Success in the OpenGL graphics card market does not just depend on the equipment. The bottom line is reliability. Workstation buyers often pay more than twice the price for an OpenGL card, despite the fact that the hardware reveals only tiny changes to its mainstream equivalent. The main difference is in the driver development.
This test puts ATI's FireGL X2-256 in the ring with the NVIDIA Quadro FX 3000. Besides these high-end products, we also put budget cards Quadro FX 500 and FireGL T2-128 to the test. The <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030305/index.html" target=_blank>FX 1000 and FX 2000</a>, and the <a href="http://www.tomshardware.com/graphic/20030321/index.html" target=_blank>X1 and Z1</a> are still current. The latter were also put through the same hoops.
