I got a SGI with a WildCat(even old one) and my friend got the "CQ 3Dlabs Wildcat III 6110" and what can i say but...BOTH SUX for gaming. I mean he spened half his paycheck(what is already more than what my whole PC cost) and it runs worse than Rad 98 XT.
Don't get a workStation Card for a PC. Unless you wanna do some serious rendering instead of gaming. In that case go ahead and render like there is no tomorrow :P

simple, because its not built for gaming at all, its built for rendering. its a rendering card and nothing else.
so really do not even think about getting that if its playing games you are after.

this line shuld have given you a hint ;)
"So, whether you're working on realistic animations, intricate CAD renderings, or complex scientific visualizations - if you can imagine it, you can make it real with Wildcat Realizm" ;)

Don't buy professional rendering cards for games! ...that's just wrong


Its like buying a limo for formula 1 racing ...sure it has the luxury and power...But what about the handling and performance ?

dude it makes perfect sense.
the card is BUILT for apps like 3dsmax etc and NOT for games.
it can have all the power in the world but if its not built for games it wont do jack shit.

you really need to do your homework, go out on the net and do some research and you will see.
