I currently own a FireGL v5100 and I'm quite sodisfacted about overall performance and compatibility with various 2D and 3D sw, altought it's powered by the quite old x800 GPU I believe Quadro and FireGL cards are more targeted for particular 3D sw. like Autocad, Catia, SolidWorks etc. You pay more to have an optimized OpenGL driver that give no more speed but better compatibility and visualization precision. In Vue (and many other apps) you get better performance by using any modern consumer card much more powerful and less expensive. A question I've about consumer card is which one show a better OpenGL support, ATi or Nvidia ? Cheers, Mario
