm... you could check out the x1900 AIW (all in wonder) It has a full 48 pixel shaders and a tv tuner. Only one dvi output, so don't get it if you need 2 lcd's. It performs just about as well as the 7950gt.

x1900 would work well if it had 2 DVI. Doh!

Did you completely miss the main CAD and little gaming part?

please name for me a quadro or firegl card w/ tv tuner.
please explain in detail the difference among gfx chips firegl and radeon;quadro and geforce.
then you can make a sarcastic remark.

Stupid bad specs, no TV Tuner, only HDTV Output. I should have known.

I will let others duke it out.

Thanks for the info!
