Looking for a quality, high performance gfx card

[Karlos]

Well, there's high-performance, and there's high-performance...

If money is not an issue :-) you could go for one of these...

I think you can get it for under $1000 :-)

-edit-

Incidentally, it wipes the floor with anything either nVidia or ATI have yet come up with (I have seen for myself)...

[Karlos]

Dunno. They belong to Creative IIRC. Maybe nVidia bought them too?

-edit-

If they did, how come their cards suck in comparison?

That one looks cool, but it's
1) More of a workstation card than a gamers card (I want the latter)

3) A little too expensive  :-P

True, it is a workstation card but, OpenGL compilant stuff runs very nicely indeed - including games ;-)

It's fully OGL2 compliant too, so shaders and the like are no problem. As for DX8, there probably are shader-centric drivers available - 3DLabs are very good in that respect.

As for cost, well heh, you got a point there...
